I'm Emily Logan Stedman, and on this episode of The Grace Period, we're having honest conversations about the importance of seeking professional and personal help to maintain your sanity. 

Learn how mentorship, supportive colleague relationships, and effective delegation can transform your workflow, prevent burnout, and keep you thriving in your demanding career. I'll share practical tips for identifying which tasks can be handed off and strategies for building trust and communication within your teams.

We'll discuss why setting boundaries, practicing self-care, and asking for help from family and friends are non-negotiable for your wellbeing. Whether you're knee-deep in big law or another rigorous profession, these insights are designed to help you prioritize yourself without compromising your professional success.
