I’m not cut out for this...They’re going to figure it out.
That’s what I told myself about 3 weeks into my legal career. And to deal with it, I did what I’d always done…
I doubled down, striving to be perfect.
No wonder I ended up burning out!
I made a lot of mistakes that put me on that path. The worst might have been not sharing how I felt with anyone.
I didn’t want to be known as the one who couldn’t hack it.
If only I’d taken a few minutes to clearly analyze my fellow associates. Their facial expressions and body language showed how they really felt… I wasn't the only one.
Not sharing what I was going through was isolating. Which convinced me to keep working harder… until I had nothing left to give.
There’s a reason attorneys suffer from stress, anxiety and depression at higher rates (we're perfectionists who overthink everything).
Lawyers aren’t the only ones who suffer in this way.
That’s why I brought Nicole Miller onto the podcast to talk about her recent battle with burnout and depression.
Listen to Nicole >>>here for hope, then follow her lead by doing something about it.
