Mens Sana: A Motion for Mental Health Mens Sana

Kaitlyn is struggling today -- her looming potential PMDD has her in a bit of a rut. But, we manage to provide you with some hopefully helpful #WFH tips and a reminder that you are not just working from home, you are home during a pandemic trying to get work done. 

Kaitlyn & Laura talk through their social media woes and offer some options for how to use social media to help create some normalcy, most of which revolve around TikTok and pretending we understand the language of Gen Z. 

After a (not so) brief hiatus, Kaitlyn and Laura are BACK with some raw, unfiltered mental health #content to get us all through quarantine. We are keeping things low pressure for the indefinite future and even introducing a video component! Check out our Instagram @amotionformentalhealth for a sneak preview. We missed you!!

Kaitlyn intros the episode with a quick announcement. Then, Laura and Kaitlyn continue their discussion with Heidi K. Brown and walk through all seven steps of Heidi's journey to empowered advocacy for introverted lawyers. Heidi shares her happy pill this week and assigns some creative homework!

Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Join Kaitlyn and Laura as they discuss all things introversion with 2-time ABA published author and Brooklyn Law professor Heidi K. Brown. Heidi describes the difference between introverts and extroverts and how being an introvert can make law school and lawyer life difficult to navigate. She shares her personal experiences and how she found her voice in a profession that encourages extroversion. As always, we send you off with some happy pills and homework.

Join Laura and Kaitlyn's conversation with Jim Leffler, Clinical Director of the Virginia Judges and Lawyers Assistance Program (AKA Lawyers Helping Lawyers) as they discuss totems for indicating misbehaving brains, and the bevy of services that VJLAP provides, including lawyer-vetted therapy and wellness groups, 12-step substance abuse recovery groups, therapy facilitation, bar referrals, CLE events, and volunteer opportunities
