When we’re surrounded by negativity and scarcity it becomes extremely difficult to see past these circumstances and dream bigger. And if you can find a way to fight against these odds, then you have the power to create the life you’ve always wanted for yourself. But you need to develop that inner self belief that you CAN do it and you ARE worthy of receiving anything despite the adversities you face and the circumstances that surround you. My guest today, Kristal Naividi, has been able to take herself from this place of scarcity and lack of opportunities to create an incredible life for herself. Kristal had the odds against her to become a lawyer - born to a teenage mother, growing up in public housing, family violence, mental illness and surrounded by the belief that University was something “other people” did. Kristal is now the owner of the law firm, Coastal Lawyers and she shares her inspiring back story of the challenges, struggles and fears she faced in pursuing her career as a lawyer and how she embodied self-belief to break the cycle of generational trauma and poverty. In this episode, we cover: - The power of taking control of your thoughts to create positive change in your life - How to step out of a victim mindset into one of growth to achieve success - Finding role models and surrounding yourself with like-minded people - Shifting your energy for manifestation through the power of positive affirmations - Finding your why in your business to keep you motivated for the long run - Where to find support networks outside of your own family - Learning to set boundaries when you are a people pleaser  - Switching off and blocking time out for self-care to create space for creativity  - Using your failures to drive self-belief - Releasing control and trusting your intuition to set you on the right path - Setting a morning routine to boost your productivity for the day   Are you enjoying the podcast?

158. Breaking the Cycle of Generational Trauma and Poverty with Kristal Naividi

This week on the show I welcomed a very special guest, Kristal Naividi, Founder of Coastal Lawyers. Kirstal has an incredible and inspiring story for anyone looking to live their best life. Having grown up in public housing, made her way through university while working full time as a legal secretary and ultimately starting her own practice with three kids and a husband who had just been diagnosed with testicular cancer, Kirstal is a massive inspiration.  On the show we discussed her journey to become a lawyer from such a tough upbringing, the impetus to start her own firm and how she has managed to make it a success so rapidly. Kirstal shares very openly about the hurdles and how she worked to overcome them in her own, incredible way.  Upbeat, infectiously positive and incredibly open Kristal has a unique story that certainly makes me question the things I complain about!

Kristal Naividi - Founder of Coastal Lawyers

In this week’s episode of the ‘Happy Lawyer Happy Life Podcast,’ I had the pleasure of interviewing solicitor Kristal Naividi. Kristal is someone who I hadn’t had the opportunity to properly chat to prior to recording together, and really embodies what is so special about this podcast. Kristal’s sense of humour, kindness, resilience and ability to focus on the bigger picture are things that have really stood out for me – as well as her spectacular ability to embrace the chaos life brings! Kristal has not followed a conventional path to law. In fact, her first experiences with the legal system came as a part of growing up in public housing across the road from the Long Bay Jail in Eastern Sydney! While her journey into law was non-linear, Kristal now runs her own firm – Coastal Lawyers – and is doing her Masters. In fact, Kristal was drawn to criminal law and family law as her lived experience growing up has given her a lot of insight into how people end up where they are. As a result, she can provide an unusual level of empathy and perspective for her clients. Beginning as a legal secretary after seeing studying law at university as unattainable, Kristal has since become a qualified lawyer, worked for 12 years with the DPP (Director of Public Prosecutions) in difficult, varied cases across NSW. However, in 2020, she started finding the build-up of vicarious trauma harder to leave at work – so Kristal decided she wanted to start something new. Kristal started her law firm ‘Coastal Lawyers’ last year, 6 weeks before the Covid-19 lockdown hit – with three boys under 6 at home! Despite this, Kristal has continued to grow her business, run around with her boys, and work in a space that lets her passion for hearing the stories of others really shine. Kristal’s superpower is her ability to view speed-bumps in life as learning experiences, and to see the bright side of life in even the most difficult cases. Her story is a great reminder to be kind, to listen, to ride the wave, and to remember that even in the toughest days in #lawland, the sun will rise the next day. In this interview, Kristal and I also chatted about-  Kristal’s lockdown tips – lower your expectations, prioritize, and keep your routine! Kindness is not weakness. What would Kristal be in an alternate life? A singer or a psychologist! Growing up and living on the Central Coast, how her upbringing shaped her career. Her non-linear path into law. Benefits and difficulties in working for the DDP. Her start-up business journey through Covid. A day in the life; Kristal’s tips for lawyering as a mum. Clients, and knowing when to say no! The importance of teams and communities. Non-lawyer life – the chaos of a house of boys, and how this helped her law firm! Stressors in life and law, and how she manages these. Mental health issues and the law, and the impact this has. Her influences in law, and where she’d like to be in 10 years. The benefits of having her own firm – flexibility, and what works best for her priorities. Kristal’s thoughts on family law, and the differences between family and criminal law. Her ‘magic wand’ wishes, and her favourite guilty pleasure TV show. Kristal’s happiness tip!
