Welcome back to the Powerhouse Lawyers podcast! [00:00] The PHL community talks a lot about releasing ourselves from imposter syndrome and old versions of ourselves. Success starts when we decide to break free from the prisons of our mind and emotions. [00:30] Our guest today is Gary Miles. Lawyer, coach, and author of Breaking Free: A Guide to Achieving Personal and Professional Freedom as a Lawyer. [04:02] Gary’s journey of breaking free started with releasing himself from people pleasing and learning to practice law in and out of sobriety. [08:33] What saved his career and cultivated the life he wanted, was his openness to ask for help. As lawyers, we struggle to ask for support because we think we are supposed to know everything. [14:09] But, freedom is found in holding a hand while you work to shift your mindset and old beliefs away from what’s holding you back. [19:50] Gary’s book goes into detail about what these mental prisons can consist of–some you and I have experienced– and how to let that go! [27:03] Then of course, we bring Gary into the fold of Legally Blonde Moments. Have you ever forgotten your client's name? Yes, but what about in front of the jury?!
