Jessica Shraybman is the Founder and Managing Partner at Shraybman Law, where she supports entrepreneurs and creatives with business and intellectual property legal counsel. She joins Access Your Leadership for a truly raw, powerful, and deeply reflective conversation about personal transformation, self-leadership, and redefining success on your own terms. Jessica shares how a major business acquisition—and its evolution—catalyzed a total deconstruction of her law firm, her professional identity, and the stories she once held about herself as a leader. From navigating the complex emotions of perceived failure to embracing motherhood, solitude, and starting over, Jessica opens up about the importance of clarity, resilience, and learning to lead herself first.
What does it look like to rebuild after everything falls apart? How do you lead when the person you most need to lead is yourself? What does real courage look like when you're facing uncertainty—and still moving forward? Why is humility one of the most underrated leadership superpowers? How can embracing discomfort and obstacles actually be the path to your next big breakthrough? Jessica’s story is one of transformation, radical self-honesty, and the power of choosing growth over comfort. Whether you’re a founder, a parent, or simply someone at a crossroads, this episode is a moving reminder that real leadership starts within.
