Buckle up, sandwich lovers, because this week we’re serving up an extra special episode! Meet Megan Whiteside. She’s a powerhouse trial attorney, marathon runner, podcast host, law professor, and, oh yeah, a super mom, too! Megan is the Owner and Managing Attorney of Whiteside Legal PPC, a law firm that takes on the tough cases—nursing home abuse, medical malpractice, and car crash victims—with compassion, courage, and a laser-focused commitment to justice.
She shares how she went from feeling stuck and uninspired in her early legal career to finding her ultimate “why” in advocating for vulnerable people, particularly elderly patients suffering neglect and mistreatment. She also gets real about how becoming a mom transformed her work. From sharpening her empathy to reinforcing her resilience, she explains how parenthood has made her a better lawyer.
We also dig into the emotional and systemic challenges behind nursing home abuse cases, the art of storytelling in the pursuit of justice. Her story will inspire anyone looking to make a meaningful pivot in their professional life. Oh, and don’t miss the fun twist where Megan shares her favorite sandwich—it’s the perfect cherry on top of a truly inspiring episode!
