Feel exhausted but still telling yourself you should be able to push through?Burnout isn’t weakness, and pretending it is keeps lawyers stuck longer than they need to be.Burnout shows up differently for lawyers, but the root cause is often the same: constant pressure, blurred boundaries, and the belief that rest has to be earned. In this episode of The Lei’d Back Life, Jordan sits down with Jess Birken to unpack what lawyer burnout actually is, why traditional work life balance advice fails, and how chronic stress quietly erodes both performance and personal life.

This conversation is for attorneys who feel overwhelmed, tired of white knuckling their practice, and ready for practical ways to set boundaries and rebuild energy without burning everything down.
