In this hilarious and raw episode of When I Grow Up, Paul Glazby sits down with Gold Coast family lawyer Liza Friedwald, and let’s just say, It’s a journey.

From her first day in court with nothing but a pen and paper (and no idea what an axle is), to prosecuting overloaded truckies, handling money laundering cases, surviving postnatal depression, and being evacuated during the Lindt Café siege, Liza has seen it all.

They chat about how Sam Brown’s “Can I Get a Witness” music video inspired her to become a lawyer, the real-life realities of being a barrister in Sydney, surviving postnatal depression during COVID, and how a video game gave her peace of mind during a hostage crisis. Oh, and yes, she once set up a Grindr profile under the name "Axel" for a legal case.

It’s brutally honest, deeply funny, and full of surprising insights from a career in the courtroom (and out of it).
