For years, I believed perfectionism was the key to being a great lawyer. I triple-checked every brief, obsessed over every detail, and beat myself up over the smallest mistakes. But instead of making me better, it left me anxious, second-guessing myself, and disconnected from my purpose.
In this episode of The Free Lawyer, I share what finally helped me break free from perfectionism and embrace a mindset rooted in excellence, not flawlessness. You'll hear courtroom stories, the reframing techniques that shifted my perspective, and how choosing imperfection over performance led to more authentic advocacy. We’ll also explore why self-compassion is essential for success and how authenticity builds deeper client trust.
