#63 - "Off the Clock: Meet Family Law Attorney Norma Hernandez" (Featuring Special Guest Joanna Corona)

The courtroom is serious but the woman behind the lawyer is real, funny, and with story.

Today, we get to meet that Norma. 😄

In this episode, we kick back with Norma Hernandez, a family law attorney with 12+ years of experience fighting for families, but today, she’s officially off the clock. No legal briefs. No hearings. Just real stories, real laughs, and the journey that shaped the woman behind the title. ☕🎙️

Joining her is Joanna Corona, a returning guest, real estate agent, best friend, and co-host of their podcast The Real World of Joanna & Norma. For the first time, they’re together on Café con Leche y Piquete, and the energy is exactly what you'd expect: smart, funny, honest… and just a little bit spicy. 🌶️ (Yes, the bottle on the table is real. 😉)

We talk about how Norma went from law school to launching her own practice, the cases that shaped her, the emotional weight of family law, and the balance between being a fierce attorney in court and a grounded, joyful human outside of it. Humor with a purpose, exactly the way we like it.

Why this episode matters

Behind every “professional title” is a person with a story, and in our community, those stories matter. 🫶

Even the people who help us through the hardest legal moments still laugh, stress, cry, mess up, heal, and grow just like the rest of us.

Key Takeaways ✨

Lawyers are humans first, titles come second

Success doesn’t erase the battles behind it

Real friendships make the mission lighter ❤️

Helping people is heavy work, humor is necessary, not optional

You don’t have to “turn off” your culture to be professional

Community is built through connection, not perfection

If this episode made you smile, think, or feel seen, share it with someone who’d vibe with it too. 🤝
