It's Nice To Meet You !
I'M CHARISE NAIFEH:
LAWYER, MOM, COACH
Not too long ago, I was struggling as a practicing lawyer and a mom with young kids. I had checked all the boxes:
-
Graduated from Georgetown Law.
-
Got a Big Law job at a top international firm in DC.
-
Got married.
-
Bought a house.
-
Had two kids.
My life looked great on paper, but I reached a breaking point soon after the birth of my second baby. My days became a blur of exhaustion, overwhelm, and stress. This affected everything: my work, my family life, my health.
The life I had set up prior to kids no longer fit with my new reality and new priorities. I felt overwhelmed and stuck in a rut.
One day sitting in a conference room, I saw a vision of my future self if I stayed on the same career path. I didn't like what I saw.
In that moment I realized that I couldn't wait any longer for things to change on their own.
I had to take control and make a change.
It took time and trial and error, but I started making changes that made a difference, while mastering some key skills that they don't teach in law school.
I got clear about what I wanted for my future and started making adjustments to my work arrangement and my role.
My home life improved dramatically, as I developed skills that I needed to manage motherhood as a lawyer.
I began sharing what I was learning with others and they saw dramatic improvements in their lives and careers, too.
That's when I realized: every lawyer mom needs these skills to get the career and life she really wants.
My Mission:
Redefining
Lawyer Mom Life
I believe in challenging the status quo of overwork in the legal profession that causes so many lawyers to burn out.
I do this by creating thoughtful, tailored, and creative work solutions for individual lawyers.
