/in /by

Hey lawyers! Listen up because today’s episode is unlike any of the episodes I’ve done in the past. Today I chat with the woman behind @leavelawbehind’s Instagram Veronica Peterson. Veronica was a client of Casey Berman’s and has successfully left the law, sold her house, and is now moving into an RV to travel the country and pursue her passion project. If you haven’t already, head to HLP107 and listen to the episode with Casey, then come back and listen up! On today’s episode we talk about what it takes to push through all those fears that comes with leaving the law. There are a ton of real truths on what it looks like to turn your life around and truly pursue your passion. I hope you enjoy the episode as much as I enjoyed this inspirational conversation with Veronica.

  • How Veronica ended up in the law
  • The catalyst for Veronica’s career transition
  • How Casey’s Leave Law Behind Consult changed Veronica’s life
  • How to break through the fears of transition
  • Practical ways to approaching transition
