Om Podcasten

This podcast was created to empower women lawyers just like you to create a life and practice you love. As an advocate, you spend your days in service to others, fighting their battles and putting their needs first. But at the end of the day, you can be left feeling tired, overwhelmed, and like you’re missing out on something more. While you’ve mastered the skills of forecasting risks, solving problems, and working hard, those skills may not be helping you create the life and practice you want: one that brings you more joy. This podcast is your time away from the daily hustle to focus on taking care of you: seeing where you’re stuck, figuring out what you truly want and learning skills that will help you define and create success on your own terms. Tune in every week and join Paula Price, litigator turned certified executive coach, as she shares practical tools you can use to define and create success on your own terms. If you’re over the overwhelm, done with putting out fires and ready to stop letting perfectionism hold you back from going after what you really want, this podcast is for you.
