Washington-based estate planner Andrea Lauritzen is a powerhouse. But she didn't always see the power she had inside herself. She was a new partner who felt overwhelmed. She'd tried a lot of things to overcome it, but nothing worked...until coaching. In this episode of Be a Better Lawyer, you'll hear how Andrea went from waking up feeling like her day was out of her control to creating her day powerfully and intentionally. This didn't happen overnight. It took tiny changes for her to create the life she wanted. She goes into detail about these changes step-by-step. You'll learn: ✅ the very first step on her path to create the life she wanted (a step EVERY lawyer must take) ✅ how indecision and perfectionism short-changed herself and her ability to grow her practice area ✅ the mentality Andrea cultivated to stop believing her brain's limiting beliefs about what was possible for her ✅ how she changed her relationship with networking from questioning whether she belonged in the room to enjoying it and using it to grow her practice ✅ and so much more! Listen until the end because we share several keys to changing your life and intentionally creating the life you want.   WORK WITH ME I help lawyers take control of their practice, find fulfillment and create a life they love.

Ever feel like you're behind in your law practice? Maybe you've told yourself you just need more discipline, or that if you could work harder and do more, you'd finally get ahead. This mindset is what I call the Myth of More. It's one of the biggest traps for overwhelmed lawyers. The Myth of More runs deep in the legal profession, keeping attorneys stuck in long hours, constant stress, and feeling like they can never catch up. In this episode of Be a Better Lawyer Podcast, you'll learn: ✅ How the Myth of More sabotages lawyer productivity and fuels burnout ✅ Why "doing more" is actually the least effective time management strategy for lawyers ✅ What you really need to focus on to increase productivity, reduce overwhelm, and enjoy your life and law practice If you've ever struggled with time management or felt like no matter how much you do it's never enough, this episode of Be a Better Lawyer will help you shift into a new way of practicing law -- one that's more productive, sustainable, and fulfilling.

Let's change the world one lawyer at a time. If you're feeling stuck, burned out, or unfulfilled in your law practice, you're not the only lawyer who feels that way, but it's not for the reason that you think. In this episode of Be a Better Lawyer Podcast, Master Coach for lawyers and former criminal prosecutor Dina Cataldo reveals the #1 reason lawyers don't love their lives — and it's not your workload, your clients, or your boss. Instead, it's something buried in your subconscious — and it's completely changeable. In this episode you'll discover: ✅ The subconscious structures silently shaping your decisions ✅ Real-life examples of lawyers who've broken free of their structures and built practices they love ✅ How to honor your internal guidance system to create a life you love Whether you want more time for yourself, to grow your practice without burnout, or to simply feel happier in your work, this episode will help you start creating a law practice (and a life) you actually love (instead of one you simply tolerate).  

How often do you pay attention to the words you speak? Your words reveal where you're holding yourself back, and they will reveal your next level if you listen carefully. In this episode of Be a Better Lawyer, I share how one lawyer's words revealed his thoughts about his rates and why he was having a difficult time raising them. If you notice yourself holding yourself back from taking actions towards your goals, pay attention to how you talk about your goal and the actions you need to take to achieve it. Your words will reveal what you need to take yourself to the next level. Want to apply what you're learning on the podcast?

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.   Ready to take what you're learning on the podcast even deeper?   WORK WITH DINA Dina helps lawyers like you take control of your practice, find fulfillment and create a life you love.

Vacations are meant to restore you — but for most lawyers, they feel anything but restorative. 🔹 You worry what clients or colleagues will think about you that you're taking time off. 🔹 You worry about emails while laying on the beach. 🔹 You worry about coming back to a tidal wave of emails, tasks, and pressure to "catch up." It's no wonder you may not feel like you took a vacation at all. In this episode of Be a Better Lawyer, I walk you through the 3 steps you must complete before you leave for a vacation, so your time away from the office actually does what it's supposed to: 🔸 restore your energy,  🔸reset your nervous system, and 🔸help you come back clear and focused. These 3 steps are simple—but powerful. And they're the key to taking a guilt-free vacation. Let's make time off feel like time off.

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, you'll learn: How your brain confuses fiction and reality Five thoughts ("programs") you'll want to eliminate You'll also learn how to intentionally brainwash yourself to create the life and law practice you want This episode isn't about Pollyanna positivity or ignoring challenges. It's about taking back the steering wheel from the survival-focused part of your mind—and learning how to lead your practice with calm, clarity, and intention. If you want different results, you must learn to think differently. Listen in to learn how.

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. If you're curious about how AI could impact your practice—or worried about the potential risks—you'll want to listen in to this episode.
