for Lawyers

We have a lot in common:

I’m a woman. You’re a woman.

I’m a lawyer. You’re a lawyer.

I have a busy life.You have a busy life.

So far so good, right?  Okay, how about this:

My life sizzles.  Your life __________ (fizzles; sizzles; sucks).

My relationships fill me up.  Your relationships ____________ (drag you down; are a pain in your ass; fill you up).

My job makes me feel fulfilled.  Your job makes you feel ___________ (beaten up; used up; fulfilled).

My body is something to be glorified. Your body is something to be __________( mistreated; despised; glorified).

For me, life feels amazing and peaceful and gratifying.  For you, life feels __________ and __________ and ___________ ( exhausting; amazing; hopeless; peaceful; crappy; gratifying; disappointing; difficult; exciting).

If our lives don’t match up, what’s missing for you? I can help you figure that out.

That is…

If you’re ready to do something about it. Because you are the only one who can. Stop waiting for someone or something to fix this for you because it is not going to happen. The only one who can fix your life is you.

I coach women lawyers who bust their asses all day long, only to find themselves asking:

What the $%#&.  Is this all there is?

I know, that’s not very lawyer-like, but it’s true, right?

I’m not going to coach you on how to be a better lawyer, or how to be better at anything, quite frankly.

I will coach you to the life you signed up for; to creating the life you imagined you would have by now… the life you thought being a lawyer would give you.

Sometimes all it takes is a change in perspective. Everything can stay the same, but if your perspective changes, your whole world can break open.

This is deep work. It’s not for the faint of heart.

I can be intense.

I can be a pain in your ass.

But you will love me for it. (And hate me… oh well.)

I used to be just like you. Until I figured it out: Being a fancy-pants attorney isn’t enough. You cannot ‘act’ your way to the kind of success you’re longing for.  There is nothing that you can keep doing, and doing, and do-ing, that is going to get you where you really want to go. (As opposed to where everyone expects you to go, including your mother!)

You can’t get to joy if all you’re doing is pain and misery.

I know what’s waiting for you.
