Inner Critic

When I shut out my inner critic, I sometimes have moments of pride.

I am immensely proud of how far I've come as a human that happens to also be a #biglaw attorney.

In 2020, I doubted it all--myself, my career choice, my life.

With a lot of hard work, so much support from friends and family, and persistence: I've reached the other side of that.

Yes: the doubts persist, the inner critic can be so loud.

But also: I did it. I learned to bring my whole self to the table and found the courage to create a career that fits me, suits me, drives me.

Part of that includes all of you, here on LinkedIn. You encourage me, you engage with my content, you keep me honest and pressing ahead, and you've brought me opportunities I never could have imagined.

I am so grateful and I hope some of you are proud of me too. I know I'm proud to know and also proud of many of you.
