You can be a lawyer, happy and fulfilled! The Happy Lawyer Podcast was created to shine a spotlight on mental health, wellbeing, and innovation from the unique perspective of the legal industry. Born from my journey of overcoming stress, anxiety, and unfulfillment, this podcast is about finding a way to build a practice and a life that you love.
But this podcast isn’t just for lawyers—it’s for all professionals, business owners, and leaders who want to thrive. Tune in for inspiring interviews and diverse perspectives on becoming the best version of ourselves. Learn how to live better, feel better, show up better, and be better.
