My Journey
Hey lovely,
welcome to my little corner of the interwebs!
My name’s Marija 👋
I help ambitious lawyers step fully into their leadership — with clarity, confidence, and presence — so they can make bold, intentional decisions without waiting for someone else to give them permission. 🚀
I’m also the host of The Career Confidence Podcast🎙️ where I share insights on leadership, mindset, and purpose, and interview incredible people who are making an impact.
9 years ago, I quit law thinking I wasn’t cut out for it.
It was my first job as a lawyer, and I believed the only path to “success” was climbing the corporate ladder. When I realised I didn’t want that, I thought, “Well, that’s it. My legal career is over.”
After a few months of feeling like a failure, something inside me shouted: “There must be another way to use my legal skills — and actually enjoy what I do.”
That moment became the catalyst for me to design my career and leadership MY way — intentionally, strategically, and aligned with who I am.
Since then, this approach has allowed me to:
Work part-time while running a career coaching business helping women lawyers step confidently into leadership
Bring my strengths fully into every role I take on
Speak at legal conferences
Move seamlessly from private practice, to in-house, to an innovative firm
Be recognised as a finalist for Thought Leader of the Year at the Women in Law Awards
Back then, I never would have imagined these things were possible — and now my mission is to help other ambitious women leaders experience the same freedom, clarity, and impact.
If you’re ready to lead with confidence and alignment, let’s talk.
