The Legal Social Club Rachael Bell

Well well well...we survived the LPC, the second year of the LLB and one of us got a TC! Let spill the end-of-season tea. Talking challenges of the academic year, legal industry in general, achievements, life updates, and career changer gripes! A new section named the legal beef too.....we also spill about the next season. 

We are joined by the incredible, vibrant, and lovely Blessing Mukosha, future barrister, content creator for @blessingatthebar and No Ghostwriter, and all-round superstar! We chat all things law, being called to the bar, Blessing's future plans and how she plans to tackle her career in law! This is definitely not one to miss.

We are joined by the fabulous Chrissie Wolfe to talk about Dubai (from Dubai), Irwin Mitchell, what Chrissie misses about Irwin Mitchell...coming back to the UK, her next career steps, and the favourite 3 outfits she has ever worn! Then as Chrissie tells her story we learn about her journey from homeschool to top-secret new ventures. As well as this we heard some amazing stories and how Chrissie's youtube channel started. We absolutely loved it and we hope you do too. Thankyou Chrissie!

Have you missed us? Sorry for the delay y'all! Are you ready for the answer to these crucial questions in today's title? Lucie shares a truly astounding journey with us. We love an unconventional law route, and we think you will too. We also talk about star signs, the lockdown, Buddhism, spirituality, and last but not least as the stories are hilarious...old dating stories. Huge apologies for the sound, the universe was working against us in terms of connectivity! The '90s are back right? Good job as Jordan had to dial in at one point! Bear with us because as this episode continues the sound improves. Thank you so much Lucie for joining us, we loved it!

Simranjeet Kaur Mann is a trainee solicitor at Womble Bond Dickinson, also a practicing Sikh, Youtube content creator, a vlogger for LawCareersNet, and an advocate for diversity and inclusion in law! Impressive right? It sure is, but was the journey straightforward? No, it sure wasn't, so grab a cuppa or get through that run with a sprinkling of inspiration as we hear a different path into law.  Does a vacation scheme always mean a training contract? Hear the story of a vacation scheme that bucked the trend and led to a change of direction.  We also talk about future plans and dreams, casual discrimination in the workplace, and explore how religion has contributed to her journey through law study to a training contract. Let's get social on the LSC with Simranjeet! 

Inspirational all-round superwoman and neurodivergent legal queen Jodie joins us for an hour to talk about favourite cocktails, ADHD journey, law journey, and the many wonderful things happening at Thrive Law.  Did you know Jodie is a teacher on the Legal Practice Course (LPC), no neither did we! We also talked about Jodie as a Doctor (alternative careers to law), planned holidays, the excitement of criminal law, and of course... The important work Jodie is doing to be transparent in our sector on mental health, in and out of the workplace. This is a truly inspiring episode...enjoy!
