Life & Law Podcast - Build Your Ideal Law Practice, Have A Balanced Life

You became a lawyer to make an impact and create the life you want. But sometimes it feels as if your law practice has BECOME your life. The Life & Law Podcast is for lawyers who enjoy lawyering but are ready to ditch the stress, overwhelm and unhappiness that seems to come with the territory of practicing law. You are in the right place if you've ever asked: - Is work life balance as a lawyer (and a partner) really possible? - Can I accomplish what I want within my law practice without sacrificing me in the process? - How can I possibly build a book of business when I can barely squeeze *life* in now? Join host Heather Moulder, former AmLaw 100 partner turned lawyer leadership and business coach, each week for how to banish lawyer burnout, boost mental health and achieve more of what you want in law and life. Each week you'll get practical tools, real-world insight and proven strategies for becoming a happy lawyer without sacrificing your success. Personal and professional development topics covered by Heather and her guests include: lawyer wellbeing and mental health, business growth, legal marketing, networking, emotional intelligence, career development, how to manage your mind (and lower stress/anxiety), productivity strategies, leadership development, and law practice management.

How often do you wish you had more control... Over your time, your business, your life? If you're like most attorneys, you probably think (or even say) something to that effect daily.

Listen to today's episode to discover why letting go of control is THE foundational answer to getting to the place you want to be.
