Dina Cataldo knows what it's like to feel completely overwhelmed by the demands of being a lawyer. As a former criminal prosecutor, she worked long hours, prioritized everything except herself, and thought stress was just part of the job—until she was forced to rethink everything. After a life-changing health diagnosis, Dina began a journey to redefine success and take control of her time, energy, and mindset. Now, as a Master Certified Coach for Lawyers, she helps attorneys do the same. In this episode, Dina shares how lawyers can break free from stress, manage their time more effectively, and build practices that support their lives—not the other way around.Lawyer Side HustlesDina's journey into entrepreneurship didn't start with coaching—it started with tea. Wanting to try something new, she launched a loose-leaf tea business, thinking it would be an exciting way to explore business ownership. But as she learned more about entrepreneurship and business strategy, she realized that selling physical products wasn't where her true passion lay.“I created a business I don't actually like. I don't like having a physical product. I don't necessarily want to be tied down to this model that I currently have and I'm not really energized towards growing this,” shares Dina Cataldo in Episode 183 of You Are a Lawyer.Rather than forcing herself to continue with something that didn't excite her, she pivoted. She applied what she had learned from running a business to a field she was deeply passionate about—coaching. Now, through Be A Better Lawyer Coaching, she teaches attorneys how to work smarter, manage their time more effectively, and build fulfilling careers without burning out. Her experience highlights that side hustles aren't just about extra income—they're a way to experiment, grow, and ultimately find the work that truly lights you up.LISTEN TO LEARNHow to set boundaries, take control of your time, and eliminate overwhelmWhy mindset shifts are the key to breaking free from burnout and stressHow to create a legal career that supports your personal and professional goalsWE ALSO DISCUSSDina's journey from prosecutor to full-time coach for lawyersThe importance of prioritizing yourself—before your career forces you toHow small changes in your routine can transform your productivity and well-beingJoin the FREE mailing list!Get behind-the-scenes content from You Are A Lawyer. 1) Visit www.youarealawyer.com2) Add your email address to the Subscribe pop-up box OR3) Enter your email address on the right side of the screen4) Get emails from me (I won't fill your inbox with junk)!Interact with You Are A LawyerKyla Denanyoh hosts the You Are A Lawyer podcast. Follow the podcast:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@youarealawyerWebsite: https://www.youarealawyer.com

Raise your hand if you've been feeling a little overwhelmed with all of life's responsibilities lately. Our inboxes are always full, and our social feeds are always filled with everyone's nonstop accomplishments. We're in a perpetual juggling act between work, parenting, relationships, and our health (the latter of which usually gets bumped to the back burner). There's always more to do and less time to do it in. These girlies are tired. So this week we're saying goodbye to hustle culture, getting to the bottom of all this burnout, and re-learning how to prioritize our wellbeing. Burnout continues to skyrocket as we take on side hustles and chase the elusive “more” – but the good news is there are real, actionable ways to beat it and prevent it from coming back! But we're no experts, so we called in Chloe Wilde to teach us how she overcame burnout and built a business on balance and wellness.Chloe is a reporter, TV host on Canada's #1 Entertainment show, ETALK,  and founder of the Healthy Is Hot app and podcast She has interviewed some of the biggest names in entertainment, from Meryl Streep and Robert Downey Jr., to Kate Winslet and Zac Efron.

You're juggling multiple priorities, deadlines are looming, and your emotions are running wild. It's easy to feel stuck in a whirlwind of chaos. You are overwhelmed. But is this emotional or practical overwhelm? They are different, and the tactics to deal with them are also different. Emotional overwhelm occurs when you feel overloaded or unable to cope with the intensity of your feelings. Common signs of emotional overwhelm include feeling anxious, stressed, frustrated. Sometimes, emotional overwhelm emerges when you're avoiding something big in your life. It could be a difficult conversation. It could be a crucial change. But it cannot be fixed with just a bubble bath. Practical overwhelm, on the other hand, signals a gap between your tasks and your resources. You have too much to handle or manage within the available time or resources. Understanding the distinction between emotional and practical overwhelm can help identify the root causes and find appropriate solutions. And this is what I'll do in our time together. What I mention in this episode:Difference between emotional and practical overwhelm Ways of analyzing emotional overwhelmWhy practical overwhelm is easier to identify (but this is why sometimes we don't do anything to deal with it) What you'll learn from it:How to identify the type of overwhelm you're experiencingHow to discover what you're avoiding in your life if you deal with emotional overwhelmActions you can take to reduce practical overwhelmImportance of establishing minimal acceptable standardsI hope you can extract a golden nugget from this episode to handle overwhelm with compassion and love. xo, KavethaPS- It's one thing to know what brings you joy and how to access those moments, and it's another thing to be present while you're actually engaging in those situations.

As a creative person, you should expect to feel blocked from time to time—It's what you do when you feel blocked that can separate you from the next.

Today we welcome author coach and marketing mentor Kelly Weekes to the podcast. We talk about:Ways to reframe comparisonitisHow to tackle overwhelmWhy it's important for authors to prioritise self-careHow to deal with rejection and criticismAbout Kelly WeekesKelly has been involved with books and publishing for almost her whole working life from when she first started out as a bookseller through to senior marketing roles at HarperCollins and Hodder&Stoughton where she oversaw the marketing across the adult list. She has worked with household brand name authors like Stephen King and Jodi Picoult, launched debut authors and has worked on a broad selection of non-fiction authors.Since starting her own business, Kelly's focus has been to mentor authors (and some book related organisations) through the process of marketing themselves and their books.Being an author presents all sorts of mindset and confidence challenges that Kelly became more and more aware of through her marketing work with authors. Common challenges are a fear of being visible, how to handle rejection and comparisonitis, lack of self belief, loss of confidence, overwhelm, burnout and procrastination.Through working with a coach herself for a number of years, Kelly recognised the power of coaching to transform people's performance through working with their mindset. She wanted to take the power of coaching and use it to support authors.Last year she became an accredited coach (Institute of leadership and Management) and now works with her coaching clients to help them past any challenges they face in their author careers.Her real passion is helping existing authors who have been writing and published for a while, but have fallen out of love with their careers for whatever reason and are feeling really negative, reignite their passion for their writing again and to move forward. Nothing beats the satisfaction of seeing an author client who has been feeling burnout and overwhelmed, or has stopped writing altogether, start writing again with ease and positivity.Kelly has delivered workshops and talks on marketing and mindset for organisations like The Independent Publishers Guild, The London Writers Cafe, Byte the Book, The Novelry and Bookmachine. She is a member of the Institute of Leadership and Development.When she is not working, or has her head in a book, Kelly is often running around after her young sons. In the last year she has also started Kickboxing and has fallen in love with sea swimming, managing to swim almost every week throughout the winter.Key TakeawaysPressure on ourselves is constraining for our creativityIf you're suffering from comparisonitis think about what is triggering you. There's often a message there. Flip it to show you what's possible for you too.The time you spend worrying about what other people are doing is a wasteDealing with criticism - Know from the outset that not everyone is going to like you and that's OKIt's important to take negative reviews with a pinch of saltQuoteIf we don't have self-belief and confidence it's hard to put ourselves out there and be visible and talk about our books and projectsConnect with Kelly WeekesWebsiteInstagramCreating Confident Authors Facebook GroupConnect with Victoria BennionBook your free podcast guesting strategy session today.To learn more about working with us visit
