My Journey
Hey lovely, Iām Marija š
Lawyer. Leadership coach. Host of The Career Confidence Podcastšļø
And someone who once walked away from law convinced she wasn't cut out for it.
If you're here, I'm guessing something in you is asking a question you haven't quite said out loud yet.
That's exactly where we start.
Nine years ago, I quit law.
I was in my first role as a lawyer, and I'd convinced myself that success meant one thing: climbing the corporate ladder. When I realised that wasn't what I wanted, I didn't think "maybe there's another way." I thought, "well, that's it. My legal career is over."
I spent a few months feeling like a failure. And then something shifted. A quiet, stubborn voice that said: there has to be another way to do this. To use my skills. To actually enjoy what I do.
That moment changed everything.
Since then, working intentionally and on my own terms has allowed me to:
Build a coaching business helping senior women in law lead with confidence ā while working part-time as a lawyer
Move between private practice, in-house, and an innovative firm ā bringing my strengths into every role
Speak at legal conferences
Be recognised as a finalist for Thought Leader of the Year at the Women in Law Awards
Back then, I couldn't have imagined any of it. Which is exactly why I do this work.
If you're a senior woman in law who's good at what you do, but something still feels off ā you don't need more credentials, more hustle, or more waiting.
You need clarity about what's actually getting in the way.
The Leadership Reset is where we start. It's a 1:1 coaching program designed to help you get out of your own head and back into your authority ā so you can lead on your own terms, not someone else's version of what that looks like.
