If Becoming a Lawyer Has Ever Crossed Your Mind, Watch This (My Journey)

If Becoming a Lawyer Has Ever Crossed Your Mind, Watch This.

In this solo episode of ‪@empoweredwithgina‬ attorney and law firm founder Gina Zapanta speaks directly to women who feel they’re at a crossroads — women who sense there is more for them, especially those who have ever considered law school or dreamed of becoming a lawyer.

Gina breaks down the truth about what a legal career really looks like, dismantling the myths made popular by TV and culture. She reminds aspiring attorneys that law is one of the most expansive and powerful professional paths available, opening doors to entrepreneurship, business ownership, policy, entertainment, sports, fashion, international work, and so much more.

She offers full permission for women to pursue this path, emphasizing that capability is not the question — commitment is. Gina also challenges long-held beliefs about “dream schools,” explaining why the law school you attend matters far less than discipline, consistency, and securing the best financial package.

This episode is a call to action for any woman who has felt the tug toward law but questioned whether she’s allowed, prepared, or worthy. Gina makes it clear: if the desire is in you, the path is for you.

Topics covered:
How to know when you're meant for something more
Why law school is more accessible than most women realize
The real power and flexibility of a law degree
The myth of the “dream law school”
How to choose the right school (and why cost matters)
