In this mini-solo episode, I discuss practical and actionable ways to avoid burnout! In the legal industry, our jobs can be very demanding at times and I think it’s better to try and avoid burnout, than pretend like it won’t happen if we just ignore the signs!

In summary, know your priorities, make a list and really be mindful of managing your time! “Quit Quitting” is not an option for many of us running our own businesses, so be proactive with your mental health!

In this episode, I speak with Canadian-Kiwi Lawyer, Adrian J. Carter. We discuss his education (including his time in the Paralegal Program at Fleming College), his transfer to university, law school, and then his legal career. He also worked for the public sector in New Zealand during COVID, and so I got to ask him, “What was it like being on the government side of COVID restrictions… in New Zealand?!” He also gives advice to those interested in the public sector and/or looking to change jurisdictions.   

It is one of The Applicant Podcasts longer episodes and worth listening to every minute!
