Wendi Weiner – The journey From a Lucrative Career as a Lawyer to Becoming The Writing Guru

March 24, 2021 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

Wendi Weiner on She's Got Moxie

Wendi Weiner was well established as an attorney earning a significant income but her true passion was writing. Her parents even nick-named her, “The Writing Guru.” She started a side hustle of writing even though she was putting in 50-60 hours a week as a lawyer. It turned out to be a very good decision.

Fast forward to today: Wendi has been featured in over 75 media outlets — from CNBC to CNN and The Huffington Post — as a leading authority in personal branding, social storytelling, career strategy, and the job search process. Her business, The Writing Guru, provides corporate branding services to Fortune 25 companies and she regularly gives talks on topics ranging from personal branding to resume writing, reputation management, and social networking. She believes that if we want to have our own business doing something we love, we have to change our mindset about time. We don’t work nine to five. We work whenever.

In today’s episode, Wendi shares how to balance your full-time job with your side hustle, the secret to getting media coverage, and how to become a household name.

“I’ve learned probably in the last five years that some things I just know, and then, I’m not going to compromise. I’m not going to change my mind. Most of the time I am very open but when my intuition is really kicking it hard, I’m sticking with it.” – Stacy Phillips

Show Notes:

  • How “fractures” (recessions and elections) in society affect couples and their relationships.
  • Details about her most difficult case to date. (It left me literally speechless – you hear a moment of silence during the podcast.)
  • Her dial-it-down strategies.
  • The ONE thing she calls upon for EVERY decision.
  • How to make social change as a lawyer.
  • Her stand on domestic violence and her take-charge actions steps to protect victims. Find out what the “juice” (no pun intended) was that got the bill passed.
