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.
