Advice from a young lawyer to another young lawyer with Ashley Ritter
September 15, 2020 10:00 - 24 minutes - 22.7 MBI’ve been thinking a lot about what it is like to be a law student or a new lawyer during these times because I know that it was truly challenging for me even without the pandemic so I am wondering how difficult is it to be a young lawyer right now trying to navigate your career and find that balance and harmony between work and life?

Leading the Maryland State Bar with Victor Velazquez
September 08, 2020 10:00 - 36 minutes - 33 MBVictor Velazquez is the Chief Executive Officer of the Maryland State Bar Association.

Managing major depression as a lawyer with Dan Lukasik
August 25, 2020 10:00 - 41 minutes - 37.8 MBI’ve had a few guests on my podcast to discuss mental health and depression specifically. At one point I wondered whether I am talking about one thing too much. But when it comes to mental health and depression specifically, you cannot talk about it enough. Depression is still taboo and still a struggle that many of us lawyers face, and every time we talk about it, we are creating a safer space for anyone who may relate. And so today I am speaking with Dan Lukasik, the founder of Lawyers wi...

Finding a job during a pandemic with Emily Witt
August 11, 2020 10:00 - 39 minutes - 35.9 MBThe perception right now may be that it is difficult to find a job or bounce back from losing a job; there’s just generally so much uncertainty about the future.

Emily is a recruiter and managing director at Whistler Partners, which connects companies and firms to the right lawyers across the ...
Becoming a leader with Delphine O’Rourke
August 04, 2020 10:00 - 41 minutes - 38.4 MBI was debating whether I should put the title as “becoming a female leader” with Delphine O’Rourke or just putting down “becoming a leader” and I decided to go with the latter because right now, there are so many “female” leaders who are breaking ground all over the world and across the country. Why qualify it? Yes, sometimes being a leader as a woman has its own challenges, and we talk about that, too. Because Delphine is a partner at a large law firm in Philadelphia and she also holds sev...
Why your mental health journey is a strength with Samorn Selim
July 28, 2020 10:00 - 42 minutes - 38.9 MBAs a minority woman, you go through a lot of stuff to say the least. People doubt you more, question you more, and it makes you feel like you don’t belong. They can’t help it; people have preconceived notions about who you are and your background and your ability as a lawyer. And we have to bear the consequences of those stereotypes. Those kinds of treatment are at the root of many mental health conditions that a lot of us go through, but at the end of the day, as Samorn Selim, my guest tod...

Founding the Lawyers Depression Project with Joseph Milowic III
July 07, 2020 10:00 - 38 minutes - 35 MBToday I am speaking with Joe Milowic, who I met over a year ago, and you’ll learn more about exactly how we met during the episode, but I have learned and grown so much from being part of the Lawyers Depression Project for over a year.

Defining leadership, health, and mindfulness with Chris Ogle
June 23, 2020 10:00 - 55 minutes - 50.7 MBThis one is especially for anyone who has a background in the military because that is Chris Ogle’s background, but even if you are not in the military I highly recommend tuning in. Chris is an in-house counsel at an energy company after being a prosecutor, practicing maritime law, and practicing a host of other specialized areas of the law. And the biggest takeaway for him having a military background is that you get to choose how to lead, how to set an example, how to be healthy, and how ...

How to solve any problem with Olivia Vizachero
May 26, 2020 10:00 - 47 minutes - 43.9 MBI know the title is bold: how to solve any problem? Are you sure? Because I sure can’t raise anyone from the dead or make problems disappear. But the way Olivia and I approach solutions is slightly different. It’s not about getting rid of the problem; it’s about learning how to manage it and manage your approach to it. You might say, well, I’ve tried so many times and so many ways to approach the problem differently, and it is still there and bothering me. And that is why I believe in step-...

How being a parent makes you a better attorney with Lisa Goldkuhl
April 28, 2020 10:00 - 47 minutes - 43 MBFor a while, and probably still, there is a lot of talk about how starting a family is going to get in the way of your career. And it probably does in some ways, but not as much as we all think it does. We call this a limiting belief: believing that a certain circumstance is in the way of you reaching your goals and being the fullest self. In this episode, I chat with Lisa Goldkuhl, who crushes this limiting belief that being a parent gets in the way. In fact, we talk about all the ways bei...

March 31, 2020 10:00 - 46 minutes - 42.8 MBWe’ve been talking a lot about what it means to leave the law or transition out of the law, but I don’t think we’ve had that conversation yet of what that really looks like.

How many “failures” do you need to go through in order to get to your dream job? What does that actually look like? What kind of processes do you need to go throug...

