This week on Lawfully Yours, hosts Vickki Ridgway and Geraldine Watson are joined by the inspiring Hasina Reshamwalla for an honest, uplifting and deeply personal conversation about resilience, purpose and empowering others.
Before welcoming Hasina to the podcast, Vickki and Geraldine discuss some of the latest developments in family law, including the proposed reforms surrounding cohabitation rights and the enduring myth of the \"common law marriage\".
They explain what the potential changes could mean for couples, why so many people remain unaware of their legal position, and why seeking legal advice early can make all the difference.
The conversation then turns to Hasina's remarkable journey. She shares her incredible life story, reflecting on the experiences that have shaped both her personal and professional life, and the lessons she's learned along the way.
Drawing on her background in family law and mediation, Hasina discusses the realities of supporting individuals through some of the most challenging periods of their lives, after going through her own, offering insight into compassion, resilience and understanding that the profession demands.
Vickki, Geraldine and Hasina also explore the exciting work she is now doing through VEDA Women's Club. They discuss the importance of creating spaces where women can connect, support one another and grow in confidence, as well as the positive impact that strong communities can have on both personal and professional development.
Expect inspiring stories, honest reflections and plenty of laughs along the way, as Lawfully Yours continues to shine a light on the people behind the professions and the experiences that shape them.
This is a must-listen for anyone interested in law, personal growth, and the power of community — and a reminder that some of life's greatest challenges can become the foundation for helping others.
