They Said Get Another Nanny: with Jessie Brown","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":2542,"description":"Jessie Brown wanted to be a writer. She was an English major doing an MFA in creative nonfiction when she lost both of her parents and realized she had no financial safety net. So she did the practical thing and went to law school.\nThat pattern, choosing the safe path over the one that actually fit, followed her for the next two decades. It picked her practice area. It kept her in litigation long after her body was telling her something was wrong. It even had her enrolled in a backup master's program while she was already building the business she actually wanted.\nToday Jessie is a coach and retreat facilitator working with attorneys at every stage, from brand new associates to partners planning their exit. She's also a trained forest bathing guide, sound healer, breathwork facilitator, and meditation teacher, and she leads nature-based retreats in Sedona.\nThis conversation is about what it takes to finally stop letting fear pick your life for you.\nIn this episode we cover:\nWhy she chose law school after losing both parents and having no safety net\nThe senior partner who told a room of young female associates the truth about how she \"had it all\"\nThe annual review where she offered to resign and was told to hire a second nanny\nLeaving, staying home, moving across the country, and sitting for a second bar exam on her own dime\nThe deposition that made her physically ill and changed her practice area\nStepping down from the partner track and taking a pay cut to do work that fit her\nThe Clifton Strengths result that finally explained why everything felt so hard\nBeing the unofficial office therapist for her entire career and what it was telling her\nThe safety-seeking part of her that picks every path, and how she learned to spot it\nWhat actually happens to a nervous system on a retreat, and why in-person still matters\n\nConnect with Jessie Brown:\nWebsite: jessiebrown.org\nEmail: jessie@jessiebrown.org\nLinkedIn: Jessie Brown\nPodcast: Aligned\nWork with Erin Gerner: Erin...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/_GScSjv2YWWc8k0t9F0DEBXrHFUOTcZy3Cqt81QrOr0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yMDM3/MWQ1MTE1NWM4NWNm/OTE5Yjk5ZTY0ZDkx/ODA2Ni5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
