In this episode of Empowered with Gina, Gina Zapanta sits down with Margherita Giubilei — a driven, resilient, and inspiring attorney at Alder Law whose journey from a small town in Italy to the courtrooms of Los Angeles is anything but ordinary.
At 19, Margherita left behind comfort, family, and everything familiar to chase a dream across the world. With no connections, limited English, and nothing but grit, she carved a path for herself — first as a collegiate athlete, then as a law student, and now as a rising trial lawyer in one of California’s top plaintiff firms.
Gina and Margherita dive deep into what it really takes to build a life on your terms: sacrifice, self-belief, and an unshakable vision. They explore the cultural and emotional weight of leaving family behind, the fear and freedom of motherhood, and the power of doing the scary thing anyway.
Margherita’s story will challenge you to stop waiting for the “right time” and start betting on yourself. Because the life you want? It’s waiting on the other side of your comfort zone.
