Most lawyers assume stress, burnout and dissatisfaction are just part of the job. Kirsty Waite, CEO of The Ethical Coaching Company, believes the real problem runs much deeper.

In this episode, Kirsty shares how she escaped a corporate career that looked like ultimate success on paper, why career change is rarely an overnight decision, and what lawyers can do to build a career they don't want to escape from.
