It's been two years since the first #FEMSQUIRE interview we did with New Jersey family lawyer Diana C. Schimmel, Esq. Back then, we were in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, and she shared with us how she was balancing her time as a lawyer and mom while navigating the challenges of the pandemic. She’s been doing great since then (and better than ever!) In this episode, Diana, a remarkably empowered woman, shares how she's continued to evolve personally and professionally, which has been a long journey of self-discovery. As a partner at Martine, Katz Scanlon & Schimmel, P.A. @mkssfamilylaw, she has found more efficient ways to manage her law firm and to communicate in a way that empowers her clients and makes them feel heard. She's been a busy woman lately, what with being a mom, lawyer, and entrepreneur as well. But she's also been doing all of these things with an incredible amount of focus and dedication. She is all about helping people who are dealing with difficult circumstances find solutions for their problems through the power of law and justice—which is what makes her so passionate about being a lawyer. Listen to Diana's promising vision for her firm, and don't miss the valuable advice she gives on marriage and communication, plus all the other things she's been up to. Conversations with her are always such a treat! Included in this conversation: Her evolution in these two years How her law firm's efficiency has increased The importance of innovation in business How to find balance as a working mom Silver linings of the COVID-19 pandemic Career lessons she has learned Key traits of a family lawyer Letting your work speak for itself Signs a client is not a good fit for you A message for young attorneys Her ideal client Recognizing red flags Her exceptional work style Her career development throughout the years Marriage tips from a divorce lawyer What she loves the most about her work Why you need to trust your law firm partners The vision she has for her firm Her bucket list Find out more about Diana and her law firm here: https://familylawmks.com/diana-c-schimmel-esq/ Follow Diana on Instagram here: @dschimmy https://www.instagram.com/dschimmy Follow me on social media here: Instagram @theprev www.instagram.com/theprev/ Facebook @wakeupcallthepodcast www.facebook.com/wakeupcallthepodcast Twitter @ThePrevite twitter.com/theprevite You can also watch episodes of Wake Up Call on YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCjlkBJChmRfcu4l-kLs2Rwg If you think you would be an awesome guest on Wake Up Call, DM me on Instagram!

I'm proud to introduce you to Michael, a former gang member who turned his life around, and now helps others do the same. His story of redemption is powerful and needs to be shared with the world. He talks about his rough childhood and growing up in a gang-dominated neighborhood, where the only way he had of obtaining respect was through the use of violence and getting imprisoned. He didn't know any other way, and this is how he lived throughout his youth, getting in and out of jail while dealing with the trauma that was inflicted upon him from a young age. While he fought his demons and struggled to find a place for himself in the world, he knew he had to change his ways. He decided to take action and find help in the form of rehabilitation and therapy. Michael never gave up and kept going, one day at a time. With faith and the help of his therapist, he was determined to make himself a better person. Now in his 40s, he has found his purpose in life and uses his platform as a former gang member and prisoner to create a change in the lives of others. He became a social entrepreneur and the founder of Access 2 Excellence, a program that helps formerly incarcerated people reintegrate into society and provides them with education. Michael has broken free from the chains of his troubled past and is now motivating others to do the same. His story proves that there's hope for everyone. It'll inspire you to believe in yourself, to keep fighting for what you want, and to trust that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Included in this conversation: How living in a gang environment impacted his childhood Growing up without a positive male role model How his strong mother influenced him When he was first introduced to gang activity A realistic glimpse of gang life Anecdotes of his time as a gang member The reason he was incarcerated for the first time What it was like to be in prison for most of his youth What really happens inside prison The lowest point in his life The moment his path to redemption started What he did when he got out of prison for the last time Helping ex-prisoners with "Acess 2 Excellence" and "Justice "Reform" How he has positively transformed other people's lives His experience with psychedelic therapy Overcoming his anger and traumas A bit about his love life His purpose in life Reach out to Michael on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/michael.ulibarri.9465 Find Michael on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-ulibarri-754454160/ Follow me on social media here: Instagram @theprev www.instagram.com/theprev/ Facebook @wakeupcallthepodcast www.facebook.com/wakeupcallthepodcast Twitter @ThePrevite twitter.com/theprevite You can also watch episodes of Wake Up Call on YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCjlkBJChmRfcu4l-kLs2Rwg If you think you would be an awesome guest on Wake Up Call, DM me on Instagram!

Success is never a straight line but rather an upward climb, and the story of Alison Leslie exemplifies that. Despite wanting to quit her first year of law school, her confidence and determination never let the words “You can’t” stop her from achieving her goal. So much so that after graduating from Seton Hall University and working at two boutique law firms, she opened her practice at the early age of 28! In this episode, she reflects on her experience entering the legal field and how the values she learned growing up helped her get by. She talks about her experience in law school and Catholic school, exciting anecdotes from her Court TV internship, and the knowledge she has gained from more than 20 years of family law practice. She credits her mother and the nuns at her high school for helping her grow into the confident, strong woman she is today—a great example of what can happen when you are surrounded by strong, driven women and are inspired by them: you develop into one yourself! Included in this conversation: Her educational background Why she picked family law The law school experience What she learned from her internship at Court TV Is it true that if you hated law school, you'll love practice? Her work experience before opening her practice Starting her own law firm at 28 years old The reasons why she loves being a family lawyer How the practice of law has changed over the years Networking before the internet was a boom Constantly evolving as a law firm owner How she runs her firm Her vision for her firm and personal goals The best advice she's ever gotten What Catholic school taught her The women she admires the most Focusing on what really matters in life Learn more about Alison and her practice here: https://www.leslielawfirm.com/ Follow Alison on Instagram here: @divorcenjleslielaw https://www.instagram.com/divorcenjleslielaw/ Find Leslie Law Firm, LLC. on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Divorce-in-New-Jersey-with-Leslie-Law-Firm-LLC-132138573543483/ Find Alison on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alison-leslie-599b775/ Follow me on social media here: Instagram @theprev www.instagram.com/theprev/ Facebook @wakeupcallthepodcast www.facebook.com/wakeupcallthepodcast Twitter @ThePrevite twitter.com/theprevite You can also watch episodes of Wake Up Call on YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCjlkBJChmRfcu4l-kLs2Rwg If you think you would be an awesome guest on Wake Up Call, DM me on Instagram!

It’s always fascinating to hear the stories of those who took big risks in order to pursue a dream and were successful at it - and this was the case with Jonathan Sparks. After successfully practicing business law for years, he felt his calling was something else. Aware that those closest to him would consider him crazy, Jonathan courageously decided to tune out the opinions of others and pursue his longtime passion of becoming a musician. Get hooked on this story as he takes us through his musical journey of self-discovery, beginning when he learned to play his first song on the guitar at the age of 16, all the way to the talented man that he is today and everything else that shaped him in between. Jonathan is living the best of both worlds and has met plenty of supportive people along the way. His focus now is creating music while he continues to practice business law and manage his firm, Sparks Law. He’s also a best-selling author and has a podcast named Success, Decisions, & Rock N' Roll. There's no denying that his authenticity has gotten him a long way, and this is just the beginning. Included in this conversation: How he ended up in business law Shedding the baggage of his past The time when those closest to him were not supportive of his dream His beginnings in the music industry The struggle of being a musician Letting go of the need for approval His personal evolution How he got back into music after years of not playing Differences between the law industry and music industry Dating advice he received from David Neagle Finding a partner who supports him Understanding that prioritizing yourself is not being narcissistic His dietary habits Why it's important to follow your dreams Where he is now Check out Jonathan's newest single, Real Human Being, here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/jonathansparks/real-human-being Check out his podcast, Success, Decisions, & Rock N' Roll, here: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/success-decisions-rock-n-roll/id1610155508 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0SxUXesq1wla9yIpZiSiRc?si=xqvnUnAERk-A09FfsE5VqQ Follow Jonathan on Instagram here: @jonathansparksmusic https://www.instagram.com/jonathansparksmusic/ Subscribe to his YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC13F93kBttc0hE2KhbShtPg Find out more about Sparks Law here: https://sparkslawpractice.com/ Follow me on social media here: Instagram @theprev www.instagram.com/theprev/ Facebook @wakeupcallthepodcast www.facebook.com/wakeupcallthepodcast Twitter @ThePrevite twitter.com/theprevite You can also watch episodes of Wake Up Call on YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCjlkBJChmRfcu4l-kLs2Rwg If you think you would be an awesome guest on Wake Up Call, DM me on Instagram!

Businesswoman and former Emmy-nominated TV Producer Jessica Klingbaum isn't afraid to tell it like it is. She has a very impressive resume working in the media industry, having run live news shows for Fox News and CBS News. Characterized by her energetic personality, Jessica gives us a real and honest insight into the media industry, while sharing some jaw-dropping stories of her own. She had an amazing time for most of her career as a TV producer, but she isn't the type to stay stuck in a place for too long if she isn't feeling happy or fulfilled anymore (kudos to her!), so after a successful 22-year career, she made the decision to leave and launched two businesses, exEXPERTS and Be Hip and Healthy. She now focuses on helping other women to survive and thrive after divorce, having gone through it herself — which is why she's able to connect so well with her audience. Her career evolution is awe-inspiring and is an excellent example of how taking risks, even if you're full of uncertainty, can have such great outcomes. Despite all that she has accomplished, Jessica still has big dreams to come true and it's motivating to see how vividly she's working to achieve them.
