I write here to reveal to myself as briefly as possible what I believe and think.

A lawyer messaged me last week: “My practice area is so niche. I don’t think my skills would transfer to a non-law job.” I get it. Law feels like its own universe. But after coaching hundreds of attorneys, I’ve seen the truth:
You’ve probably heard the quote often attributed to Einstein: “We can’t solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them.” Whether he said it or not, it’s a powerful idea. Most people take it to mean: think differently, get creative, approach things from a new…
The practice of law often rewards perfectionism, hyper-vigilance, and conflict. If these aren’t qualities that energize you, it’s no surprise you might feel disconnected or even broken. But what if you’re not broken at all—just in the wrong environment?
But that pit in your gut? It’s not just adulthood or a result of the "grind". It’s your sign that something’s off. #lawyer #careerchange
Received an email today from a lawyer who signed off with “Best regards, 7 years down, 23 to go.” That one hit me. When law sucks the life out of you, it can start to feel normal.
You can be successful on paper, respected by peers, and still quietly dread going to work as a lawyer. That deep discomfort may not be a weakness—it may be your inner voice telling you the life you're living isn’t really yours. #lawyer #CareerChange
Many lawyers feel exhausted, anxious, and unfulfilled—not because they aren’t smart or hardworking, but because the daily demands of practicing law often go against their natural strengths and values. It’s not a failure. It’s a misalignment. #CareerChange #LawyerLife
We live in a world defined by duality. We understand what something is by recognizing what it isn’t—light is known by the presence of darkness, big by small, Giants by the Dodgers, Left by the Right, and life by death. Our experiences are shaped by contrast. Now, stay with me…
Quick quiz - choose the best answer for you: 1. "Today is the tomorrow you were worrying about yesterday," or 2. "Today is the tomorrow you were dreaming about yesterday." Which one fits you? "Worry" or "Dream"? Why?
There’s a saying that the only opinions that should matter to you are those of your 8-year-old self and your 80-year-old self. This saying is a powerful way for me to avoid comparing myself to others while staying true to the values I’ve always held dear and remaining open to…
We all know the golden rule: treat others how you want to be treated. But here's the golden question: do you want to be right, or do you want to be happy? Being right feels good, but I’ve realized being happy feels so much better.
I once heard that getting angry is like drinking poison and expecting someone else to get hurt. I got angry today, and it felt awful. Thankfully, I can feel it draining out of me now.
They say your motivations shape your perceptions. When I'm thirsty, I see water. When I'm cold, I envision a warm jacket. Hungry? I picture my stomach full. Exhausted? I see a bed. This explains why I act the way I do in these moments, but it makes me wonder: once all my basic…
Funny how we can find great advice and motivation pretty much everywhere. We just need to be open to receiving it (and not speed read too fast.)
