It's been two years since the first #FEMSQUIRE interview we did with New Jersey family lawyer Diana C. Schimmel, Esq. Back then, we were in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, and she shared with us how she was balancing her time as a lawyer and mom while navigating the challenges of the pandemic. She's been doing great since then (and better than ever!) In this episode, Diana, a remarkably empowered woman, shares how she's continued to evolve personally and professionally, which has been a long journey of self-discovery. As a partner at Martine, Katz Scanlon & Schimmel, P.A. @mkssfamilylaw, she has found more efficient ways to manage her law firm and to communicate in a way that empowers her clients and makes them feel heard. She's been a busy woman lately, what with being a mom, lawyer, and entrepreneur as well. But she's also been doing all of these things with an incredible amount of focus and dedication. She is all about helping people who are dealing with difficult circumstances find solutions for their problems through the power of law and justice—which is what makes her so passionate about being a lawyer. Listen to Diana's promising vision for her firm, and don't miss the valuable advice she gives on marriage and communication, plus all the other things she's been up to. Conversations with her are always such a treat! Included in this conversation: Her evolution in these two years How her law firm's efficiency has increased The importance of innovation in business How to find balance as a working mom Silver linings of the COVID-19 pandemic Career lessons she has learned Key traits of a family lawyer Letting your work speak for itself Signs a client is not a good fit for you A message for young attorneys Her ideal client Recognizing red flags Her exceptional work style Her career development throughout the years Marriage tips from a divorce lawyer What she loves the most about her work Why you need to trust your law firm partners The vision she has for her firm Her bucket list Find out more about Diana and her law firm here: https://familylawmks.com/diana-c-schimmel-esq/ Follow Diana on Instagram here: @dschimmy https://www.instagram.com/dschimmy Follow me on social media here: Instagram @theprev www.instagram.com/theprev/ Facebook @wakeupcallthepodcast www.facebook.com/wakeupcallthepodcast Twitter @ThePrevite twitter.com/theprevite You can also watch episodes of Wake Up Call on YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCjlkBJChmRfcu4l-kLs2Rwg If you think you would be an awesome guest on Wake Up Call, DM me on Instagram!

I'm proud to introduce you to Michael, a former gang member who turned his life around, and now helps others do the same. His story of redemption is powerful and needs to be shared with the world. He talks about his rough childhood and growing up in a gang-dominated neighborhood, where the only way he had of obtaining respect was through the use of violence and getting imprisoned. He didn't know any other way, and this is how he lived throughout his youth, getting in and out of jail while dealing with the trauma that was inflicted upon him from a young age. While he fought his demons and struggled to find a place for himself in the world, he knew he had to change his ways. He decided to take action and find help in the form of rehabilitation and therapy. Michael never gave up and kept going, one day at a time. With faith and the help of his therapist, he was determined to make himself a better person. Now in his 40s, he has found his purpose in life and uses his platform as a former gang member and prisoner to create a change in the lives of others. He became a social entrepreneur and the founder of Access 2 Excellence, a program that helps formerly incarcerated people reintegrate into society and provides them with education. Michael has broken free from the chains of his troubled past and is now motivating others to do the same. His story proves that there's hope for everyone. It'll inspire you to believe in yourself, to keep fighting for what you want, and to trust that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Included in this conversation: How living in a gang environment impacted his childhood Growing up without a positive male role model How his strong mother influenced him When he was first introduced to gang activity A realistic glimpse of gang life Anecdotes of his time as a gang member The reason he was incarcerated for the first time What it was like to be in prison for most of his youth What really happens inside prison The lowest point in his life The moment his path to redemption started What he did when he got out of prison for the last time Helping ex-prisoners with "Acess 2 Excellence" and "Justice "Reform" How he has positively transformed other people's lives His experience with psychedelic therapy Overcoming his anger and traumas A bit about his love life His purpose in life Reach out to Michael on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/michael.ulibarri.9465 Find Michael on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-ulibarri-754454160/ Follow me on social media here: Instagram @theprev www.instagram.com/theprev/ Facebook @wakeupcallthepodcast www.facebook.com/wakeupcallthepodcast Twitter @ThePrevite twitter.com/theprevite You can also watch episodes of Wake Up Call on YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCjlkBJChmRfcu4l-kLs2Rwg If you think you would be an awesome guest on Wake Up Call, DM me on Instagram!

Success is never a straight line but rather an upward climb, and the story of Alison Leslie exemplifies that. Despite wanting to quit her first year of law school, her confidence and determination never let the words “You can't” stop her from achieving her goal. So much so that after graduating from Seton Hall University and working at two boutique law firms, she opened her practice at the early age of 28! In this episode, she reflects on her experience entering the legal field and how the values she learned growing up helped her get by. She talks about her experience in law school and Catholic school, exciting anecdotes from her Court TV internship, and the knowledge she has gained from more than 20 years of family law practice. She credits her mother and the nuns at her high school for helping her grow into the confident, strong woman she is today—a great example of what can happen when you are surrounded by strong, driven women and are inspired by them: you develop into one yourself! Included in this conversation: Her educational background Why she picked family law The law school experience What she learned from her internship at Court TV Is it true that if you hated law school, you'll love practice? Her work experience before opening her practice Starting her own law firm at 28 years old The reasons why she loves being a family lawyer How the practice of law has changed over the years Networking before the internet was a boom Constantly evolving as a law firm owner How she runs her firm Her vision for her firm and personal goals The best advice she's ever gotten What Catholic school taught her The women she admires the most Focusing on what really matters in life Learn more about Alison and her practice here: https://www.leslielawfirm.com/ Follow Alison on Instagram here: @divorcenjleslielaw https://www.instagram.com/divorcenjleslielaw/ Find Leslie Law Firm, LLC. on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Divorce-in-New-Jersey-with-Leslie-Law-Firm-LLC-132138573543483/ Find Alison on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alison-leslie-599b775/ Follow me on social media here: Instagram @theprev www.instagram.com/theprev/ Facebook @wakeupcallthepodcast www.facebook.com/wakeupcallthepodcast Twitter @ThePrevite twitter.com/theprevite You can also watch episodes of Wake Up Call on YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCjlkBJChmRfcu4l-kLs2Rwg If you think you would be an awesome guest on Wake Up Call, DM me on Instagram!

