13. My Bestie Interviews Me & The Importance of Friendship in Your Self-Development Journey

On this week’s episode of Confidence Counsel, I am flipping the mic and having my best friend, Katie Mack, join the show to interview me!  Katie asks me all about how I grew up, my journey to becoming an attorney, how I met my husband, what led to my spiritual awakening/personal development journey, why I started the podcast, my goals for the future and so much more.  We also dive into the importance of FRIENDSHIP and surrounding yourself with a tribe of people who support you, grow with you, and cheer you on. This is as real and unscripted as it gets with a lot of funny stories along the way. 02:05 Katie introduces herself and provides overview of interview03:40 The early years10:30 How our friendship started13:30 A memory of where my leadership qualities began to emerge15:30 The embarassing story behind why I pursued a career in law23:30 How I met my husband29:30 Imposter syndrome in law school 33:00 I describe how I manifested my career 40:05 The transition into motherhood 42:15 How my spiritual/personal development journey began45:20 Personal and professional goals and dreams53:45 What has surprised me about myself recently59:00 I describe my biggest influence 1:00:00 The importance of friendship 1:04:15 How I maintain friendships during this season of life 1:07:00 Where to find your tribe <br/>Motherhood Poem Book mentioned: My Afterall by Jessica UrlichsConnect with MonicaIG: @confidence.counsel Website: www.monicaburkoth.com Email: confidencecounselpodcast@gmail.com
