My Journey
Hey lovely, I’m Marija 👋
Lawyer. Leadership coach. Host of The Career Confidence Podcast🎙️
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.
