The Lawyer Life Podcast
You don't have to look very far to find studies confirming what we all know to be true--the legal profession is suffering. Countless studies confirm that our attorneys are struggling with substance abuse, mental health challenges, anxiety, and stress at alarming rates. While these challenges cannot be attributed to any one cause, many of these studies have demonstrated the need for greater support and mentorship in the legal profession. At the same time, as attorneys, we need to develop better and healthier coping skills to overcome the inevitable challenges of practicing law. This podcast endeavors to do just that. Get practical skills and tools to change the way you interact with your career and start living differently.

When we believe we don't have what it takes or that we can't do something, it creates doubt and fear and those emotions always drive us to show up small and without confidence. Those types of actions create results that allow impostor syndrome to thrive. When we believe we can't do it, we don't show up as our best and we don’t do our best. As a result, we create all sorts of evidence to support our impostor syn...
