We keep talking about lawyer wellbeing. Most law firms have implemented employee wellness programs. And yet... the numbers don't seem to be changing.

The post #152: Lawyer Life (Time To Choose Your Hard) appeared first on Life and Law Podcast.

I often hear from disillusioned attorneys who became lawyers so that they can make a real impact yet don't feel as if they're making a difference - whether through their work or within their lives.

Is that you, too?

Maybe you feel like your always busy, often rushed schedule gets in the way. Perhaps you worry about the direction the country (even the world) seems to be going culturally and/or politically. And maybe you look around and wonder where common sense and basic decency has gone.

If that's you, you are not alone. And today, we tackle how to empower yourself to start making a difference, feel more motivated and be more hopeful. Yes, as a lawyer but also as a human being.

One of the top complaints I hear from attorneys is how isolated they feel. They lack support, and mostly frame that in terms of firm/management support. But when you dig deeper, we usually find that the support they lack (and need most) is peer support.
