EXECUTIVE AND BURNOUT COACHING FOR LAWYERS
You're good at this. Clients trust you, partners lean on you, and your hours prove it. But the job keeps asking for more, and your family gets whatever's left at 11 p.m.
I coach women lawyers who want to make partner, lead a team or plan their next move, and still have a life outside the firm.
Do any of these resonate?
-
I hit my hours, and it still doesn't feel like enough.
-
I can't remember the last weekend I didn't check email.
-
Everyone says I'm on track for partner. I'm not sure I want what it costs.
-
I'm the one who never says no, so every fire drill lands on my desk.
-
I'm at dinner, but my head is still in the brief.
-
I'm exhausted, and I don't know who at work I can tell.
I'm not a lawyer. I'm a former CPA and consultant who spent 13 years in the billable-hour world, so I know the math you live by: the hours, the partner track and the client who emails on Sunday night.
Burnout in law isn't a personal failing. It's what happens when a demanding job meets no system for protecting your time and energy.
In coaching, we build that system. First we get clear on what you want: partner, a different practice, an in-house role or something new. Then we work on what gets you there. How you plan your week. What you stop saying yes to. How you talk about your results at review time. How you leave at a reasonable hour without the guilt.
Most of my clients work with me in Freedom, my 6-month 1:1 coaching program, and have me in their corner every weekday between sessions. For coaching in the moment, there's TextLauren, my AI executive coach, built on my methods and available by text any time.
My work on attorney burnout has been featured by the New Jersey State Bar Association and on The Lawyer's Edge podcast.
TESTIMONIALS
"I have found the freedom to accept myself and to show up more authentically for life, my career, and my family.
During the coaching with Lauren, I gathered the necessary tools to trust myself. It's all known deep down, but working with Lauren was invaluable and very eye-opening for me.
I was able to celebrate the little victories that came along in the process of self-improvement that carried over to feeling more fulfilled, and in a flow state.
The coaching was a great decision for me because I have found the freedom to accept myself and to show up more authentically for life, my career, my family. Coaching with Lauren works. Just do it. And the earlier, the better. So that you can shed any doubts and reconnect with yourself.

"If you told me I would be feeling positive, optimistic and confident, I don't know if I would have believed you... But here I am. And it's the coaching that helped me...
I received a review at the end of last year that was tough to hear. It was clear that there was room for growth. It was a new role and I knew I could do better. I just felt like I needed a little more support to do that.
[Four months later, and] I just had my Q1 check in. It was very different than my end of year review last year. My supervisor was very happy with how things are going. I'm showing up more confidently, because I am doing my work in a way that makes more sense. The quality of my output is better. She's also noticing the changes.
This is the first time I've ever worked with a coach. It's different when you're venting to coworkers, venting to friends, or talking to your therapist. Lauren understands the context of what I'm going through, but she’s also able to hold me accountable to the goals that we outlined. It's been honestly really helpful to have a professional coach in my life.
It's helpful that Lauren is available between sessions and that she lets me guide the conversations in terms of what will have the most impact. Even though Lauren has a program that is structured, there's enough flexibility to make sure that every time I feel like I'm getting my most like my top concerns addressed, which is really helpful.
When I got my bad review as a high achieving woman who's always been very successful in my profession, to receive something less than glowing... it can be so easy to start beating yourself up even further, and that bleeds into the rest of your life. It's so worth it to work with Lauren."
