Are you ready to give up your feelings of powerlessness and resignation?To tap into your divine rage?To experience full-bodied relief like a joyful, tingly exhale?As women, we are taught to be afraid of our anger.To smush it down, snuff it out, suppress it.It’s so...

Like millions of others, I’m obsessed with Ted Lasso.(Spoilers ahead so if you haven’t finished Season 2, you’ve been duly warned!) I’m a little ashamed to admit how many times I’ve watched Season 1. Okay, at least four.  Some choice episodes may have been consumed...

This is what a former big law attorney told me... “When I was a fourth-year associate, working till the wee hours of the night, my fellow juniors and I would fantasize about being rescued by a magical SWAT team. We imagined someone would swoop in and helicopter us...

"How can I stop being so mean to myself?" The big takeaway from the workshop I ran earlier this week was... Boundary setting is both an external AND and internal job. I shared this framework (based on William Ury's book The Power of a Positive No) and want YOU to put...

Go outside and collect 10 leaves. Put them aside or press them under a big book.  Then, grab a journal or notepad and answer these questions... ➳ What do you want to let go of? ➳ What do you want to call in more of? These are two questions that we meditated on during...

In the past couple of weeks someone very close to me, who had previously been perfectly healthy, got very sick. I’m happy to report that they are on the mend and will pull through. It was close though. Scarily close. I am beyond appreciative for all the care they...

I got to meet Jenny for the first time last month. I was in California for work, friends, family and fun.  I was also taking some time just for me. On August 1st, we had a meet up at an outdoor café for WILL members and alumni. It was AMAZING to meet people in person,...

WILL wins range from the micro to the macro. WILL Members and Alumni have set boundaries around bogus deadlines, taken weekends away with their spouses, and given notice to their firms. One even landed a job at her dream institution, the Metropolitan Museum of Art! I...

As a lawyer, you are probably well trained in “either/or” thinking.   You may think things like… ...I either make big law money, or I’ll earn nothing. ...I’m either a lawyer, or I don’t know what else I am. ...I either suck it up, or I’m a loser. I recently came...

There has never been a better time to leave (big) law! Seriously. As you know, some firms are requesting, or requiring people to come back into the office.  Many people I speak with do not want to go. Instead of going back into the office, where would you like to go?...

A WILL member I’ll call Samantha has been working with us for just a couple of months.  She gave her notice last week. She spent nine years practicing law, and nothing was changing. That is, except for her mental and physical health, and not for the better. She does...

Sometimes, I speak to women who want to be in another job right now. The suffering, compounded anxiety and exhaustion is no joke. They are depleted and they are done. If that feels familiar, you could probably be in another legal job pretty quickly, or take a leave of...
