Life & Law Podcast: Lawyer podcast for sustainable success in law and life

For most lawyers, the practice of law is all-encompassing. Which is why so many lawyers suffer from higher-than-average rates of stress, anxiety, burnout and depression. The good news? It doesn't have to be this way. Join me for an insightful discussion with licensed counselor (and attorney) Bena Stock. Inside today's episode you'll learn how to overcome this all-encompassing nature (hint: it starts from within your own mind). Today, you'll learn: - A foundational (yet often surprising) reason why so many attorneys end up stressed, anxious and depressed. - The role perfectionism plays in attorney stress and anxiety. - Why emotional regulation is KEY to attorney happiness (and how to start improving your emotional regulation skills immediately). *** Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts --> "Lawyers need this podcast." --> "Heather hits every relevant topic, giving practical advice in an easy to digest manner." --> "Love hearing Heather and her guest’s perspectives on topics that attorneys often shy away from."
