This Feels Hard Because It Is Hard (TFLP 072)

I want to remind you in light of last week’s attack on the Capitol—this feels hard because it is hard.

Lawyers are so often expected to operate as though they are unaffected by the events going on around them.

This is especially challenging when we are faced with traumatic events like last week’s violence.

I want to remind you that if you’re struggling, it’s not because you’re doing anything wrong.

This feels hard because it is hard. Don’t buy into the lie that you should be unaffected.
