If you’ve ever wondered about how you can bring all your different personality traits together, at home and at work, then this episode is definitely for you. And that’s because my guest in this show is someone who manages to maintain an authenticity with her family, colleagues and even with her thousands of online followers! Mel Storey-Scott is not only a successful, award-winning corporate lawyer, she’s also the author of the Pearls and Protein blog… and a total fitness buff!
Unsurprisingly, Mel’s picked up the moniker, “The Lean Lawyer”, for managing to combine her successful legal career with her passion for bodybuilding and all things healthy. She’s got a strong social media presence (which is actually where I found her) where she shares her secrets on healthy mind and healthy body.
Give the show a listen to find out how she juggles her career and passions, and why she loves doing it all! And go find her on Snap chat where she is ‘theleanlawyer’ to see just how fun Mel really is!
