Agony Aunt: Law School Anxiety, Identity & the Fear of Not Being Enough

To close out Season 7 of Stare Indecisis, we are doing something a little different.In this Agony Aunt–style episode, hosts Payal, Iyanu, and Praise bring forward some of the questions many law students quietly carry. Joined by Christina Friesen and Staci Coleman, counsellors for the UVic Faculty of Law, we discuss topics like fear of speaking in class, moral perfectionism, resilience, allyship, burnout, and the pressure to pursue “meaningful” work.We also talk about the anxiety of transitioning from law student to lawyer, and the common fear of being called to the bar and feeling unprepared. The hosts also reflect on the season and share some of the key lessons and insights they are taking away.Thank you for listening to Season 7 of Stare Indecisis. Stay tuned for Season 8!UVic law students can reach Christina at [email protected], and Staci at [email protected] Corporate - Medium1 by LiteSaturation -- https://freesound.org/s/767543/ -- License: Attribution NonCommercial 4.0
