In this conversation, we discuss:

• working with load shedding practices in South Africa and how this affects everyday life
• how gender discrimination pushed her into opening her own firm because, as one person told her at the time, no one would hire a female litigator and questioned “what would happen if the kids got sick”
• her path from litigation to mediation to collaborative law
• Being an observer at Collaborative Alliance in Minnesota started by Ron Ousky (ILOW S5, Ep.1)
• Insights and practical suggestions for starting something new
• her complications from hip surgery and how she found many gifts in this injury
• her struggles with, and dream of, building a collaborative community in South Africa
