Ep 66: Advice For 13-17 Year Olds From Criminal Defence Lawyer, Jordana Goldlist

Jordana Goldlist spent the better part of her teenage years in and out of group homes struggling with addiction. Fast forward a couple decades and now Jordana is using her success as a roadmap of inspiration and strategy of how teenagers do not have to follow the same path as her. Her dynamic TEDx talk on “Who Judges The Judge?” is a blueprint of her journey.

In this episode, Jordana and I chat about her journey and really focus on what today’s teenagers are facing and what they can do to get through and see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Jordana has committed to coming on the show to offer her insights both legally and personally once per month. I am excited to have a mind like hers provide immense value to you, our listeners!
