Episode notes

THEN: "Killer Krug" was an attack dog courtroom lawyer who presented as an aggressive male, complete with an intimidating voice that cracked witnesses on the stand. But inside, "Killer Krug" secretly grappled with suppressed gender identity issues dating back to childhood.

NOW: Ellie Krug is a transgender woman who uses who uses her voice – in more ways than one – to teach compassion and empathy.

Join our new host, Jennifer Thibodaux, as she chats with Ellie about the idealism that led her to law school, her crushing schedule as a junior associate and then law firm owner balancing a family. Ellie describes what happens when she realized she could no longer out-work or "out-therapy" her "gut tugs" about being a woman, and made the brave decision to lead an authentic life.

Ellie and Jennifer also talk about Ellie's mission with her company, Human Inspiration Works, and her signature training, Gray Area Thinking, including the surprising results that occur at the end of every training.

Meet Ellie Krug: writer, lawyer, and human. We know that her story will leave you inspired and transformed.
