Ep. 031 - Balancing BigLaw

Welcome to Attorney Heart, the podcast focused on bringing awareness to and promoting attorney well-being! On the next Attorney Heart episode I interview Reanne Swafford-Harris, who is an attorney at the global law firm Sheppard Mullin. Reanne handles all aspects of employment law and she represents employers in federal and state court in matters ranging from discrimination and harassment to wage and hour lawsuits. Reanne shares how she strives to maintain balance despite an extensive case docket and a very busy work schedule. Reanne focuses on building time to exercise (sometimes even at the office), eating healthy, and connecting with loved ones on the weekend. Reanne provides some very insightful strategies on how you can build in time for yourself if you work at a big law firm. Not an easy task for anyone to do, but Reanne shows that it is not impossible. She also provides great tips if you are planning on taking the bar exam this summer. Solid interview with Reanne who has great energy and is a very centered attorney who uses her time very wisely throughout the day and week. I hope you enjoy this very positive episode! -- New Attorney Heart interviews will be posted on iMATER NOW’s YouTube channel. Attorney Heart is brought to you by iMATER NOW.
