Hey Powerhouses! Today I'm chatting with Nora Pleasant, a former sex crimes prosecutor turned successful entrepreneur and meditation leader. Nora shares her incredible journey from the courtroom to founding her own legal staffing company and beyond. We explore the importance of asking yourself the pivotal question, "What do I really want?"—a question many women often overlook.
Nora shares her transformative process of "Letting Go, Letting In, and Letting Be," offering a fresh perspective on how to navigate the various seasons of life and career. The conversation dives deep into the challenges faced by women in the legal profession, the struggle with work-life balance, and the internal and external pressures that can lead to burnout.
Nora offers inspirational wisdom on embracing non-linear paths, the importance of self-compassion, and the power of meditation in finding clarity and peace. Whether you're a lawyer questioning your current path or someone seeking balance in a demanding career, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable steps to help you align your life with your true desires.
