The conversation begins with Kimberley exploring how her most cherished roles wife and parent shape her daily life and sense of self. She offers insight into the challenges and joys of being a biological and step-parent, and the personal evolution that comes with nurturing a blended family.

As the discussion unfolds, Kimberley takes us back to her early passion for law, sparked by an essay she wrote at just six years old. From there, she walks us through her professional path, from practicing civil litigation to serving as in-house counsel. Along the way, she reflects on her studies in the UK, what keeps her motivated in her career, and the deep sense of purpose she finds in her legal work.

Grounding her busy life is a heartfelt commitment to daily gratitude.

A practice that serves as a gentle reminder to pause and appreciate life’s big and small blessings.

Listeners will also enjoy learning a few delightful surprises about Kimberley. She has a fondness for diners and comfort food from around the world, a quirky fear of iguanas (which she amusingly likens to public speaking), and a deep love for musical theater complete with performances in local productions and a cherished family tradition of music.

When asked about her proudest accomplishment, Kimberley’s answer is heartfelt and immediate: her daughter. She speaks candidly about the powerful lessons she’s learned through motherhood and the pride she feels in watching her daughter grow.

The episode wraps with a look at Kimberley’s efforts to make a lasting impact. From founding the Women’s Legal Network to creating a support group for stepmoms in Bermuda, she emphasizes the importance of building spaces where women can feel safe, supported and empowered.

Throughout the conversation, Kimberley returns to key themes of vulnerability, honesty and courage. She encourages listeners to trust their instincts, address unmet needs, and take bold steps to foster connection and community, reminding us all that growth often begins just beyond our comfort zone.
