The Resilient Lawyer with Jeena Cho
Business:Careers
In this episode, I am excited to have Lauren Mahr on to talk about resilience and the link between neuroscience and mindfulness to the practice of law.
Laura Mahr is the founder of Conscious Legal Minds LLC, providing mindfulness and neuroscience-based coaching, training, and consulting for attorneys and law offices nationwide. Laura’s cutting-edge work to build resilience to burnout, stress, and vicarious trauma in the practice of law is informed by 11 years of practice as a civil sexual assault attorney, two decades of experience as an educator and professional trainer, and 25 years as a student and teacher of mindfulness and yoga, and a love of neuroscience.
Topics Covered
Laura starts the episode by talking on how her past helped her find her personal definition of resilience and how it works in the context of her work, as well as neuroscience and how it shaped how she views her control over herself. How she utilizes her knowledge of neuroscience to help her feel more comfortable, confident, and resilient in the courtroom. The connection between neuroscience and mindfulness and how they play into the practice of law. She also talks about her daily practice of how she increases her ability to be more resilient and self-care. Tools for utilizing mindfulness and neuroscience to help lawyers to build resilience to stress.Resources Mentioned:
