Mondays With Midja S2 E4: When the Career Plan Changes with Jessica Carroll

In this episode of Mondays with Midja, I sit down with Jessica Carroll, founder of The Brisbane Lawyer and TBL Legal Solutions, to talk about what happens when the career path you thought you were meant to follow starts pulling you somewhere else. Jess began her career like many lawyers do, with a pretty clear picture of what success looked like: work hard, climb the ladder and eventually make partner. But a series of what she now calls “sliding door moments” took her from private practice, into business, then in-house, and eventually into building a legal practice and career entirely of her own design. We talk about taking opportunities before you know exactly where they’ll lead, building a personal brand, putting yourself out there when it feels a little cringe, and why you don’t need hundreds of people paying attention to what you’re doing, sometimes you just need the right one. It’s a conversation about ambition, career pivots, personal brand, building something of your own and figuring out what success actually means to you when the traditional path no longer feels like the only option. If you’ve ever looked at the career path in front of you and wondered whether there might be another way to do it, this one is for you.
