Powerhouse Lawyers

This week on Powerhouse Lawyers, we connect with Courtney Spencer on how her love for children transformed her career into family and special education law [06:27]. Unfortunately, the “busy” hamster wheel we all find ourselves on landed Courtney in the hospital! [08:39] It sounds boring, cliche and predictable, but the answer to recovering from burnout is no secret. Courtney started with small and manageable tasks: making her health and wellness a priority and learning to say no. [16:22] Easier said than done! Courtney and I talk about how to use peer and self coaching as a tool to make massive changes. [23:47] You know, I’ll shout it from the rooftops! The partnering of coaching and community saves lives and careers [32:42] and reminds us that imposter syndrome is a liar for who it tells us to believe we are! [40:44] We wrap up the show with a Legally Blonde Moment [43:43] involving a bag of money and sticky fingers!
