I’ve always enjoyed doing more than one thing at one time. When I was in law school, I sang in a band and co-owned a clothing store. While working as a professional background singer, I opened an interior design studio with one of my best friends. Before becoming judge of Lauren Lake’s Paternity Court, I was a licensed attorney, legal analyst, professional singer, author, designer, and I hosted my own show on HGTV called Spice Up My Kitchen.

I’ve had people tell me that no one would take me seriously because I do too many things. For years, people tried to put me in a box. I remember people used to ask me when I was going to choose one job. People incorrectly assumed my multi-faceted professional pursuits were a liability. In actuality, I was creating multiple income streams by living outside the box.
