In this episode, I'm joined by my friends Des (@dezeerae) and Laura (@laurels413) while we chat criminal procedurals, compartmentalizing trauma, and how Aaron Hotchner hung up his lawyer briefcase for the chance to shoot bad guys. 

A content warning - if you would find any of the content of Criminal Minds difficult, you may want to skip this episode, as we talk pretty openly about the different types of violent crimes.

 In this episode, I'm joined by my friends Ian (@lawblrwithalcohol) and Harumi (@angrybabylawyer) to pick their brains on how they balance their litigation lifestyle with their faith.

In this episode, I'm joined by my friend Nissa (@adustierstar) to chat about her life after trying to make "the law thing" work for her.

A Content Warning - at 3:58 there is a short anecdote from family court involving self-harm; skip 30 se...
