    Jumping into another Semester (Before I am Ready)

    Welcome to Legaltini!  In this episode I share how I'm preparing for this semester even though I don't really feel rested or prepared.

I'm leaning into that and sharing how adjusting my perspective has helped me. In this episode I cover: Organizing my tools Planning out my study schedule Prioritizing self-care and relationships Shifting my perspective Thanks for listening, and don't forget to rate/review/subscribe below!

    Big Law Summer: Tips for Success (Part 3)

    Welcome back to Legaltini!  This is the third and final podcast in my series on my summer internship at a Big Law firm. In the first two episodes I discussed what big law even is, what to do to land a summer associate position at a Big Law firm, and some common pitfalls to avoid. In this week's episode, I share what things to do once you finally land a summer internship (at a big or small firm). There are two things firms are looking for and one thing they are absolutely NOT looking for. I also share my tips for time management and getting the work done once you get started!  Thanks for listening, and don't forget to rate/review/subscribe below! Cheers y'all *clink*
