Redefining Success and Alignment in Law

Arivee Vargas is a first-generation Latina lawyer who went from
Big Law litigation to in-house corporate leadership, all before
pivoting to become an author, executive coach, and speaker. She
shares the raw story of her identity crisis after having her
first child and how that led her to develop the framework for her
book, Your Time to Rise, focusing on aligning your career with
your deepest values. This conversation is essential for any
high-achieving lawyer ready to stop checking boxes and start
building a life of true purpose.



LAWYER SIDE HUSTLES


Arivee Vargas has successfully layered multiple non-traditional
ventures alongside her demanding corporate career, demonstrating
how a side hustle can evolve into a full-time business. While
working full-time in high-level corporate roles, she became a
certified coach and simultaneously cultivated her writing and
speaking business. Her specific "hustle" involved writing her
book, Your Time to Rise, which was written while she was still
fully employed. She also established The Humble Rising podcast in
2021 as a platform to test and experiment with her ideas and
voice before making the full-time jump.
“I started to realize, oh, I love coaching. I love, you know,
doing this type of work,” Arivee Vargas shares in Episode 214 of
You Are a Lawyer.

Her current full-time business is built around executive
coaching, speaking, and authoring, all centered on the theme of
alignment, the process of ensuring what clients truly believe
inside matches what they pursue on the outside. Arivee's focus
with her clients is on "transformation from the inside out,"
working primarily with high-achieving lawyers and leaders who are
looking for executive-level life coaching to navigate a career
pivot and better align their professional achievements with their
personal happiness.
