#8: Personal Financial Freedom with Jessica Medina

Written By Laura Terrell

Listen here: Personal Financial Freedom with Jessica Medina

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Jessica Medina, who graduated from Columbia Law School in 2004 as a single mom of twins with over $200,000 in student loans, and went straight to work at a BigLaw firm. After eight years in private practice, she switched roles and became Senior Counsel at the Division of Enforcement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. She left that role to work in the financial industry in a different way and is now an Accredited Financial Counselor who teaches other lawyers how to use their money to finance their dream lives.

In today’s conversation, Jessica shares her personal journey and professional insights, offering invaluable guidance for lawyers who have the pressures of BigLaw life, are paying student loans, and generating a high income, but want to achieve financial stability and freedom.
