Description

Sigalle is such a light. I was introduced to her a few years ago by David Sherman, who runs LawLine, and met Sigalle at an event. We’ve stayed in touch, and she reached out to me in the fall to talk about her recent experience with the seizure. I asked her if she’d like to come onto the podcast to talk about it, and she agreed. There are a couple of things I took away from my conversation with Sigalle. The first is the connection between mind and body: How Sigalle’s effort to give 100% in both her work and personal life led to her being overworked and unhappy, which eventually culminated in her seizure. I also learned how Sigalle did not fit into her parents’ rigid ideas about success and her path in life. It took a long time to realize that she wanted to go to law school or receive any higher education, and even longer to find her true path. Finally, I learned how after her seizure, Sigalle took stock of what was important in her life. She’s realized how important it is to share her experiences and how she feels. She started living life for herself instead of for professional success. I gained a lot from our conversation and I hope you can too.
