If there's a lawyer who knows how to favorably ride out the storm, that's Elise Buie. After completely abandoning life as she knew it during Hurricane Katrina, the New Orleans-raised attorney had to relocate more than once with her children, all while homeschooling, being a stay-at-home mom, and going through a divorce at the time. From rural Georgia, then to Minnesota, and finally, to the Pacific Northwest, she's had to learn to adapt and get used to life outside of her beloved New Orleans. And even though it was tough (the food, Mardi Gras, hospitality!), she's doing so wonderfully. She is now happily married and gets to enjoy her blended family thanks to the attention she pays to her work-life balance. But her personal life isn't the only thing that's successfully adapted to these rapidly changing times. Her law firm, Elise Buie Family Law, has exceptionally grown these past couple of years amid the pandemic. Time will fly as you bask into Elise's positive energy while she talks about reinventing her life and career, and the hard things she's had to endure in life, including the sequel of Hurricane Katrina, losing a family treasure, and her divorce story. This episode is definitely a mood booster and a reminder that every cloud has a silver lining.
