#246: Lawyer Self-Advocacy (How To Speak Up, Stand Out)

Oct 6 2026
Lawyers are great at advocating for clients, yet most are terrible at self-advocacy. We need to do better for ourselves. I rarely use the word “should”, but this is one of the times when I make an exception. Self-advocacy is necessary for building a successful and (more importantly) enjoyable legal career. Tune into today’s episode to learn why lawyers tend to be bad at self-advocacy, the necessary mindset shift to begin building this skill, and a simple framework for lawyer self-advocacy that works.

#245: Law Firm Operations (How to Get Hours Back Every Week Through Structure)

Sep 29 2026
Law firm operations might sound like a “boring” topic. But what if I told you that having the right structure in place can save you hours each week? What if I told you that this is key to creating a more balanced life? Those two results are definitely not boring. That's exactly what we get into today on Life & Law. Tune into my conversation with Shireen Hilal to learn why moving away from a "person-centric" system to a "process-centric" structure within your law firm (or practice group) will (a) improve how your law firm operates and (b) give you more hours back each week. Inside today’s episode, you’ll learn: - How law firm leaders and partners become the bottleneck, making it impossible to step away or achieve balance. - How systems improve law firm operations, increase employee engagement and improve client service. - How to implement flexible systems, tailored to client needs, business risk, and unique legal issues.

#244: Stop Hating Law Firm Politics (It's Part of Leadership)

Sep 22 2026
“I hate law firm politics. I don’t like playing games.” Said a client. This is a common sentiment (I hear often from clients). But what if what you're calling ‘politics’ is simply what happens when a group of humans with different experiences, priorities, personalities, values, and agendas work together? And what if, by ignoring all the political stuff, you’re actually hurting yourself (not merely staying above the fray)? Join me to learn how to shift your mindset around law firm politics so you can navigate your law firm's politics authentically and effectively (without any gamesmanship).

Legal Billing: The Cost of Not Billing Regularly

Sep 15 2026
If you think legal billing is just an administrative or collections issue, you're missing something important. How often (and even more importantly, how) you bill your clients impacts more than whether you get paid. It impacts how much you collect, client trust, and whether or not a client will continue sending work your way. Listen to today's episode to learn why that is and how to bill in a way that builds trust with clients (hint: there's more to it than just sending a pretty, well narrated bill).

#242: Permission Not To Grow Your Law Practice

May 26 2026
Grow your law practice. That's the general rule. But what if you're working hard but not enjoying it? What if you're resisting growth?

#240: Values Alignment Isn't Safe (That's the Point): Let's Talk About Antisemitism

May 12 2026
I talk a lot about values alignment (aligning your law practice to your values). But what, precisely, does that look like in practice? Here's the thing: Values that cost you nothing probably aren't values — they're just words you aren't really standing behind. Yet the cost is worth it. Because NOT aligning to your values costs something, too. That's why I was immediately drawn to Ariella Cohen Coleman. She's a lawyer who built a values-aligned law firm and a nonprofit to support the Jewish community. She speaks openly about antisemitism. Even if it makes others uncomfortable. Even though it could cost her something. She is the real thing. This conversation is about so much: - What it actually takes to build a values-aligned practice. - Lawyer wellbeing (and why it's related to peak performance). - The responsibility lawyers have to speak up about antisemitism (and the role we can play to change course). This conversation is powerful. It's important. Be sure to listen. *** Join Success Without Sacrifice https://www.coursecorrectioncoaching.com/connect/ Chapters