How to be a Good Leader with Tom Guild - My Boss
March 17, 2020 10:00 - 31 minutes - 42.6 MBI posted a few weeks ago about how my boss, Tom, had asked for my registry, and when he got it he secretly forwarded it to everybody in the office, and he bought a crib, and at least half the cost of the registry was accounted for, and then, I didn’t mention this in my post because it happened the day after I posted and before Tom knew about the post, he threw me a surprise baby shower at work, where I got another slew of gifts.

March 10, 2020 10:00 - 43 minutes - 39.8 MBI don’t know if you’ve noticed, but mindfulness and Ayurveda is a hot topic these days. And we are quick to dismiss them as just another trend or just another thing that you cannot afford to do in your busy schedule. But what if I said that it really only takes 5 seconds?

But it’s too hard or I’m too busy.” If you have been feeling like there needs to be some sort of change in your mid-size or large firm, I’ve got a gold mine of an episode for you today.

Living a balanced life with Lisa Lang
February 25, 2020 11:00 - 43 minutes - 39.5 MBSo, this is the first time I’ve had a university counsel on my podcast, and speaking with Lisa Lang, General Counsel of Kentucky State University, has been eye-opening and relatable at the same time.

How to lose weight on a busy schedule with Jessica Kishpaugh
February 11, 2020 11:00 - 38 minutes - 34.9 MBNow, I used to not really talk about weight loss because I did not want to trigger any feelings of guilt or shame among anyone who may be pressured to lose weight. But the more I am learning through my practice and in my community, the more I am realizing that weight loss is a taboo subject because somehow people feel “weak” or “too personal” or “superficial” even though it is an important goal for them. Well, if it is an important goal, then we should talk about it so that we can raise aw...
Designing Your Dream Life With Charlotte Smith
February 04, 2020 11:00 - 58 minutes - 53.5 MBDo you ever think about designing your dream life? You might think, how can I? I have clients to take care of. Deals to close. Trials to win. Briefs to write. Fires to put out. I literally don’t have time for a dream life. And who are you to tell me I am not living a decent enough life, you might say. But I am talking about that dream life. The life that you don’t even think about because you think it’s too good to be true. The one where you feel like is impossible, so you keep it somewhere...

January 21, 2020 11:00 - 45 minutes - 42.2 MBMindfulness is a term that is thrown out all over the place these days, but we are still left with wondering what it really means. In this episode, Jeena Cho breaks down what it means to be mindful and how we can use that to become happier, and more present.

November 26, 2019 11:00 - 46 minutes - 42.9 MBHow do you shift your lifestyle? It all starts with the mind set. What does that mean?

How To Be Resourceful About Your Health With Claire Parsons
November 19, 2019 11:00 - 45 minutes - 41.4 MBI’ve been stressing out a lot these days about whether I am doing the right thing as an expecting mother. Should I have skipped the pizza?

How To Run A Marathon with Jeffrey Conner
November 12, 2019 11:00 - 52 minutes - 72.5 MBWhen you think of the word "marathon", you may have certain images in your mind. People with a number attached to their chest, pictures of running, long run, probably daunting, and probably “something I'll maybe do later in my life.” That is, of course, if you are not already a marathon runner. This week, I chat with Jeff Conner, who is a Deputy Solicitor General at the Nevada Attorney General’s office and also a 9-time marathon runner. In this episode, Jeff talks about the exact steps to t...
Public Health and Family Law with Mujdah Rahim
November 05, 2019 11:00 - 39 minutes - 53.7 MBWhen we talk about family law and domestic violence, we actually don’t really talk about it. It is typically a private matter, and it ends up being taboo. You hear a lot about corporate and public initiatives about combating sexual assault and abuse at the workplace, but not a lot about domestic violence. Maybe because it is too personal, maybe because it is too complicated, but in my conversation with Mujdah Rahim, I learned a lot about how domestic violence matters as a public health cris...

October 29, 2019 10:00 - 44 minutes - 61 MBI’m sure I’ve mentioned several times the perinatal depression I’ve been experiencing over the first and now second trimester of my first pregnancy.

How to be fit to practice by serving yourself first with Amy Refeca
October 15, 2019 10:00 - 53 minutes - 73.3 MBThis is the first time I've heard the notion of how practicing law is about serving lawyers before clients. Often times we are so driven by serving others that we attach our sense of worth and value to how much we can do for others, and we end up running on fumes. I chat with Amy Refeca, a wills and trusts lawyer in Atlanta, who talks about how being fit to practice is all about serving lawyers first, after experiencing her own burnout and postpartum depression while trying to prioritize e...
