Uncomfortable Dreams
04/28/23 • 24 min
SUMMARY: As some of you may know, the Lawyer Life Collective originated as a blog called the Uncomfortable Dream. The name of the blog is intended to capture what I believe is the essential element in our personal, professional, spiritual evolution. And that is discomfort.
Setting goals is easy. It's the follow through and the impending discomfort that keeps us from following through on our goals. In coaching, 99% of my clients want to find more enjoyment in their work and find more time for the things that bring them joy--going to the gym, lounging on the couch with their partner, having lunch at their kids' school, taking the weekends off, etc. On some level, they always know that in order to achieve those things, it's going to require them to do things differently which is inherently going to bring some discomfort.
And therein lies the rub. Taking action that feels right and authentic to us, often requires us to go against the grain and experience those discomforts. To challenge our closely held thoughts, beliefs and assumptions about what kind of human we are supposed to be. What good a lawyer/spouse/mom/sister/daughter is supposed to look like. It requires us to invest in the discomfort that comes with creating a life we actually want, a life we feel drawn to. An Uncomfortable Dream. That is the core of my work and I am so excited to share it with you.

The Drama Triangle
SUMMARY: Drama. We all love it (hello, reality tv!). I suppose this speaks to our human tendency toward the negative but there is something about having a good dramatic ranting and raving session with your girlfriends about the terrible thing that happened to you or someone else. It’s cathartic!
But catharsis aside, when spending too much time extrapolating on the negative aspects of our lives, it can quickly devolve into what behavioral psychologists call the drama triangle. The drama triangle is a common character in the legal industry and I see my clients falling under its control all the time.
Today we explore the characteristics of the drama triangle, why they are so tempting in the legal practice, and how to break out of the cycle for good.
