Tomorrow’s my birthday

Oh people, here I go… sharing the thing that women “of a certain age” no longer want to share. My age.   I am turning 55. It’s such a good number.  I’m actually kind of excited for it.   Not sure how I’ll feel about 56! 😊 Trying to stay present! The lightning bolt of...

Why she quit on Monday

Why she quit on Monday

A few months ago, I wrote about a WILL member who couldn’t get out of bed. Her body said, “No. We are done for now.” She took a one-month leave of absence, and then extended it to two. Still weary, she went back to work, where the boundary violations began...

Do you love to learn?

Do you love to learn?

Do you love to learn?    How long did it take you to become a lawyer?  You did at least 3 years in law school, plus your years of practice.  So at a very minimum, 3-4 years. What does law school teach you to do REALLY?  Might you agree that primarily, it teaches you...

What would you LOVE your life to look like in two years?

I got a text from a WILL alumna this week that read:Since leaving (big) law, Courtney has worked in a non-legal capacity at a dynamic real estate company in San Francisco. She now gets to be in meetings much of the day, which is her idea of a good time. Sitting alone...

Why I chose not to go to law school

Why I chose not to go to law school

One of the many reasons I started WILL is that I flailed early in my career.  It seemed like law school was one of the only options. When I graduated college, many people asked… “Are you going to go to law school?  You can do anything with a law degree.” My dad had...

The #1 thing I hear from women lawyers

The #1 thing I hear from women lawyers

Last week, my son was back in his school building, hunched over a desk in the gym, taking the SAT. As I dropped him off, I held myself back from hugging him goodbye in front of the other kids, and saying, “Do your best, but really, it doesn’t matter what you get on...

What Ted Lasso and Walt Whitman taught me

What Ted Lasso and Walt Whitman taught me

I was taking a walk the other morning and musing about a big decision.To be honest, I was giving myself a hard time.  I’ve got Gemini all over my chart, and I tend to hang out in ambivalence longer than is probably good for me, and those around me.Then, I remembered...

What does faith and freedom mean to you?

What does faith and freedom mean to you?

Sometimes Jewish holidays catch me off guard.  Since they are based on a lunar calendar, they don't fall on the same exact day each year. This Saturday, despite its early arrival, I am ready for Passover. After this past year, I'd love to talk about liberation - how...
