From Hostage To Hero Sari de la Motte

Can you believe we've hit the finale of Season 6?!? 
And let me tell you.
We are ending it with a BANG!

(Not just because I had a little accident a few episodes ago. 💩🫣)
We are wrapping up in June because I'm taking the entire month of July off.
Now, let's dive into today's hot topic.
What if the H2H Method DOESN’T work? 
*cue shock* 😱
I got an email asking me to talk to someone who tried my method at trial and it backfired. 
My response? 
Absolutely NOT. 
Tune in to find out why. 👇🏽
Xo,
Sari

“This work is hard. Trial lawyering is a craft. It takes time, it takes patience, it takes blood and sweat and failure and success and then more failure and a shit ton of practice before you get any good at it. So my question to you is, do you want to spend the years, I'm talking years, that it takes to get really, really good at this? Or do you want to spend that time trying every new method, reading every new book, getting distracted by the shiny new toy? I'm going to suggest that we get to fucking work. It does not have to be the H2H method. I don't care what it is that you're committing to. All I want you to do is to commit to it and stop going to trial and trying the thing once and being like, "This thing doesn't work. So onto the next." This is a craft.”

“This is an intentional piece to doing something for yourself—breathing and checking in with your body. Your time blocking is something that's incorporated with actually giving yourself the time, so you can do transitions. The breathing and checking in with your body is essential so you can do the transition AND bring yourself to that transition.”

Quote:
"Taking meticulous good care of yourself, eating nutritious food, drinking lots of water, getting a lot of rest—these are not things that you should hope that you do one day. These are ESSENTIAL for being a trial lawyer. The more you push yourself, the more you get less sleep, eat crap food, don't drink your water, and subsist on coffee, the more you're going to be in your fight or flight response because that is a biological reality. So taking excellent care of yourself will also help you reduce that fight or flight response, put your parasympathetic nervous system online, and give you more access to that prefrontal cortex."

WHY. THE. HELL. DO. YOU. AVOID. VACATIONS?!? 
Here’s the deal—
Vacations are not a LUXURY.
They are a NECESSITY.

Treat yourself because your job is f*****g HARD, and for you to be at your best and continue serving your clients, you need to fill your own cup first.
Not to mention— burnout SUCKS, and your prefrontal cortex needs a break, damn it! 
Xo,
Sari
P.S. Don’t forget to download my podcasts to listen to on the plane so you are not bored traveling to your dream vacYAY. 😎
 
Quote:
“Vacation is important, because it's taking that very important time for self-care. You are what matters in trial. First and foremost, you are the person who is going to evoke emotion in jurors, you are the one that is going to set the tone at trial, you are the one that's going to nail the defense to the wall. You are the one that is going to be up crazy ass hours at trial, you are the one that has to deal with the crazy opposing counsel and all the discovery and weird ass clients and all the rest of it. If there was anybody that needed to take a vacation and many vacations, it's y'all, so the self-care aspect is huge and helpful in keeping you at your prime.”

"We were programmed to think, 'Well, jurors are against us. They're for the bad side.' We go with that. Our whole jury selection is based on, 'Pick out the bad guys. Find the bad guys, kick them out.' Never did I think about, 'Well, is that really true?' Jurors that I've talked to, a lot of times, they're just like us. They're no different than us. So why can't we communicate in that realm that they're not bad guys? We just need to communicate with them."
