The pressure to perform is increasing, and self-care is taking a back seat. Isabelle used to find herself feeling lost in our high pressure society. Now she helps others make themselves their own priority by learning to attract joy and ease into their lives! For ten years, Isabelle worked in the corporate world and often found herself wondering why she wasn't happy even though she "had it all." She had a great career, always enough money, a nice apartment, and beautiful vacations, but still felt a strong feeling of lack. She questioned herself, doubted herself, and ultimately realized that even though she loved her career it wasn't fulfilling her soul's purpose.Isabelle then started her journey into self-development and has never stopped! She got herself out of the mentalities of lack and self-doubt. She began to trust herself, her talents and her intuition in order to attract joy and ease into her life. Today Isabelle works as Intuition Coach and helps women in corporate to get out of that lack mentality and get from self-doubt to self-TRUST.*********Don't miss an episode!Subscribe at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, wherever you get your podcasts, or at our website.Audio editing and original music provided by Encompass Podcast Studio.

Bob embodies the term “Philadelphia Lawyer.” Honored by his peers numerous times as a Super Lawyer, Bob has tried over 50 criminal and civil jury trials in his 25 year career. His cases of note include successfully representing clients in capital murder cases and other high-profile criminal and civil matters. In May 2018, Bob secured the largest malicious prosecution civil rights verdict in Pennsylvania history when a jury awarded his client, Khanefah Boozer, $10 million. Bob has litigated thousands of cases, cross examined thousands of witnesses, and appeared in countless cases in the bare-knuckles courts of Philadelphia and throughout Pennsylvania. Having navigated his clients through some of the most politically charged and legally complex cases and crises any lawyer will ever face, makes him a sought-after counselor, lawyer and problem-solver. Bob has developed a unique set of skills as well as the insight and resilience to help clients and other advocates in any situation they face. As a battle-tested litigator, Bob has the scars and hard-won wisdom to show for it. Bob's willingness, over the course of his career, to finally acknowledge and confront the struggle, self-doubt and deep vulnerability that accompany trial work differentiate him from many fellow warriors. He is dedicated to mastering the inner game of advocacy. Bob has devoted himself to a journey of self-awareness in an effort to dialogue with advocates about what holds us back and how to unleash our greatest potential. His commitment is illustrated by the fact that he will soon complete his master's degree in mental health counseling. He understands the psychological challenges faced by lawyers cannot be overcome without a daily physical routine. Bob embodies this discipline through a daily yoga practice as well as being a certified yoga instructor.*********Don't miss an episode!
