Discover how to navigate the demanding world of big law without losing your sense of self. This season of the Grace Period promises to pull back the curtain on the often concealed reality of big law. I'm Emily Logan Steadman, your guide on a journey through the highs and lows of being a big law associate and partner. This season is a blend of listener-inspired topics and personal insights, designed to help you build a sustainable career while keeping your wellbeing intact. From the intricacies of the partner track to mastering the art of billing, we’re unpacking everything you need to know about thriving in this competitive field.

Join me as I share candid stories about managing motivation, cultivating a professional brand, and the vital role of mentorship in shaping your career. Learn practical strategies for setting boundaries, seeking support, and fostering meaningful relationships within and beyond your firm. As we explore these themes, I'll reflect on my own experiences and the lessons I wish I had known earlier on my path. Together, let's prioritize our mental health and discover how to achieve career success without sacrificing personal well-being. Your feedback is always valued, and I invite you to be part of this ongoing conversation about life in big law. Until next time, take care of yourselves and each other—that's our true grace period.
