From Hostage To Hero

If you've ever wondered (because why wouldn't you?!) the real reason behind my love affair with swearing… Then you're in for a treat. I don't want to spoil the episode for you, so go ahead and tune in. That’s an order from your Finnish mama.😉   Xo, Sari   Quote: “Most of humanity is fucking asleep. We compare ourselves to other people, to other trial lawyers in this industry, and then we conform to what we see. Then we start living lives that are boring and purposeless. I want to change the world. And in order to do that, I need your help. And in order for you to change the world, you need to disrupt shit. That means bucking the system. That means taking big risks. That means going all in with storytelling, feeling your feelings, getting emotional, being totally and completely authentically you.”   * * * * FREE H2H TRAINING * * * *  THREE POWERFUL STRATEGIES TO HELP READ A JUROR’S MIND Understand what the jury is thinking, so you can gain the confidence to trust them - and yourself - in the courtroom.

In this episode, we're diving deep into plaintiff trial strategies that'll encourage you to rethink how you present your case. I'll teach you what frontloading the danger means, and the importance of the order in which you present information to jurors that can make or break your case.   Xo, Sari   ➡️Listen on Spotify ➡️Listen on Apple ➡️Listen on YouTube   Quote: "Stop telling the jurors what happened and then pointing out all the things the defendant did wrong and all the ways this can have been avoided, because it's too fucking late. Instead, if you want to reverse this 'shit happens' defense, start by saying what the danger is, then how it can be avoided."   * * * * FREE H2H TRAINING * * * *  THREE POWERFUL STRATEGIES TO HELP READ A JUROR’S MIND Understand what the jury is thinking, so you can gain the confidence to trust them - and yourself - in the courtroom.

What's YOUR dream? For ME, my dream is to change the way law is practiced. And I'm doing it. But I'm not doing it ALONE. The H2H Crew, my rock through surviving cancer (You know who you are, and I love you! 🥹), has proven that I don't have to do things alone. And together, we are changing the game for lawyers across America – from how voir dire is practiced to how lawyers are living their day-to-day lives. It’s fucking incredible, really. If anyone deserves to chase their dreams, it's YOU. The saboteur can throw all the arguments it wants, but YOU get to have whatever the hell you want. So push through, chase your dreams, and discover your true meaning of fulfillment. And I’m here to guide you, every step of the way. I swear. Xo, Sari   Quote: “If you're a trial lawyer, it's a fucking sacrifice. You are fucking sacrificing more than a lot of people in this world to do the job that you do. You are the healers. You're going to save the world. I firmly believe it. So if you are not allowed to chase your dream, then who the fuck is? You are literally keeping the rest of us safe. You're the only thing between us and corporate greed. You are the last resistance. I believe it wholeheartedly. This isn't something I'm just trying to make you feel good about yourself. That is what you do. And I, for one, want you to be happy and fulfilled and doing all of the amazing stuff because you worked for it, and you sacrifice so much for the rest of us.”   * * * * FREE H2H TRAINING * * * *  THREE POWERFUL STRATEGIES TO HELP READ A JUROR’S MIND Understand what the jury is thinking, so you can gain the confidence to trust them - and yourself - in the courtroom.

Welcome to today's podcast episode — a VIP backstage pass to the covert world of nonverbal influence in the courtroom. I know you're searching for answers, eager to master the art of nonverbal communication, and your Finnish mama is here to deliver. But not in the way you expect. 😜 I'm giving you the lowdown on eye contact, voice, and body language, under ONE condition —  promise me you'll use these steps to be strategic, purposeful, and to ethically enhance the work you're already doing, not to manipulate or replace it. Alright, I’ll leave ya to it.    Xo, Sari   Quote: “How do we communicate to the jury that this person is an outlier, and that they should ignore them? We can teach the jury to ignore them. We never look at them. We never make eye contact with them. I bet you never thought about using eye contact in a systematic way of not looking at somebody. You are so trained to make eye contact, it never even enters your brain that most of the time, you can use it and not look at people on purpose because you're trying to do some cool shit. In service to you, your case, and your client. Not to manipulate, or to be unethical.”   * * * * FREE H2H TRAINING * * * *  THREE POWERFUL STRATEGIES TO HELP READ A JUROR’S MIND Understand what the jury is thinking, so you can gain the confidence to trust them - and yourself - in the courtroom.

Let's get real about manifesting, shall we? In this episode, I'm breaking down seven steps to manifesting… Well, anything you want, really.  Maybe it’s an 8-figure verdict, or your dream house, or dream car, or hell, your dream life! You name it. Get ready for mind-blowing stories – from how I manifested my biggest blessing to clients scoring dream jobs and ideal partners. Xo, Sari   Mentions: E-Squared: Nine Do-It-Yourself Energy Experiments That Prove Your Thoughts Create Your Reality by Pam Grout The Power of Consistency by Weldon Long Quote: "Whether it's the eight-figure verdict, or it's the big house, or it's the dream job, or the perfect spouse or mate, none of those things are things that you actually want. You're chasing a feeling. When you get an eight-figure verdict, you think it's going to make you feel a certain way, which is why you want it. It's always about feelings, which is why so many of us go through life constantly changing our circumstances, in a search for happiness, and we're not going to find it there. We're never going to find our happiness in things or people or jobs, ever."   * * * * FREE H2H TRAINING * * * *  THREE POWERFUL STRATEGIES TO HELP READ A JUROR’S MIND Understand what the jury is thinking, so you can gain the confidence to trust them - and yourself - in the courtroom.

HAPPY FUCKING NEW YEAR! 🎉 Welcome to SEASON 6! In this episode, we’re breaking the fuck AWAY from the idea of work-life balance. Tune in as I share the secrets to conquer overwhelm, kick-ass strategies to smash your goals without the burn out, and make 2024 your best year ever.  Xo, Sari   Quote:  “Here is how I suggest you go about having the work-life balance that I know you all crave. So, for example, most people – when we are talking about how to manage your time, have work-life balance, or manage a to-do list – what we do is we take all the things that we have to do and then we try to fit it into the time that we have. Then we bang our heads against the wall until eternity, because it never fucking fits. We always have way more things to do than we have time to do them. We have to get really good at prioritizing and focusing.”   *** WAITLIST IS OPEN FOR H2H PLAYGROUND™ *** JOIN THE CREW AND NEVER WORRY ABOUT WINNING AGAIN This is the time to get in the H2H Playground™ where you can be part of the best online working group and community of civil plaintiff & criminal defense attorneys.

RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU WANT A FAIR AND IMPARTIAL JURY. 🙋🏻‍♀️ Okay, now put it the fuck down because, guess what? YOU DON’T. In this episode, I talk about the ONLY logical strategy to handle bias, and trust me, no one in the industry talks about it (because I’m the best, duh). 🤫 Xo, Sari   Mentions: FHTH Podcast Episode #137 - The Problem with Trying to Find a “Fair & Impartial” Jury   Quote:  “Here's the thing– the only logical way to deal with bias, and you heard it here first, because I don't think anyone in the industry is going to say or has said or will ever say what I'm about to say, so buckle up.
