I help lawyers ditch their soul-sucking jobs and figure out how to trade lawyering for a better life. On this channel, you'll learn about alternative careers for lawyers and what else you can do with your J.D. If you're experiencing lawyer burnout, you're unhappy as an attorney, or you're just plain sick of billables, this channel is for you!
My name is Sarah Cottrell. I'm the founder of Former Lawyer and the host of The Former Lawyer Podcast. I help lawyers identify alternative careers so that they can create a career and a life that they love. I worked as a lawyer for 10 years, first as a Biglaw litigator (exited that as fast as I could!), then in legal publishing, and finally as an appellate court staff attorney. In 2018, I bailed and haven’t looked back.
