'She didn't need to be saved. She needed to be found and appreciated, for exactly who she was.' (J Iron Word) Receiving a diagnosis or self-identifying as neurodivergent as an adult, and starting to learn about our true selves, often enables us an opportunity to feel self-love and self-appreciation for who we are (sometimes for the first time). How has diagnosis/self identification supported you to love and understand yourself?

Having proper estate planning documents in place and one’s financial affairs in order is among the most thoughtful and priceless gifts you can leave to your loved ones, especially when it comes to making extremely difficult end of life health care decisions. #estateplanning #livingwills #healthcaredecisions

Hey, we are holding a space for therapists to address grief and loss they experience as a part of this profession. Built on forming authentic relationships, therapists may often carry grief in the form of losing clients to death, sudden terminations, difficult therapeutic ruptures & holding vicarious/ shared grief along with the clients. We are here to open space for acknowledging this less explored aspect of being in this profession and extend support to fellow therapists.

😟 It’s “Human Nature” to avoid thoughts that fill us with dread, such as planning for death. So if you’ve ever felt this way, “You Are Not Alone” (ok, ok, I’ll stop now 😄).

Last week, the gavel was passed to me and I am honored to be the next President of the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Attorneys (MATA).   During my term, I hope to continue to focus on lawyer well-being.   Many MATA members practice alone or in small firms. What happens if we pass away or become disabled unexpectantly. Who will finish the job for our clients? How will we support our families?   We are trained to be zealous advocates. We take on the burdens of our clients during their darkest days. That is why they chose us. But, how do we balance our own problems and still prioritize our clients’ needs?     Many lawyers live with depression, alcoholism, or other diseases that affect them both physically and mentally. Is it a weakness to acknowledge publicly these problems? Is it healthy to bottle up those anxieties?   When we manage too many clients or too many deadlines and there are not enough hours in the day, how do we manage these stressors?   Under the leadership of Rhonda Maloney, MATA sanctioned a well-being committee, who will find meaningful ways to help MATA members.   Helping our members handle these problems is not just a good idea – it is our obligation.   As human beings, we all seek comfort in our communities. As trial lawyers, we understand how devastating it is when our clients are taken out of their communities.   At MATA, we have a community.     Together, we have chosen to make a difference in the lives of others.     We do not live on an island.     By choosing to help others, we make positive differences in our own lives.
