Making a Big Law Escape Plan with Jessica Medina
Manage episode 303317218 series 2471867
No one should be forced to keep a job where burnout, stress, and overwork have become the norm. Jessica Medina is a lawyer and Accredited Financial Counselor who helps her clients “build the money habits they need to actually build wealth.”
Listen in as Jessica shares her own experience leaving a series of prestigious roles in Big Law that she felt trapped in, and her journey to becoming an advocate for other professionals looking to do the same.
In today’s episode, you'll find out:
- Why Jessica was drawn to law and how it turned into a career path
- Jessica’s experience working long hours in Big Law while being the mother of two small kids
- How the Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE) movement changed everything
- How Jessica helps others with FIRE principles into her current work as a counselor
- Where Jessica’s career trajectory would have gone if she had access to PSLF
- Why Jessica decided to become a financial counselor instead of a financial planner
- Jessica’s advice to risk-averse people (like herself at one point) who want to take the necessary risks to retire early
