375: Chasing Success
In this episode, I'm unpacking a pattern I see so many lawyers fall into: chasing success. For most of us, success is defined by the message we receive from our culture. Those success markers are usually money, status and possessions. External markers of success won't give you what you're really looking for. Success isn't something you achieve. It's who you are. It's your birthright. In this episode of Be a Better Lawyer, you'll learn: ✅ The emotional cost of chasing success ✅ Why you'll never have enough if you believe you need to prove you're successful ✅ Why feeling fulfilled has nothing to do with your resume — and everything to do with your attention You don't have to wait until you reach the next milestone to feel peace, satisfaction, or joy. When you start noticing the beauty in the everyday — when you become present to the links in the chain that make your life possible — you begin to create from a place of fulness and abundance, not lack.

369: Best of...Values Alignment
If you'd asked me years ago what my values were, I would've rattled off a list without much thought. But when I looked at how I was living—how I was spending my time, where my energy was going—it told a different story. That's what this episode is about. Values aren't just words we say we believe in. They're how we show up in our day-to-day life. When our actions don't align with the values we think we hold, something feels off. That's a sign that we're living out of integrity with ourselves. This episode was inspired by a conversation I had with a client who wanted to do a reset. She wanted to reconnect with what matters most and realign how she was showing up in her practice and her life. So if you're feeling that tug—that it's time to take a closer look at how you're living and working—this episode of Be a Better Lawyer is for you. You'll learn how to: Look at your current values with honest awareness Identify whether you're actually living them And begin the process of aligning your actions with what matters most This conversation will help you reconnect with yourself and gain clarity on the kind of lawyer—and human—you want to be.

In this episode of Be a Better Lawyer, I'm joined by special guest Christine Uri, an expert in AI governance, ESG, and making companies more profitable, sustainable and human-centric. We dive deep into the world of AI governance and what every lawyer needs to know as AI continues to shape the legal landscape. Christine shares her insights from years of working in-house at a large energy company, where she held roles as Chief Legal Officer and Chief Sustainability Officer, and how that experience has shaped her understanding of AI governance. She also runs her own company, CURI Insights, where she advises general counsel on ESG and AI governance. What You'll Learn Today: Why AI is already part of your work environment, whether you know it or not. The biggest risks with AI use in law firms and corporate settings, including data privacy and confidentiality. How to approach AI use with caution—especially when it comes to client information and sensitive data. Tips on setting AI policies that make sense for your practice or firm. How younger attorneys might fall into the trap of over-relying on AI-generated content without proper oversight. Practical strategies to balance innovation with caution, keeping your data safe and your practice compliant. Why AI literacy training is becoming essential for every legal team. The importance of understanding both state and federal regulations and how to proactively protect your firm. Christine also talks about the evolving landscape of AI regulation, from the EU's AI Act to U.S. state-level legislation, and why lawyers should stay on top of these changes to protect themselves and their clients.

347: Embracing Your Perfection
Show Notes: Embracing Your Perfection If you've ever felt "not good enough" or caught yourself believing that you're inherently flawed, this episode is for you. I'm taking a deep, honest look at the idea of perfection—not as something to achieve, but as something you already hold within you. We'll explore the structures that taught us to question our worth, what it means to release these layers, and how to reconnect with your truest self. In this episode, I'll share: Why viewing yourself as "flawed" keeps you stuck in shame and struggle How questioning the institutions and beliefs you grew up with can help you find your own truth What it feels like to move from self-criticism to self-trust, and how that shift opens up new possibilities Simple ways to notice when you're judging yourself and choose a more supportive approach How recognizing your innate perfection can help you create more peace, confidence, and fulfillment in every part of your life If you've been holding onto the idea that you need to "fix" yourself to become good enough, it's time to let that go.
