Message from our Founder
I almost gave up.
I almost walked completely away from the practice of law.
I had such a bad experience; everywhere I went, I was getting yelled at, undermined, and treated as though I did not matter. And I worked 7 days a week to try to make things work.
I thought I was broken. Then I finally got a wake-up call and realized that the system I was in was broken, not me.
So now that I am on the other side, I make it my business to help law students, lawyers, and others protect their peace, engage in constant self-care,
and take breaks before they have a breakdown.
That’s why I created Journey to Esquire.®️
