How to Unlock Your Full Potential as a Lawyer feat. Yeve Chitiga

You Are A Lawyer: Take Risks and Change Careers in Law

Yeve Chitiga, a lawyer turned executive coach, is on a mission to help attorneys move past fear, doubt, and uncertainty to create careers that actually excite them. After a decade of practicing law, Yeve realized that so many lawyers felt stuck, uninspired, or unsure of their next steps—so she created Yevezo Coaching & Consulting to help them find clarity, confidence, and joy in their work. In this episode, we dive into the power of coaching, how lawyers can embrace career transitions, and why asking yourself what do I really want? is the first step toward transformation.

Lawyer Side Hustles

Yeve isn’t just a lawyer and a coach—she’s also a published author and entrepreneur who understands firsthand how side hustles can lead to larger opportunities. During the pandemic, she wrote a children’s book and built a media company to market it, an experience that deepened her understanding of branding, business development, and the power of storytelling.

“Being an entrepreneur is like bringing something into the world that didn’t exist before. It’s another way of creating, just like coaching,” shares Yeve Chitiga in Episode 181 of You Are a Lawyer.

Beyond her own creative ventures, Yeve works with clients who are exploring passion projects, launching businesses, or testing new career paths through side hustles. She believes that having a side hustle isn’t just about making extra income—it’s about giving yourself permission to explore new interests and develop new skills. Whether a lawyer wants to start a consulting practice, write a book, or build a personal brand, Yeve helps them develop strategic plans to integrate their legal expertise with their entrepreneurial vision. She emphasizes that these projects don’t have to be all-or-nothing; they can be stepping stones to even greater opportunities down the line.
