b"If there's a lawyer who knows how to favorably ride out the storm, that's Elise Buie. After completely abandoning life as she knew it during Hurricane Katrina, the New Orleans-raised attorney had to relocate more than once with her children, all while homeschooling, being a stay-at-home mom, and going through a divorce at the time. From rural Georgia, then to Minnesota, and finally, to the Pacific Northwest, she's had to learn to adapt and get used to life outside of her beloved New Orleans. And even though it was tough (the food, Mardi Gras, hospitality!), she's doing so wonderfully. She is now happily married and gets to enjoy her blended family thanks to the attention she pays to her work-life balance. But her personal life isn't the only thing that's successfully adapted to these rapidly changing times. Her law firm, Elise Buie Family Law, has exceptionally grown these past couple of years amid the pandemic. Time will fly as you bask into Elise's positive energy while she talks about reinventing her life and career, and the hard things she's had to endure in life, including the sequel of Hurricane Katrina, losing a family treasure, and her divorce story. This episode is definitely a mood booster and a reminder that every cloud has a silver lining.\\n\\nIncluded in this conversation:\\nThe thrilling experience of growing up in New Orleans\\nLiving through Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath\\nThe one thing she wishes she had taken with her before evacuating\\nHer love for Southern cuisine\\nRelocating to places with entirely different cultures\\nWhy she chose not to return to live in New Orleans for the best\\nWhy she made the decision to divorce the person she was financially reliant on\\nHer divorce story\\nReintegrating herself into the workforce after several years as a stay-at-home mom\\nThe most important skill a divorce attorney should have\\nThe way family law relates to psychology\\nFinding love again and remarrying\\nThe reason why her husband's family and hers blended so well\\nPutting your children first\\nHer personal growth throughout the years\\nBeing able to control your negative thoughts\\nHow she successfully co-parents\\nThe beginning of her booming law firm\\n\\nListen to Elise's podcasts (Parenting Buie and Maximum Mom) here: https://elisebuiefamilylaw.com/resources/podcasts/\\nLearn more about Elise's law firm here: https://elisebuiefamilylaw.com/\\nFollow Elise on Instagram here: @elisebuie https://www.instagram.com/elisebuie/\\nFollow Elise Buie Family Law here: @elisebuiefamilylawgroup https://www.instagram.com/elisebuiefamilylawgroup/\\nFind her on Facebook: @elisebuiefamilylaw https://www.facebook.com/elisebuiefamilylaw\\nFollow me on social media here:\\nInstagram @theprev https://www.instagram.com/theprev/\\nFacebook @wakeupcallthepodcast https://www.facebook.com/wakeupcallthepodcast\\nTwitter @ThePrevite https://twitter.com/theprevite\\nYou can also watch episodes of Wake Up Call on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjlkBJChmRfcu4l-kLs2Rwg\\nIf you think you would be an awesome guest on Wake Up Call, DM me on Instagram!"
