QUOTES

14:30 "I think it's difficult before you enter big law to understand exactly what the cost is going to be. It's not just your time. It is your mental space. It is your emotional bandwidth. It is time with your family. It is a good night's sleep. It's being on call 24/7."

20:55 If you don't set boundaries around how you achieve your goals, then achieving them at any cost is not going to make you feel fulfilled."

25:08 "If I chose not to practice law or move into a different profession altogether, am I still me? And that journey was actually the most beautiful unfolding of a real sense of truth about who I was beyond what I did."

25:37 "When you were in that moment of everything around you sort of crumbling, do you actually start to realize there's a blank canvas in front of you? There's this opportunity to pick up the paintbrush again and not to recreate the world that crumbled around you."

32:39 "You have to be willing to put down any resistance to the lessons that life is bringing to you. If you are confronted with a challenge, you have to be able to welcome and embrace that and ask yourself, what is it here to teach me?"

35:16 "We have a choice on how we evolve in life, on who we become, and that choice exists every single moment. We are never condemned to be a certain way based on what we've experienced in the past, but it takes responsibility and honesty to be able to move forward deliberately, not just through patterns of behavior that we cycle through again and again."

39:40 "Disconnection from spirit is not a permanent state. Resilience requires you to understand what it feels like to be disconnected from spirit."
