Episode 17 - Breaking Cultural Expectations: Lisa’s Journey Through Law, Motherhood & Redefining Success
🌟 Episode Snapshot
In this episode, Lisa—an employment lawyer navigating the high-pressure world of corporate law—opens up about what it means to rise as the first in her migrant family to enter a major corporate profession. From cultural expectations to career progression to raising young children while holding a demanding role, Lisa shares the challenges, courage, and deep personal work that have shaped her journey.
She reflects on the cultural values she was raised with—such as saying yes to every opportunity and maintaining a submissive approach—and how she learned to redefine these expectations to create a more balanced, empowered, and authentic life. Lisa talks candidly about boundaries, identity, motherhood, and how navigating two cultures has shaped her view of leadership, equality, and mental well-being.
Her story is a powerful reminder that success isn’t just about breaking glass ceilings—it’s also about rewriting the unspoken rules at home, communicating your needs, and giving yourself permission to grow.
