42 Why Are We So Busy Telling Everyone That We're Lawyers? | Interview with Whitney Harvey
from The Zen Desk Podcast · host Laura Lange
Today, I talk to Whitney Harvey, the Principal of The Self Coached Lawyer, LLC, a company based out of the Phoenix, Arizona area. After successfully litigating for 12 years, she chose to step away from practicing law, focusing instead on helping lawyers thrive personally and professionally.We talk about the “lawyer identity” phenomenon. A lot of (aspiring) lawyers are “guilty” of this trend and it starts pretty early on in law school. As soon as we get drawn into the world of law, we start to identify as “law students” or “lawyers”. It becomes part of our identity and who we are quickly fades into the background as we begin to introduce ourselves as “law students” or “lawyers” to those around us. In this episode we explore why this happens and what we can do to connect back to other areas of our personality and identity so we can zoom out and remind ourselves that we are so much more than lawyers (or whatever profession you are in). We have many other sides and identities to explore but sometimes it feels like we need to hide it when we go to work. So what can we do to merge all our different personality traits? Tune into this episode to hear more. If you're interested to learn more about Whitney, you can find her on Instagram @theselfcoachedlawyer or visit her website.
