  Managing Stress and Cravings During Demanding Seasons with Michele Perron

  Dec 22, 202542 min

  Stress affects women in ways we're rarely taught to recognize—especially during demanding seasons at work and at home. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Michele Perron about stress-driven cravings, women's wellbeing, and what safe, moderate drinking actually looks like for women. We explore why cravings tend to show up under stress and how alcohol affects women differently, particularly when it comes to hormones, sleep, and mood. We discuss topics including: What's happening in a woman's body under chronic stress and why cravings occur; How alcohol affects women differently than men; The role cultural expectations around alcohol play for women; Practical, real-life strategies for managing cravings without shame or extremes; What moderation truly looks like for women; and How to support your wellbeing while still enjoying your life. This is a thoughtful, practical conversation for anyone navigating a full, high-pressure season.

  Jul 31, 202337 min

  The legal profession demands a lot of lawyers. But what happens when you're spread so thin that you make a mistake? It's not an exaggeration to say that your entire career and future could be affected. In my latest podcast episode, I talk with Hilary Gerzhoy , Vice Chair of HWG's Legal Ethics and Malpractice Group, about the direct connection between overwork and bar disciplinary proceedings. We explore topics including: How bar disciplinary proceedings arise for good lawyers who are overstretched; What lawyers who have gone through bar disciplinary proceedings say they would have done differently regarding setting boundaries when overstretched at work; Who bears the risk of being overstretched; The most important thing that lawyers can do to avoid working past their limit; The warning signs and signals that often precede making mistakes; What NOT to do when you're overworked; How family commitments can particularly make lawyers vulnerable to being overstretched; and How to prioritize your to-do list to avoid making a career-altering or career-ending mistake. If you're a practicing lawyer, you're going to want to hear this episode! Full show notes are available here: https://happylawmom.com/ perilous-pursuit /

  BONUS EPISODE: Is Wellbeing Part of a Lawyer's Professional Responsibility?

  Jan 3, 202343 min

  The legal profession is notorious for hard work and long hours, often at the expense of lawyers' wellbeing. But is this really serving the best interests of our clients? In this episode, you'll hear from a thought leader at the forefront of the Lawyer Wellbeing movement, who holds that wellbeing is not just a "nice-to-have," but is a critical part of a lawyer's ethical duties to clients. Dean David Jaffe of American University Washington College of Law joined Charise for this episode to discuss how the Lawyer Wellbeing movement is changing the way lawyers work and what the future holds with regard to wellbeing and the legal profession. Whether you're a practicing lawyer trying to manage your own wellbeing or whether you manage or employ other lawyers, or both, you'll find this episode relevant and useful to the continued health of your practice and the people in that practice.
