We are back with a guest this week on the 'Mondays with Midja' podcast. In today's episode I sit down with Adele Anthony, founder, director, and principal lawyer of Your Legacy Lawyer.

Adele and I discuss:

• Honing in on what you want to do and becoming great at it
• Not getting distracted and blinded by shiny objects and ignoring red flags
• Building the capabilities of your team and empowering them to be the best they can be and do the best work they can do
• Extending trust to your team
• And, of course, some dating advice; find someone who lets you be you and don't settle for less!

Happy listening and THANK GOD IT'S MONDAY

ABOUT OUR GUEST - Adele Anthony

I am the Principal Lawyer, Founder and Director of Your Legacy Lawyer, a Queensland-based mobile/virtual estate planning practice that I founded at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. I live on the beautiful Gold Coast with my partner, Matthew.

I started in the legal industry over 30 years ago as a law clerk/paralegal and returned to study to qualify as a Solicitor in my early 40s.

I have a true appreciation for business not only from my studies, but also from many years running the very successful and multi-award-winning Fernwood Women’s Health Club in Toowoomba, Queensland, as well as a Healthy Habits franchise in Tweed City Shopping Centre. It was when I sold these businesses that I decided to return to university study. I think this gives me a well-rounded appreciation for the modern world of people, wealth and estate law.

I see clients on the Gold Coast, in Brisbane, in Toowoomba and everywhere else in between. I employ an amazing lady lawyer to assist me who also lives on the Gold Coast.

My aim is to provide Queenslanders with accessible and cost-effective legal solutions giving them peace of mind knowing their assets, future and loved ones are protected. I don’t have a fancy office. I work from home. I don’t work Monday to Friday, 9-5. I see clients when and where it is convenient for them.

I have a Bachelor of Laws (First Class Honours) and a Bachelor of Business (Marketing) from Griffith University, a Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice from Australian National University, and a Master of Law (Applied) majoring in Wills and Estates.

My life outside law is busy as well. I have three adult children, two adult step-daughters, six grandchildren ranging in age from 3 months to 18 years old and three doggies.
