In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Michael Cohen discuss:Strategies for building and maintaining a successful law practiceThe role of leadership and personal branding in legal careersOvercoming challenges and finding fulfillment in the legal professionThe importance of authenticity, advocacy, and adaptability in professional growth Key Takeaways:When hiring, be financially prepared, follow a "slow to hire, quick to fire" approach, and seek candidates whose goals align with long-term retention.Building a career aligned with passion may require sacrifices, such as taking non-traditional opportunities and traveling extensively to develop expertise and a brand.Law firms can foster equity by diversifying associates' work assignments through structured work tracking systems to prevent pigeonholing.Writing about niche cases or personal interests in law not only builds expertise but also enhances your visibility and credibility as a thought leader. "Each and every one of us is dealing with stuff that nobody else knows about… if we can just understand that fundamental truth and be kind along the way, this whole thing gets an awful lot easier to deal with." —  Michael Cohen Got a challenge growing your law practice?

In today's episode, we're diving into a surprising pattern that sneaks up on high performers: overworking because things feel too easy.  Yep, you heard that right!  We're talking about how overachievers sometimes invent extra work or add complexity because their task load doesn't feel hard enough to be valuable and satisfying.  I'll share examples of what this pattern might actually look like in real life, and we'll unpack why you might feel drawn to make things harder than they need to be.  If you've ever found yourself complicating tasks or feeling uneasy when work is a breeze, this episode is for you!   What you'll learn from this episode:   Why you may resist things being easy, even if you want more ease. 8 (false) assumptions that make people overwork. How the “puritan work ethic” shows up in sneaky ways, even in non-work tasks. The surprising link between overworking and self worth. Real life examples of how this pattern shows up.

I'd venture a guess that many of us would agree that we need job therapy today, or have needed it at some point in our adult lives… and yet most of us have never even heard of it. Our guest on the topic is a leading expert and author, Dr. Tessa West. Tessa is a Professor of Psychology at New York University and an expert in the science of interpersonal communication. She has published over 80 academic articles in psychology's most prestigious journals, and has received multiple grants from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. Tessa's work has been covered by the likes of the New York Times, TIME, Forbes, The Guardian, and the US Supreme Court and many more, and she's the author of the book “Jerks at Work: Toxic coworkers and what to do about them,” and “Job Therapy: Finding work that works for you.” You give too much of your time, talent, energy to your job to be miserable at it. And like relationships, there may be times or stages where you feel stressed and frustrated, disheartened or underappreciated – but not over the long haul.  Make sure you're doing work that works for you. Otherwise, it might be time for some job therapy!

Whether you feel guilty about taking time away from your children to work, spending too much time on your phone while they play, losing your temper in front of them, wanting time alone, or even feeding them the same foods multiple meals in a row, chances are, you've felt your share of mom guilt. But where does that guilt come from and is it really helpful? Tune in for an episode all about mom guilt, why it exists, and what you can do about it (so you can spend more time enjoying your kiddos and less time worrying you're messing them up).   What you'll learn from this episode:   Where mom guilt comes from and why it's so common.

Are there things about yourself that you believe you just can't change? In this episode, I'm diving into a perspective that keeps so many of us stuck: the fixed mindset. It's that voice that says, “I've always been this way” or “It's too late for me to change.” While this way of thinking might feel true and even protective, it often blocks us from growing, trying new things, and living the life we truly want.   This week, I'll break down the hidden costs of a fixed mindset and introduce the power of adopting a growth mindset instead. You'll learn how this shift can unlock your potential, boost your resilience, and open doors you didn't even know were closed.
