The Lawyers Escape Pod with Megan Smiley
I’m always super excited (and honored) to be a guest on a podcast. It’s no secret that I love to share information…especially about how to make plans and escape Biglaw.
Megan Smiley is a former lawyer and the ultimate boss lady of The Lawyers Escape Pod. She helps closet creatives stuck in law ditch the corporate grind and launch businesses that align with their unique strengths, interests, and values so they can live life on their own terms. Through her podcast, Megan showcases inspiring lawyers who left the law and want to share their stories and advice to help others take the plunge.
As a 2L and single mom of twins, I learned about money later in life and through trial and error. Along my journey I paid off $200,000 in student loans and found my true calling helping other lawyers escape Biglaw and get their money lives in order.
Megan and I really touched on the big parts of my strategy including examining how you got to where you are now and where you want to be in the future.
You can hear all the ways I may be different from other Accredited Financial Counselors plus topics like:
What a financial advisor is compared to other financial professionals
If you are not on top of your finances, you are not alone
The process I take my clients through
Strategies for student loans
Specific plans you can make if you’re considering entrepreneurship
You can plan, even with unknowns
FIRE movement planning
How much house you actually can afford
There are many different types of financial professionals so one of the most important things, for me, is making sure I only take on clients who are actually a good fit.
