Lawyer Burnout Is Valid Even If You Don't Have Kids

Experiencing lawyer burnout but telling yourself you shouldn't be struggling because you don't have kids or a partner? You're not alone. Many single and childless lawyers dismiss their burnout because they think others have it harder.  In this episode, Sarah addresses why lawyer burnout is valid regardless of your relationship status or family situation. She explains how lawyers participate in "misery Olympics," comparing struggles instead of acknowledging that toxic work environments affect everyone's mental health.  If you're a single or childless lawyer struggling with burnout, this episode will help you stop gaslighting yourself and start taking your mental health seriously.
