Leaving the law, leaving your job, leaving anything is a big step for many. But leaving your law career just as you are a few years from retirement is risky to some and admirable to others.
Today I'm speaking with former trial lawyer, Renee Pardo who has done just this. She changed her career path after 30 years in law and years before qualifying for her pension.
So many people get to the end of their careers and regret not starting a business or leaving earlier. But today Renee is here to share her story about being a woman in law and about how she made the shift from lawyer to entrepreneur.
Renée Gloria Pardo is a former trial attorney with 30 years of legal experience. She spent the majority of her career trying criminal cases as a prosecutor and neglect and abuse cases in family court.
She is now a certified executive life coach and founder of Renee Pardo Coaching LLC where she primarily coaches women lawyers.
She can be reached at [email protected] and on LinkedIn.

In this behind-the-scenes episode, you'll learn about the mentality, psychology and insight into why I asked the questions I did on Brandon Renken's episode (called Lack of Trust: The Hidden Mental Health Crisis in Law?) and what I wanted to achieve for the audience.
Here is the full episode:
https://open.spotify.com/episode/7KDXxbOnGvnfwTwaDzK6gI
It is no secret that there are problems with well-being and mental health in the legal industry. Burnout, anxiety, stress.
Brandon Renken Trial Partner at Mayer Brown has some interesting insights into leadership and how communication and being direct with people instead of avoiding important topics is vital to helping the mental health epidemic in law.
Some leaders are afraid of having direct conversations with employees because they think it's more detrimental to mental health according to Brandon.
We talk about what it takes to get to trial partner and share our stories and experiences of culture and good and bad leadership in law.
Is the key to changing the mental health problems in the legal sector trust?

People are more picky about where they work, people are prioritising their mental health. This means law firms that don't consider this will potentially fall behind.
Bad leadership and toxic people can massively impact your well being. I've been there myself. In this chat with Liz Smith, Legal Headhunter, we cover how law firms can stand out as good places to be, how people can start recognizing non toxic places, and the future of law jobs.
Join us as we explore how the demand for work-life balance, remote work, and freelance/consultancy opportunities are challenging the established norms of legal practice.

We see lawyers as these highly confident, unstoppable machines. But in reality, many of them are struggling to keep their head above water. That's what Harley Street performance and anxiety specialist Olivia tells me.
Most partners and senior lawyers say they have had imposter syndrome at some point, especially women. In this episode, we get to the science and psychology behind imposter syndrome, why lawyers get it and how to combat it.
What's interesting is that imposter syndrome can actually lead to people working longer hours to try and improve themselves, not being comfortable to ask questions, being afraid to stand up for themselves, and staying in toxic work cultures because they don't feel they're good enough to work anywhere else. I'm sure that this will resonate with many lawyers.
Olivia James specializes in helping legal professionals overcome performance anxiety. We talk about the science behind why we can get hot and flustered and lose the ability to talk and think whilst in important meetings, pitches or presentations and how our stress levels can be linked to our ability to speak in a courtroom or in a meeting.
Get in touch with Olivia James here.

Too many lawyers get halfway through their careers and are just not fulfilled. They dread Monday mornings, and most days are a chore.
If this is you, this is your sign to approach things differently. In this episode, I'm talking with Emma Roche. She is a practicing Legal 500 lawyer with a side business as a philosophical life coach.
She is proof that you can continue in your legal role (if you love it) whilst also living your purpose and doing what you're passionate about, if it isn't law.
Emma is a Certified Integrative Coach having completed an evidence based Accredited Certificate in Integrative Coaching with the School of Positive Transformation. She is also trained as a philosophically informed life coach.
Visit Emma's website here: https://www.emma-roche.com/
Emma is also of counsel (Commercial Real Estate) at BDB Pitmans.
"Aristotle talks about eudaimonia and flourishing, and what we have to do to flourish. "Flourishing" being a kind of happiness where you are just constantly growing."
Background:
Emma has had a lifelong passion for philosophy that began in school. Driven by her enthusiasm, she successfully campaigned to have philosophy added to the A-level syllabus. This early dedication led her to pursue a degree in philosophy at university. Now, she's come full circle, using philosophy as a practical tool for seeking clarity and understanding in her own life and in helping others.

We all have different reasons for choosing our paths, no story is the same. No journey is the same. Our WHY is personal to us.
The whole purpose of this podcast is to promote the idea of living a fulfilling life, whatever that means to you. For many, that involves flexibility, freedom, and working on your own terms, doing what you love.

We talk about the number one question that everybody wants to know. How do you get clients to sustain your digital nomad lifestyle?
We share how we get clients, why putting ourselves out there to attract our ideal clients is a must and how networking and nurturing good business relationships is absolutely key.

In this episode, I talk to Jono Randell-Nash who quit his secure and steady law job to become a financial planner. Jono had a 6-month financial plan in place before he made the jump from employee to being his own boss.
He talks about the careful planning and saving involved before he made this huge career transition and how you can put plans in place to do the same.
Jono realised he was in the wrong career and his passions were elsewhere. So he started saving and putting a cash flow spreadsheet together to work out how he could support himself and his family. The rest is history!
