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. She tells me when she knew lawyering wasn't right for her, why she tried to make it work anyway, and whether a JD really does translate into a "do anything" degree. 

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