Ep. 05 - If Not Litigation, Then What?

What do you do when you realize you can’t keep practicing law the way you’ve been trained to?In the last episode, I shared the story of why I stepped away from litigation.This episode is about what came next.I didn’t leave with a plan. I just knew I couldn’t keep doing what I was doing.In the process of figuring out what else was possible, I was introduced to a world of approaches most lawyers never learn about—mediation, integrative law, and coaching.Not as abstract ideas, but as real ways of working with people in conflict that felt fundamentally different from litigation.In this episode, I share:• what surprised me about mediation• how I discovered alternative approaches to practicing law• and how coaching changed the way I think about helping people navigate conflictThis isn’t a roadmap. It’s an exploration of what becomes possible when you start asking a simple question: What if the way we’ve been trained isn’t the only way?
