I believed the myth we’re all sold in law school and in practice: that success is a straight line forged through sheer will, billable hours, and self-sacrifice. I climbed the ladder, hit the benchmarks, and looked the part of a successful attorney.
But on the inside, I was crumbling. The constant pressure, the unrelenting deadlines, and the feeling that I was perpetually failing both my clients and my family led to a deep, hollowing burnout. I was running on fumes, disconnected from the passion that once drove me to practice law, and wondering, “Is this really it?”
I bridge the gap between the rigorous world of legal practice and the transformative world of professional coaching.
My most critical credential is my journey through and out of my own profound burnout. I offer not just theory.
Practical approaches to reconnect with physical needs often neglected in legal careers.
I realized that the very thinking that got me into this profession—the perfectionism, the relentless drive, the idolization of busyness—was the same thinking that was destroying my health, my relationships, and my joy. I knew that if I wanted a different life, I had to build a different framework.
So, I stepped back. I immersed myself in the science of burnout recovery, neurobiology, resilience psychology, and transformational coaching. I didn’t just want to cope; I wanted to discover how high-achievers could truly thrive without self-destruction.
What I discovered changed everything. I learned that sustainable high performance is a skill. It’s built on managing energy, not just time. It’s grounded in purpose, not just pressure. It requires boundaries, not just bravery.
I rebuilt my own life from the inside out. And in doing so, I found my true calling: not just to practice law, but to help other lawyers reclaim their lives from the practice of law.
