If you’re a #lawyer who is depleted, numb, and often experiencing anxiety, you might consider taking a leave of absence. When I first suggest this to WILL Members who are conveying these symptoms of burnout, they don't believe they'll qualify. They say, "A leave of absence is just for people dealing with a major illness or to take care of an ailing family member." Burnout is a major mental health crisis. Taking a LOA (leave of absence) has been crucial for WILL Members to restore their physical and mental well-being, AND as part of their transition journey. After initially thinking it wasn't available to them, they discovered the DO qualify. Once they start digging they found people in their firms have taken them, and they might be able to also. About 20 WILL Members who have requested a leave have received them —and the vast majority were paid. Fully paid leaves. Remember, taking care of yourself is not just an option; it’s a necessity. Have you ever taken a leave of absence? Was it paid or unpaid? If so, how did it serve you?

"A cup that's always pouring, can't be refilled." Summer's a great time to slow down and replenish. Often the #womenlawyers I work with feel they "always have to be available" and it's easier to just keep working. I'm curious: are you replenishing yourself this summer? 🌞 At WILL - Women Interested In Leaving (big) Law, we help #womenlawyers ACTUALLY be able to recharge their minds, bodies, and spirits. Whether it's an unplugged yoga retreat trip... ...curling up (without guilt or worry) with a good book... ...spending time at the pool with loved ones... ...or simply enjoying some quiet moments of introspection... ...it's so important to discover what recharges you. So, how can you fill your cup this summer? #summer #womeninbusiness #professionaldevelopment #womeninlaw #womenlawyers #lawyerslife #worklifebalance #selfcare #mentalhealthawareness Elena Deutsch (she/her)
