Recovering lawyer & lawyer coach
From the Outside, You’re a Success… But You Can’t Shake the Feeling: “There’s got to be more than this.“
- Never enough time to get everything done (you’re barely squeezing life in).
- Running at a hair-on-fire pace, wondering if you’re actually accomplishing much.
- Spending most of your energy on things that don’t really matter to you – and almost no time on what does.
- Watching colleagues pass you by, wondering what they know that you don’t.
- Wondering what’s left to try (because you’ve exhausted every productivity hack and time management trick – and none of them seem to be enough).
Did you know that 74% of surveyed legal professionals say the profession has negatively impacted their mental health and 50% of lawyers feel a decreased sense of accomplishment?
Statistics further show that over 60% of attorneys feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and anxious most of the time.
No, you’re not alone. The good news?
You do not have to live – or practice – this way.
I’ve been there. Five years into my legal career, I was burning out fast.
But once I rewrote the rules, I went on to build a multi-million dollar practice in BigLaw—all while navigating two kids, the 2008 financial crisis, and breast cancer.
How?
I developed a customizable framework for achieving balanced success without sacrificing well-being.
Now, I’m on a mission to share it – with you.
Hey there, I’m Heather.
Recovering lawyer turned lawyer leadership & business coach (after 18+ years in BigLaw).
According to my clients, I’m an insightful, compassionate (yet no-BS) coach and advisor – known for simplifying what feels complicated and helping you find the answers you’re looking for. So you can build a legal career (and life) that actually works for you.
I traded in my $2.5MM+ practice to help lawyers create the kind of success that doesn’t come at the cost of their well-being.
Although I enjoyed practicing law and built a thriving business, everything shifted after I battled aggressive breast cancer. It led me in an unexpected (and necessary) direction… Here.
I’m here to help you accomplish everything you want as both a lawyer and a person, while staying true to yourself. Part of how I do that is through the Life & Law Podcast – —because I can’t work with everyone, and not everyone wants to hire a coach. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have access to real tools and strategies to help yourself.
My mission is simple. To help you:
- Achieve more of what you want (while doing less),
- Reignite the spark that made you choose the law in the first place, and
- Make life and law fun again.
Here’s what I’ve learned after 18+ years in practice and building a multi-million-dollar book of business:
1. Being a lawyer isn’t who you are.
Yes, you chose this profession for a reason. There was purpose – maybe even passion – behind that choice.
But lawyering isn’t all of who you are.
You’re so much more. (And I say this because far too many lawyers lose themselves over time.)
The good news? When you reconnect with what makes you uniquely you – your values, strengths, and priorities – you can leverage them. That’s how life and law get easier (and way more enjoyable). It also makes you a better leader, communicator, and lawyer.
Win – Win – Win.
2. You MUST put yourself first if you want to be your best.
Lawyers are conditioned to believe we must put clients above all else – including ourselves.
But that belief?
It’s a lie. And it’s harming us.
(There’s a reason the legal profession has above-average rates of stress, anxiety, depression, and burnout.)
The truth? It’s not either/or.
When you prioritize your well-being, you’ll be better (not just feel better). A better parent, spouse, friend, colleague – and yes, lawyer.
Another win – win.
The Life & Law Podcast is here to show you how to take better care of YOU—while reconnecting to the passion and purpose that made you want to be a lawyer in the first place.
Because when you do? You’ll achieve much more… while doing less.
