Who We Help ... and Why


Are you considering leaving the legal profession?

Are you wondering what other kinds of legal jobs might be a better fit for you?

Do you have a JD but have yet to figure out how to create the legal career that you know you really want?

Are you a law student wondering what a traditional legal career would be like?

Are you struggling to make a decision about your legal career?

We created this program of online courses and coaching for you:

  • to allow you to look below the surface of "legal careers" to the huge range of options now available to lawyers and JDs who want a non-traditional legal career;
  • to give you the tools you need to make an intentional decision about your legal career;
  • to provide a framework for your decision making that is based in Mindfulness.
Who is this program made for... Are you a lawyer, JD, or law adjacent professional who is burned out at work?  Do you want to put the oxygen mask on yourself but don't know how?  Are you considering a job or career change but you're not sure... because maybe your job is too good to leave but too bad to stay?  Are you looking for practical ways to identify what you really want in your career or as a professional? I've been there... and I want you to know that there are alternatives.  You don't have to leave wellness at the office door.

Hi, I’m Kim


I am a licensed lawyer who fell into a series of non-traditional, alternative legal jobs during my 25+ year career. At first, I was almost disappointed in myself for not having, for not wanting, a big law type of job/ career…. But eventually, I grew to realize that I had actually created an amazing and very fulfilling non-traditional legal career that was, quite simply, my legal career. 

I am also a long time student and practitioner of meditation. But for my meditation practice, I don’t think I would have come to the realizations that I did regarding my legal career. I created a framework of courses and coaching to help other lawyers, JDs and law students make intentional choices about their careers instead of either settling for less than the career of their dreams or falling into jobs that may or may not lead them to where they want to be.
