In this episode of the podcast, Arivee sits down with Yeve Chitiga, a lawyer and executive coach to women lawyers. Over the last 18 years, through her internal audit and legal experience, Yeve has honed a unique ability to discover what is hidden beneath the surface and hear the unspoken. She began her professional career in banking working for international institutions in the U.S. and in the United Kingdom. As an attorney, Yeve rose through the ranks to Counsel at the law firm of WilmerHale before pivoting to a late stage financial technology startup.

Yeve is also a workshop facilitator, moderator and experienced speaker with a gift for captivating audiences. Through her blend of wit and warmth she delivers thought-provoking speeches that resonate with diverse audiences. Her gift for storytelling extends into literature as a published children's book author. She has also been featured in Forbes as a Black woman redefining entrepreneurship.

In this conversation, Yeve shares her personal journey from the legal profession to becoming a coach, emphasizing the unique challenges faced by women in law. Arivee and Yeve discuss the societal and professional conditioning that influences women's career choices and self-worth, and the importance of unlearning these limiting beliefs.

The conversation delves into strategies for navigating career transitions, finding fulfillment, and the concept of self-worth as an innate quality rather than one tied to achievements. They also discuss motherhood in the context of being a high achiever as a lawyer, the attachment to parts of our identities, and what enoughness means for high-achievers where nothing feels like it's ever good enough.

This episode is an exploration of personal growth and the power of agency in shaping your career and life.
