    131: Set Boundaries and Reclaim Your Time

    131: Set Boundaries and Reclaim Your Time

    This week’s content is based on a workshop I recently ran with my mastermind group about time and boundaries. We often talk about creating work-life balance and identifying the boundaries that we need to set up between those two worlds. However, it’s not uncommon to feel out of control when it comes to prioritizing and protecting what’s most important to us.
     
    Listen in this week as I invite you to question who owns your time. I’m guiding you through a time audit process that will reveal so much to you about what you’re making time for and whether it belongs on your calendar, how time and boundaries relate to each other, what it means to consider the pacing of your career, and how to exercise your decisions with confidence.

    128: How to Channel Your Inner Mentor

    We get all sorts of inputs from the society we live in about how we should be living our lives.

    Discover how to channel your inner mentor. Hear why we aren’t practiced at tapping into the quiet whispers of wisdom we already have within us, the limits to looking outside of ourselves for the right answer, and an exercise that will help you get to know yourself better and hear the advice your inner mentor has to offer.

A Must Listen!

This podcast tackles the questions I’m constantly facing. Paula Price provides actionable advice that has greatly impacted me and my practice. I quit my big law job to launch my own boutique immigration practice and this podcast helps me manage things and get out of my own way. This is a must listen for anyone balancing life and law!

Excellent podcast for women lawyers

I stumbled on this podcast via Audible while on parental leave and I couldn’t be happier about it. Working in big law, now with three kiddos, is not for the faint of heart, and this podcast is just what I am needing to restore myself and prepare for my return to practice after my leave. Each episode is right on point with a thought-provoking lesson and practical tips I can apply to my practice and life. The podcast is also optimistic about a woman’s ability to create and maintain a joyful law practice, which is a welcomed change from the usual doom and gloom that I often hear about being a woman and mom in the practice.
