My Journey

Hey lovely, I’m Marija šŸ‘‹

Lawyer. Leadership coach. Host of The Career Confidence PodcastšŸŽ™ļø

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 — while working part-time as a lawyer

  • Move between private practice, in-house, and an innovative firm — 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 — 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 — so you can lead on your own terms, not someone else's version of what that looks like.
