Ep #63: Brain Health and Productivity for Lawyers with Alysia Davies
In a profession like law where we’re so reliant on our cognitive function to advocate for other people, and so much value is placed on productivity over self-care, it can feel like there’s no space for mental health practices that take care of your brain. If you feel like this seems woo-woo and that there’s […]
Ep #62: How to Say No (Without Burning Bridges)

Do you ever feel like you’re not in the right job?

This is […]
Ep #55: Do Less. Be More.
This week’s topic is one that I know is going to resonate with most, if not all of you. Hustling, overextending ourselves, and generally trying to be all things to everyone in our lives all at once is an experience I know so many people are going through, whether you’re a lawyer or not. So, […]
