This episode is to welcome you to the forthcoming Recovering Lawyer podcast and to let you know what to expect!
This podcast is for lawyers and other "recovering" professionals who are seeking to redevelop those parts of themselves that professional careers tend to force us to leave behind.
Episode-by-episode, you'll hear stories and conversations about what exists "beyond the boardroom" in the lives of incredibly interesting guests who have found ways to be both successful and fulfilled. The conversations are candid, soulful, and smart, quickly getting to the heart of the matter at hand⎯the path forward to personal fulfillment.
You'll leave each episode with ideas for your own life, the warm glow of a good time with friends, and enough inspiration that should last you to the next episode.
Your host is the self-described "forever Recovering Lawyer," Jaunique Sealey.
