On this week's episode, the ladies chat with Dana Shaker a lawyer who works in Policy, certified yoga teacher, and entrepreneur. In 2020, Dana started her own yoga and wellness business designed specifically for lawyers, law students, and professionals, now called Journey and Practice LLC.

Dana attended Scripps College in California and through her studies and experiences she knew law school was a way to chase her dreams! Food law is what actually drove her towards her law school choice, Georgetown Law. During law school, managed to stay within the food law program and was even an editor on the Food Law journal.

Her top tip for current law students: PRIORITIZE YOUR MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS!!!

After a bit of a struggle and not passing the bar exam two times, Dana was let go from her firm in California and had what she calls her *quarter-life crisis* where she realized she had to prove to herself that she was worthy. After taking the bar exam, she passed the Washington, D.C. Bar. While you might think she would have ended up D.C. surprise surprise she ended up back in California doing policy work.

As you can tell Dana understands the particular stressors lawyers (and law students) face, so Dana’s goal is to empower her clients to navigate challenging life circumstances by discovering, embracing, and acting on their inner wisdom—which oftentimes means stepping away from one’s mind and learning instead from one’s physical body and emotions!

She offers a variety of yoga and wellness services, including a unique Bar Exam Yoga and Wellness Program for exam takers, something that is near and dear to her heart.
