If you've ever felt guilty for wanting something different, or worried that shifting directions means you made a mistake, this conversation will help reframe those thoughts. Learn why it's normal to outgrow a legal career, and how to start thinking about what's next with more clarity and less pressure. See show notes at formerlawyer.com/263
