the aligned leader
You’re doing it all - yet somehow, it still feels like you’re not moving forward.
You have a full life, maybe kids, furbabies and all the usual adult responsibilities.
AND on top of that, you’re ambitious and want to grow your network and attract the opportunities you keep seeing others broadcast on LinkedIn.
Secretly, you’re wondering: “I’m doing all the right things…checking all the boxes, working my butt off - so why do I still feel exhausted, uninspired and invisible?”
You want to be a leader who is grounded, visible, present and powerful - in your own way.
You want to integrate your life and work seamlessly, showing up fully in both, instead of feeling half-present everywhere.
You know something has to change (like yesterday) - because operating in this way is unsustainable.
Exhausted. Overperforming. Overwhelmed.
Feeling like your work is draining the life out of you.
Maybe you’ve been waiting for the pieces to fall into place. Waiting for life to ease up.
Waiting for permission to become the leader you desire to be.
The truth is: there is no perfect time.
The best time to start is now - in the messy middle… because that is what aligned leadership is.
For lawyers tired of overperforming and still feeling stuck - ready to rise into intentional, visible and powerful leadership that lasts.
Welcome to The Aligned Leader.
The 6-month group coaching experience for the woman who is:
juggling the demands of work and family and feeling completely drained and stretched too thin.
unsure what her next career move even looks like — and exhausted from waiting for someone else to give her the green light.
saying yes to every request, but still fading into the background, feeling invisible despite all her effort.
leading a team, yet feeling stuck in “manager mode” without stepping fully into true leadership.
wanting to expand her network and influence, but unsure how or where to begin.
“Marija always offered insightful advice that helped me grow and become more confident.”
“Thanks to Marija’s expert guidance, I’ve not only transformed my approach to achieving my goals but left a noticeable impact on my manager who has witnessed a positive shift in my development.”
“Working with Marija helped me see my transferable skills and opened my mind to new opportunities. This supported me to land my first in-house legal role.”
Now, imagine six months from now…
You know exactly what you stand for as a leader and where you’re headed next.
You have the boundaries and confidence to lead without burning out.
You’re visible and recognised - without overperforming.
You’re leading your team with clarity, presence, and influence - and both you and your team are thriving.
You make intentional career moves that feel aligned with the life you want to live.
This is what happens when you decide to lead yourself from exactly where you are — even if it feels imperfect (that’s actually the point of your leadership journey).

why i created this program
I’ve worked as a lawyer for nine years and in that time, I’ve made more career pivots than some people make in a lifetime.
From a traditional big law firm, to in-house (two different industries), to boutique private practice and of course to creating an online coaching business.
Every move I’ve made has been intentional.
It all started when I got brutally honest with myself about what I wanted next. Not what I should want, not what others told me was possible but what would truly align with my values, my skills, and the life I wanted to create.
When I quit my first legal job, I knew I wanted time to work on what was then just a seed of a business idea. So I set my sights on finding a four-day-a-week in-house role — despite having zero in-house experience and being told by recruiters that I “wasn’t experienced enough.”
That only fuelled me. I made it happen.
My first in-house role in a property development company (advertised as full time), I successfully negotiated a 4 work day role.
I then landed my second in-house role with a fashion company, a dream for someone with a deep interest in the industry. But soon, I realised it wasn’t giving me the leadership experience I craved.
So I moved again. This time, into the role I’m in now — one that gives me autonomy, the freedom to design my role around my strengths, and the opportunity to lead through relationship building and business development.
The point is: none of these opportunities were handed to me.
I didn’t wait to be “ready” or for someone to tell me I was good enough. I self-led. I created them.
Now, as a mum, I’m leading from the messy middle.
From the identity shifts, the imperfect days, and the moments where life feels anything but under control.
And yet, I fully believe in my business and in supporting other lawyers to take leadership of their careers — right now, as they are.
Because you don’t need to wait.
You can lead from exactly where you are, no matter how imperfect it feels.
