I’M HERE TO HELP YOU…
Become a happily successful lawyer
Start now with the Life & Law Success Roadmap: 5 proven strategies that transformed me from burned out to balanced (while building a $2.5MM+ practice of my own).

YOU BECAME A LAWYER TO MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT.
Thanks to your make-it-happen work ethic, by society’s standards, you’re a success. So, why then do you often…
Worry that everyone will figure out you don’t actually have it all together (but are instead distracted by a tangle of emotions as you overthink every decision you make).
Feel as if you’re spinning in perpetual motion (doing things you don’t want to be doing).
Question whether “success” is worth it (and secretly wonder what you want it to mean at this stage of your life/career).
After yet another drink-from-the-fire-hose day, snap at your child (for wanting to spend time with you) and pick another fight with your spouse (over how the laundry was folded).
Find yourself thinking… “I can’t keep up with this pace – forget about getting to the next level.”
Feel guilt any time you take a brief moment to yourself (yet at the same time, feel guilt due to lack of self-care).
It’s time for a new approach to success (and balance). Because both are created from the inside-out.
After 18+ years in private practice and a battle with breast cancer, I traded in my $2.5MM practice to help lawyers become happily successful using my unique Inside-Out Success Formula.
I’ve spent the past 20+ years mentoring (and now coaching) lawyers – like you – to 10x or more your results while ditching stress, overthinking and people-pleasing.
Truth: although stress, anxiety, and depression at higher-than-average rates seems to be the norm for attorneys, it doesn’t have to be this way. You can have balanced success.
I’ve done it – in BigLaw – and my clients do too. But not before learning the hard way myself…


Driving home past midnight (again), I was oblivious to the twinkling red, green & white lights that were everywhere (and irritated by The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year mockingly playing in the background).
After wanting to be an attorney since age 10, I was considering giving it all up. This wasn’t how I imagined success as an attorney…
- At the office every weekend.
- Billing 80-90 hours per week.
- Getting 4-5 hours of sleep per night.
… Barely holding it together.
Did you know that more than 50% of private practice lawyers report feeling stressed and/or anxious all or most of the time? And that 74% of surveyed attorneys say the profession has had a negative impact on their mental health?
Yep, that was me. And had been for 3+ years.

I kept telling myself the profession was broken – it was the same everywhere.
Because I was worried what everyone would think (this is what I’d wanted forever; everyone thought I had it all), I did nothing.
But that night was different. My dear husband was tired of my complaints, interrupting me with a simple message: You have a choice.
Of course, I didn’t initially want to hear that. We fought, I went to bed angry. But I woke up the next morning begrudgingly admitting he was right.
It was time to rethink and redefine success for myself. Although I didn’t know it at the time, that was the beginning of my Inside-Out Success Formula.
The result? My inner spark reignited. I made partner in an Am Law 100 firm and built my own book of business (to over $2.5MM) yet stayed balanced. All while navigating my way through:
- 2 pregnancies (and bed rests).
- The 2008 financial crisis (as a corporate finance partner).
- A battle with aggressive breast cancer.
I’m not a unicorn (as evidenced by the countless attorneys I’ve helped create their version of success + balance). You can do this too.

Paper-only success isn’t success at all.
The good news is you do NOT have to sacrifice yourself to succeed.

I thought I’d be practicing for the long-haul, happily ever after until…Breast cancer hit.
I was only 38, with 2 young kids (they were 2 and 6 at the time of diagnosis).
The cancer was aggressive; the prognosis wasn’t good. Thankfully, I beat the odds.
This experience changed how I defined one of my top values (service), which eventually led me to trade in my thriving law practice to start this business.
I don’t accept that attorneys are destined for high stress, anxiety and burnout. And I know anyone can build their own book of business (even as an introvert).
I’m here to help you accomplish the things you want as a lawyer AND person while staying true to yourself. Whether you work with me or not, my mission is the same. That’s why I have so many articles & free resources. And why I started the Life & Law Podcast.
[For more about me – and inspiration around how to transform life’s messiest moments into positive ones – listen to this episode of the Life & Law Podcast].
Whether you’re in private practice or in-house and regardless of how long you’ve been practicing (3, 8 or 20+ years), my mission is simple:
To help you increase your income and impact while advocating for yourself as fiercely as you do for your clients.
Truth: leaving something you’ve been incredibly successful at (for over 18 years) isn’t easy. I worried it wouldn’t work out and that I’d be judged harshly by former colleagues.
But after what I’d been through, I couldn’t not try. There was no way would I allow fear to stop me.
And I wanted to show my boys that they have the power to create their own happiness.
P.S. I want that for you too.
You already have what it takes… Smart. Driven. Committed.
You just need help from an expert who understands what you’re going through and how to prevail through it all. So you can create – and successfully implement – a customized game-plan that aligns with your values, personality and strengths.

Heather taught me how to ask myself the right questions to go from problem to solution.
When I first started working with Heather, I had lost the passion and drive I once had for my work. I didn’t perceive that I was living a meaningful life.
