In summer, I alongside my co-host had a discussion with Leah Steele. Leah was a lawyer but after burnout in 2014 decided that we should not all be bound to burn out. From this Leah founded Searching for Serenity<\/a>. During this podcast, Leah discusses burnout in the legal profession as well as perfectionism and making the move from university to the big wide world.<\/p>\n

Leah: “Stress is built in to the job of the lawyer; it’s our job to become aware of where perfectionism and the need to prove ourselves makes that stress, toxic.”<\/p>\n

Do you need coffee to wake up in the morning? Do you wake up tired? Do you feel the need to say yes to everything? Need to continually prove yourself? If so, listen to this podcast!<\/p>\n
