Ep.56/ Reinventing Your Career To Suit Your Lifestyle
LISTEN NOW
Early in my career, I struggled with the feeling of not fitting the conventional mold of a successful lawyer. My interests spanned beyond the legal realm into business, personal development, and health and wellbeing. At the time, the legal industry didn't seem to accommodate diverse interests, and I felt a constant struggle to conform.
Empowering Women in the Legal Profession
Many women face similar challenges, leading them to question their place in the legal profession. The belief that they must change themselves to fit the mold often results in talented individuals leaving the law, not because they don't want to be lawyers, but because they feel they don't belong.
Reclaiming Control Over Your Career
My mission is rooted in empowering women to reclaim control over their careers, fostering confidence and enabling them to shape their careers authentically. It's about crafting a career that aligns with who you are, rather than contorting yourself to fit an industry-defined mold.
The Significance of a Meaningful Career
Reflecting on why creating a meaningful career is essential, we delve into the impact on your life and energy. This episode is not a call for climbing corporate ladders or relentless pursuit of success; instead, it's an exploration of connecting with your 'why' and envisioning a career that seamlessly integrates with your lifestyle.
Balancing Work and Life
As we explore the significance of a meaningful career, consider the lifestyle you desire. Our careers are integral to our lives, and finding a balance that aligns with your values is key. Additionally, the energy derived from a fulfilling career influences how you show up in both your professional and personal life.
Making an Impact
A meaningful career allows you to make an impact, fulfil a part of yourself that seeks to contribute to something greater, and ultimately feel good about what you do. It's not about expecting your career to fulfil every aspect of your life; rather, it's about aligning it with your values and aspirations.
Reflecting on Your Career Journey
Reflect on why you started on this journey as a lawyer, and consider how you want your career to evolve. Even if you're years into your career, it's never too late to reinvent yourself. Take a step back, ask yourself the important questions, and envision the next phase of your career.