It's always fascinating to hear the stories of those who took big risks in order to pursue a dream and were successful at it - and this was the case with Jonathan Sparks. After successfully practicing business law for years, he felt his calling was something else. Aware that those closest to him would consider him crazy, Jonathan courageously decided to tune out the opinions of others and pursue his longtime passion of becoming a musician. Get hooked on this story as he takes us through his musical journey of self-discovery, beginning when he learned to play his first song on the guitar at the age of 16, all the way to the talented man that he is today and everything else that shaped him in between. Jonathan is living the best of both worlds and has met plenty of supportive people along the way.

Businesswoman and former Emmy-nominated TV Producer Jessica Klingbaum isn't afraid to tell it like it is. She has a very impressive resume working in the media industry, having run live news shows for Fox News and CBS News. Characterized by her energetic personality, Jessica gives us a real and honest insight into the media industry, while sharing some jaw-dropping stories of her own. She had an amazing time for most of her career as a TV producer, but she isn't the type to stay stuck in a place for too long if she isn't feeling happy or fulfilled anymore (kudos to her!), so after a successful 22-year career, she made the decision to leave and launched two businesses, exEXPERTS and Be Hip and Healthy. She now focuses on helping other women to survive and thrive after divorce, having gone through it herself — which is why she's able to connect so well with her audience. Her career evolution is awe-inspiring and is an excellent example of how taking risks, even if you're full of uncertainty, can have such great outcomes. Despite all that she has accomplished, Jessica still has big dreams to come true and it's motivating to see how vividly she's working to achieve them. Included in this conversation: How she became a TV producer What it's like to work at live TV The role of a TV news producer Making original journalism and standing out The power of social skills Supporting other women in the workplace Interesting anecdotes of her days as a TV producer Megyn Kelly's trajectory in the media industry The Fox News workplace culture The dark side of the media industry A brief discussion of Bombshell Her career's evolution Why she quit being a TV producer Her dream job and plans for the future Follow Jessica on Instagram here: @jessicaklingbaum https://www.instagram.com/jessicaklingbaum/ Follow her business, exEXPERTS on Instagram here: @exexperts https://www.instagram.com/exexperts/ Find exEXPERTS on Facebook here: @exEXPERTS https://www.facebook.com/exEXPERTS/ Find Jessica on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessica-klingbaum-a2845821/ Read more about her business here: https://exexperts.com/ Follow me on social media here: Instagram @theprev www.instagram.com/theprev/ Facebook @wakeupcallthepodcast www.facebook.com/wakeupcallthepodcast Twitter @ThePrevite twitter.com/theprevite You can also watch episodes of Wake Up Call on YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCjlkBJChmRfcu4l-kLs2Rwg If you think you would be an awesome guest on Wake Up Call, DM me on Instagram!

When we're living a hectic lifestyle, or have a really busy mind, slowing down is exactly what we need to do to improve our health and well-being. But, how hard can this be sometimes! Psychologist and award-winning Author Jessica Borushok, who graduated from Bowling Green State University with a Ph.D in Clinical Psychology and an emphasis in Behavioral Medicine, currently practicing in California, is here to share her knowledge and show us ways in which we can identify and deal with unfavorable behavioral patterns, so we can make the most of our limited time and energy in order to create the life we desire.

You can take this as your cue to start being more present and connected with the things you CAN control. Why not start with a greater understanding of yourself, others, and the world we live in?

If there is one word to describe Anna-Maria Pittella, it is courageous.

If there's a lawyer who knows how to favorably ride out the storm, that's Elise Buie. After completely abandoning life as she knew it during Hurricane Katrina, the New Orleans-raised attorney had to relocate more than once with her children, all while homeschooling, being a stay-at-home mom, and going through a divorce at the time.

Kathleen Glasgow is the author of the New York Times bestselling novel Girl in Pieces, as well as How to Make Friends with the Dark and You'd Be Home Now (which drops 9/28/21). I first picked up Girl In Pieces at an airport. (I find the best books at the airport). I was mesmerized from the first page. Kathleen portrays beautifully complex characters dealing with kind of trauma that is often hidden away from view and not talked about. She gives us insight into what it feels like to be a young adult, trying to figure out the world and your place in it, all while dealing with very grown-up issues (e.g. self-harm, substance abuse, recovery). If you're a parent, you must read Kathleen's books. You will understand better (perhaps, remember?) what it's like to be a teen, not a child but not yet an adult. You'll also come away with a new appreciation and empathy for humanity. You might become a better parent, too. Included in this conversation: Kathleen's own experience with trauma How her experience influences her own parenting Her path from trauma to prolific writer Her creative process Insight into the main character, Charlie, of Girl In Pieces Discussion of the nature of addiction The overriding theme of her books Her vision for the future A limited series on Hulu?! (Are you listening Reese Witherspoon + Drew Barrymore)!
