Powerhouses, welcome to the show, Jenn Deal! [
06:09] Y’all, Jenn is a brand protection attorney. Which is a fancy way of saying, if you have a trademark issue, she’s your girl. She also serves the legal industry as a certified coach for women lawyers. This episode we get into Jenn’s journey in big law that was surprisingly positive! [
08:38] You won’t believe what her secret weapon was: community. Her love for mentoring junior associates showed her a consistent set of pain points for us as women lawyers [
12:28]. Unfortunately, we are socialized not to excel in law, so it is our responsibility to unwind negative narratives we tell ourselves [
16:23]. Reframing our thoughts to create a safe space in our minds and finding evidence for who we actually are is exactly how we do this. As I mentioned in previous episodes, driving in silence will create a space for you to pay attention to subconscious thoughts and uncover discomfort. [
21:25] Then we get into the details of Jenn's transition out of Big Law and into a boutique firm. [
22:45] Take a moment to look at the people that surround you, if you don’t like what you see, it’s time to make a shift. Finally, Jenn’s Legally Blonde Moment features shoulder checking walls, just to make sure they are in fact there. [
