I love what I do. This is all I’ve ever wanted to do since, actually, junior high, believe it or not. I was probably the only kid in junior high walking around saying she wanted to be a divorce attorney, but I love it because, first of all, you’re helping people. Obviously that’s something that means a lot to me, helping children in these situations and being a voice of reason to parents that’re just going through just such turmoil. And the other thing that’s really interesting is I deal with all sorts of people, so I learn different industries all the time. I always say I can join any conversation for a good sentence or two, because I really have learned. I’ve learned about media. I’ve learned about sports. I’ve learned about entertainment. I’ve learned about hedge funds. We do a lot of Wall Street divorces. It’s just so interesting to learn everybody’s different businesses, and it also gives you a lot of cocktail conversation.
