Allison Williams is the artist formerly known as the "DYFS Diva."  She's an attorney extraordinaire by anyone's standards.  If you see her in court (which is unlikely these days), you better show up and have eaten your Wheaties that morning.  She "shows up" and she fully expects the people in her orbit to do the same.  Allison has curated a law career that would take the rest of decades to achieve.  She has built a 7-figure law firm.  And she's not done.  Allison's pivot has been as the "Law...

Melaney LaGrone is a legal chameleon.  The law in various forms has been her calling.  She started out as a police officer in Detroit, walking the beat (back when cops actually had a beat).  When she filled her cup as a police officer, she moved on to law school, ultimately relocating to Atlanta to spend some time at the Prosecutor's Office before hanging a shingle.  Today she is the Atlanta Men's Law Firm with a focus on criminal defense and immigration.  But she's not done.  Melaney talks ...

April 13, 2021 08:00 - 55 minutes - 128 MB

I have had a girl crush on divorce lawyer-turned-mediator Phyllis Klein since I was a bright-eyed baby lawyer and heard Phyllis's voice bellowing down the hallway from her office fiercely advocating on behalf of a client. I thought, "THAT's the kind of lawyer I want to be!"  Fast forward about 17 years and here we are.  Phyllis has transformed her practice from divorce litigation to a strictly mediation practice.  She is a fierce mediator too!  What is that, you may ask? Aren't mediators sup...

March 09, 2021 05:51 - 1 hour - 71.5 MB

Christina McKinnon was a feisty young lawyer who started her own law firm shortly after law school when her peers were just finding their way to court. While Christina insists that she's not as feisty as she used to be, there is no evidence to support that. What Christina calls "feisty" is what has allowed her to evolve into a bold, charismatic woman with a gutsy business acumen and fierce determination to succeed. (One example: closing down her law firm to take a maternity leave and then st...

February 25, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 99.2 MB

February 12, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 83.3 MB

Interviewing California Psychiatrist Dr. Jenna Luu MD for the #femDR Series was a real treat.  How often do you get to pick a shrink's brain, rather than them picking yours?  Dr. Luu got personal (and honest) about what it's like to treat people with "the usual" anxiety and depression, but also more serious afflictions like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.  What may be surprising to you is how drugs and alcohol really affects our brains, especially as teenagers, the connection between the...
