Thank you for visiting my site. I hope that you will find it useful in your quest for personal and professional success. As an attorney and a mom, I work with lots of women and families who are struggling to improve their lives and the lives of their children. For many, finding a true friend to talk to about both their problems and dreams is not always easy. In my community seminars, I always encourage women to form empowerment circles, small groups of women they can trust and confide. Women report that amazing things start to happen in their lives when they join with others and share their vision for a better career, family life and community.
Putting our trust in someone takes a lot of courage. Most of us have been hurt or betrayed by someone. By sharing some of my own personal experiences and insights learned on my own journey, I will help you as you strive to be your best. Think of me as a key member of your empowerment circle and this site as your trustworthy and reliable partner.
Changing something about ourselves and going to that next level takes a lot of hard work, sacrifices, courage and strength. But when we surround ourselves with good friends, we gain the power to move forward. I know in my own life, staying focused in order to go from a housing project in St. Louis to Harvard Law School to owning my own law firm, Martin & Martin, LLP, and managing my non-profit, the Special Needs Network, took a lot of drive and determination. I had to deal with feelings of fear, hopelessness and isolation in order to finish my education. So I know what overcoming obstacles is all about.
For those women who are unhappy at work or with their existing career, I say do something about it. There is no better time to change than the present and no one capable of making our lives better than ourselves. If something in your personal life that you are concerned about, remember, all problems have solutions and if we are willing to face them, we probably can make it different and better.
On this site, I hope to help you and millions of women overcome personal and professional challenges and not only survive, but thrive! You dont have to be famous, rich or even have the best education. You still have the power to change your life, your career and your entire community. When we live with resolve, hope with our hearts, and work with reckless abandon, we can change our lives, our communities and laugh out loud on our journey to the top.
