Lawyers:
​are you burned out by constant stress and conflict? 

And know you should take better care of yourself, but just can't find the time or motivation?

You're not alone.

You've been a lawyer long enough to know that this job can get pretty intense. But despite your experience, part of you just can't seem to get over how incredibly stressful it is.

Conflicts with people -- at work and at home -- and a lifestyle of poor sleep, unhealthy food and not enough exercise often seem like occupational hazards for lawyers.

You are smart, accomplished, really good at your job, and have a lot to appreciate in your life. But lawyer burnout has you stumped.

While other lawyers around you seem like they're ok with being unhealthy and unbalanced, it bothers you. You know you can't go on like this forever.

It's easy to blame the profession for what you are going through. Most lawyers do. But the truth is, even years of experience practicing law may not teach you how to manage your thoughts or your emotions well enough to keep you from feeling like ass even if you’re out there kicking it.
​
Which is precisely why despite all your good intentions, you're burned out. ​​

​I can help you.

I've SO been there.

I've been a lawyer since 2005. It didn't take me long to realize why so many lawyers quit. I became determined to figure out a different way. But despite how many CLEs I attended, I didn't get the tools to manage my mind. No matter how many books I read, nobody understood the mind of a lawyer. Even the other lawyers seemed resigned that burnout was just our reality. And being told to "hang in there" or "toughen up" told me what I should do, but didn't tell me HOW. I was determined to figure out how to heal the burnout and restore balance in practicing law. 

Any of this sound familiar?

• You mentally replay difficult conversations with clients or opposing counsel, kicking yourself for letting it all get under your skin.
• When under pressure, you scroll through your phone and fantasize about moving to Costa Rica to, oh, become a yoga teacher or something. But you haven't made it into the gym or studio in....a while.
• You’ve tried to meditate more, but some days, you’re lucky if you have time to brush your teeth before you collapse into bed.
• At times you’ve just said, “F it,” and found nirvana in the designer shoe section at Nordstrom, or that third glass of wine at the overpriced hipster place.
• Netflix. And more Netflix.
• CLEs that cover mindfulness kind of gloss over the surface or tell you stuff you already know. The rest of the CLEs offer only substantive information, and your brain is already stuffed with that.
• You feel envious of your friends who didn't go to law school -- and appear to have more fulfilled lives.
• You eat takeout pizza at your desk and work through the rest of the afternoon in a food coma. It's Wednesday, and so far this week you haven't had a single morning when you had time to pack a salad for lunch. 
• A personal life? What is that? I've heard it is nice.

You may find solace in seeing that you're not the only burned out lawyer whose health and life outside of work are a mess.
But, you don't have to become a statistic like them.
​There is hope.
You can learn a whole new way to be in this profession, so that it doesn't burn you out. Intrigued?
