I've Learned to Trust Myself
01/17/22 • 60 min
This is a second appearance on the podcast by my friend and client Karen Howley of CRT Legal - a local law firm with a global reach. Karen is a Canadian immigration and real estate lawyer whose business acumen is enviable. I invited her back on because the decisions she has taken and the changes she has implemented in growing her professional business in a traditionally male-dominated field governed by convention are inspirational. It's one of the greatest conversations about business that I've had yet and I am really excited for you to listen.
Key Points:
- The connection between relationship development and business growth
- Hiring staff for personality and training for skill; the pain of an employee mismatch
- Dealing with imposter syndrome
- Intuition in law - as a woman, as an entrepreneur
- Hiring professionals to support your business so you can do what you're good at
Also referenced in this episode:
- Episode 82, Interview with Reena Friedman Watts of Better Call Daddy and MegaWatts Productions
- Episode 80, Ads and PR: What's The Difference and What Does That Mean to You

The Superwoman Effect
This week’s episode is kind of a quick one - just as much for me as it is for you, especially if you have perfectionist tendencies or somewhat of a superwoman identity. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t for a moment doubt that you actually are a superwoman. I have a vague idea of what you do and already I’m impressed. I'd be blown away at what you do if I had a full picture.
When I’m writing and recording this, it’s still pretty fresh and early in 2022. New year. And while there’s still lots of buzz around big plans and playing all out and crushing audacious goals, there’s also an undercurrent of being tired. Just feeling a little fuzzy around the edges. I’ve found it really hard getting back into the swing of things and I love this stuff. I love my clients, I love my work, I love this podcast. But I was still a bit reluctant to fully step back into it.
This episode looks at what creates that feeling and how to avoid it while still feeling like superwoman.
