Ep 5: from big law litigator to meditation teacher: my Great Resignation

In January 2014, I was a budding Big Law associate attorney at one of the highest-grossing, top litigation firms in the country.

I had shiny degrees from the right Ivy League schools, a growing six-figure salary with yearly 5-figure bonuses. I billed impressive hours each month, had a closet overflowing with all the pin stripe power pencil skirt suits and highest heels, and by all readily-acceptable indicators: I was successful.

And yet, I walked away from it all.

To … teach meditation.

These days, we hear so much about the external socioeconomic and political reasons behind the Great Resignation.

But what about the inner landscape of a major decision like this?

To abandon a "life that looks good on paper," but that comes at too high a cost.

Here I share my own story to help shed some light on a big leap you might be considering too — from safe, compliant, box-checking, hustling & grinding, over-achieving, (burnt-out) perfectionist to ... Well, that's up to you. (Really!).

And I can show you how.
