The Legal Learning Podcast

So you’ve decided you want to be a lawyer. Great! So now what? 

Obviously Law School, but there is so much more to your legal journey than just getting in and passing the bar.

In case you haven’t heard it yet, there is an amazing podcast that strives to help students save time, money and stress on their legal journey with strategies that begin in college and extend through law school. Through their own knowledge and expert guests, The Legal Learning Podcast teaches listeners how to avoid student loans, how to take better care of yourself, how to be successful from the minute they start law school, how to succeed even with mental health issues, learning differences or children. And learn when it might be time to quit.

If this type of resource had been available to me when I started law school, I may not have racked up $200,000 in student loan debt. But then I also may not have developed systems to pay it off and help others do the same (which I love) so definitely a silver lining. 

During my time as a guest on The Legal Learning Podcast I shared my own legal journey on how I was able to make the switch from making a large salary in Biglaw to taking a 50% pay cut to work for the government and then taking an even larger one to exit law completely.
