Journey of a legal mum introduction

[Dorothy Nsumbu]

Hi everyone! Beginning journey to securing a training contract this year. Fear and imposter syndrome has kept me out of cycles, but i hoping to overcome that and get a move on.

I have also had 3 kids (5,3,1) since completing my LPC in 2019 so time is very limited. Despite that, i would love to engage with other mums trying to secure a TC and build my confidence and knowledge in going through the process.

Looking forward to securing that TC and then being able to give back to my other legal mums.

Welcome to TCLA!

Wishing you the best of luck with applications this cycle! Please don't let imposter syndrome hold you back - you absolutely deserve to be here, and so many aspiring solicitors feel the same way.

Balancing applications alongside raising three young children is incredibly impressive, and it is a real testament to your determination that you are starting this journey now. I hope you are able to connect with other legal mums in the community who understand the unique challenges of juggling family life with applications.
