38:49Now PlayingWhat happens when the little girl who felt voiceless in the middle of her parents' divorce grows up to spend 20 years fighting for children who have no one else in their corner? For Liza Camellerie, that's not a hypothetical. That's her life.
Liza is a family law attorney and one of New York's leading practitioners in child abuse and neglect matters. She started her career at 24 years old in the South Bronx, became an abuse specialist handling fatalities and the most harrowing cases in the New York court system, and eventually landed in private practice — thanks to a chance run-in on a treadmill at Barry's Bootcamp. You truly cannot make this stuff up.
In this episode Liza opens up about growing up in an acrimonious divorce in the late 80s when almost no one had divorced parents, how that experience quietly shaped her entire career path, what it's really like to carry secondary trauma from 20 years of child abuse cases, why she thinks the family court system has deep racial and economic issues that don't get talked about enough, her unfiltered advice to young attorneys about choosing to be a problem solver versus a fighter, life as a single mom by choice raising a five year old while running a full time practice, and why she's simultaneously binge watching Call the Midwife and Walking Dead spinoffs and has zero apologies about it.
This one goes deep. It's honest, raw, and one of the most human conversations we've had on the show.
