Back when smart-phones were just beginning to saturate the market, I distinctly remember thinking that one of the best features they had to offer was 'Notifications'. Now, of course we'd had text-message notifications for year, but now notifications could come from an almost infinite number of sources. Emails could be read without even unlocking your phone. Health apps could gently nudge us to stand up five minutes at a time. The possibilities seemed endless, but little did we all know at the time how quickly that connectedness would lead to burnout. The same is true in an attorney-client relationship.My guest this week captures this struggle in her newest book, writing, “the way I practiced law had become too emotionally overwhelming [...] but in hindsight, it's a wonder I didn't burnout sooner.”Cindy Rendon is an Attorney specializing in Family Law and Personal Injury matters & the author of, "Judge Me Not: An Attorney's Journey from Burnout to Recovery"Having practiced in both the public and private sectors, in 2012 Cindy would found her own Firm, and while her practice would thrive in the coming decade, Cindy would struggle to balance her desire to help her clients with a need to take care of herself. On this week's episode, she shares her journey & the wisdom gained along the way. Enjoy the show! 

In recent months, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced a ban on “Sharia law and Sharia compounds” in the state, citing longstanding principles that U.S. and Texas law take precedence over conflicting foreign law. This position is reflected in the 2017 American Laws for American Courts statute and in an Attorney General opinion affirming that contracts violating Texas public policy cannot be enforced.These commitments were tested in a North Texas family law case, where an Islamic prenuptial agreement called for disputes to be resolved under religious law. The Texas Supreme Court ultimately stayed the arbitration order and ordered review of the original arbitration agreement for "validity and enforceability."Other recent developments - including video accounts of a Houston imam calling for boycotts of certain businesses and reports of a proposed Muslim-exclusive residential community (“EPIC”) - have prompted legislative responses such as HB 4211, which requires property transfer disclosures and ensures disputes are adjudicated under Texas and U.S. law.How should courts weigh religious arbitration against constitutional and statutory protections? What legal tools exist to address disputes that implicate cultural or religious norms? How can Americans both respect religious diversity and uphold constitutional imperatives?Featuring:Qanta A.

Welcome to A Year and a Day. In this episode, board-certified family law attorney Jaime Davis sits down with relationship coach Johanna Lynn, founder of the Family Imprint Institute, to explore the deep, often invisible emotional patterns we inherit from our families—and how they fuel conflict, especially when divorcing a spouse with narcissistic tendencies.Johanna explains the concept of the family blueprint and how our biography becomes our biology, leading us to fall in love with the familiar, even if it's destructive. She discusses how narcissism develops, why it often appears on a spectrum, and how recurring conflicts in a marriage are really clues to deeper, unacknowledged hurts rooted in our past.Together, Jaime and Johanna delve into the immense emotional toll of divorcing a narcissist, offering guidance on how the non-narcissistic partner can rebuild their sense of self and break the cycle of emotional abuse and blame. Johanna introduces the concept of integrative body psychotherapy as a tool to shift ingrained responses. Finally, they discuss the most important thing a parent can do to protect their children from inheriting harmful patterns and ensure a path toward a more peaceful separation.Need help from Johanna?
