Send us your thoughts! Welcome back to Let’s Talk Paralegal ! I’m your host, Eda Rosa, and today we’re diving into a conversation that sparked a lot of engagement—one of our highest-ranking LinkedIn posts to date. It all started with a comment left on our YouTube channel, a comment that really got me thinking. The comment suggested that being a paralegal isn’t a real career. That it’s just assisting attorneys with time-consuming tasks and that legal professions, in general, are becoming a “side gig” because of advancements in technology. Now, if you’ve been in the legal industry for even a day, you probably already know how inaccurate that is. But let’s break it down and set the record straight. This episode... (derived from our Linkedin post in February 2025) https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7292561832051961856/ Hey guys it’s your girl Eda!

Authenticity Over Traditional Professionalism with Eda Rosa 12:09

Send us your thoughts! In this episode of the Let’s Talk Paralegal Podcast , I share a pivotal moment in my career that redefined how I view professionalism. A few years ago, I gave a presentation on “professionalism” that didn’t go as planned. Looking back, I realized the disconnect was because I wasn’t being authentic—not with myself or the audience. Join me as I discuss why traditional views of professionalism, like following rigid rules and wearing the “right” clothes, miss the mark. True professionalism, in my view, is about showing up as the best version of yourself—comfortable, confident, and uniquely you. This episode dives into how authenticity can transform the way we approach our work, relationships, and even our personal growth. Have you ever struggled with authenticity in your professional life? Let’s talk about it and redefine professionalism together! Hey guys it’s your girl Eda!
