In this episode, Jan sits down with Catherine Zack. A corporate lawyer turned meditation teacher, relaxation guide, mindfulness coach, and wellness consultant. Catherine began her career as a litigator at a top-tier law firm in Washington, DC, a classic Type-A, high-achieving go-getter who checked all the right boxes and built a “successful-on-paper” legal career. But after a few years of that fast-paced, high-stakes, sleep-when-you’re done, big-law life, she finally looked up and realized that a career path toward the partnership wasn’t for her. In 2014, she walked away from the practice of meditation to create welcoming, inclusive spaces of belonging, empower people with tools of self-exploration, personal development, mindfulness, and restoration to help them thrive and come alive. - Learn More about Catherine Zack on... https://www.catherinezack.com/ - Be sure to subscribe to our youtube channel for exclusive access to our highlights as well as our favorite pieces of advice!    Link to Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZFCK7UYoXnaoGXoOCVBxfw  -    If you want to support us, there are three ways to do so.

From Corporate Lawyer to Meditation Teacher and Mindfulness Coach w/ Catherine Zack

In Episode 020 of The Former Lawyer Podcast, Sarah talks with Catherine Zack. Six years ago, Catherine walked away from biglaw to teach yoga and meditation. Through her business, The Daily Vinyasa, Catherine teaches her clients and students how to incorporate yoga, mediation, and self-care into their daily lives.  In this conversation, Catherine shares about:  Being as certain she should leave the law as she had been certain she should go to law school; How being “type A plus plus plus” put her on the path to law school; Making decisions based on whether she could do something, rather than whether she should; Enjoying her first few years in biglaw; How a bad breakup combined with a big case settling caused her to pause and reflect on her biglaw experience and forced her to confront the fact that she wasn’t actually that happy; The toll that stress took on her while working in biglaw; How she managed the 75% pay cut that came with leaving biglaw; Moving out of her own apartment into a room in her friend’s basement in order to make the move from biglaw possible; Why she thinks she would never have ended up with her now-husband if she hadn’t left biglaw; What it’s been like to go back to her law firm to offer yoga and meditation workshops; Learning to trust your inner voice about where to go with your career; and much more!

From Working In Biglaw To Teaching Yoga And Meditation With Catherine Zack

Six years ago Catherine Zack left her prestigious title and large paycheck as a corporate litigator to pursue yoga. Today she shares how she helps type-A, success-driven (perhaps even workaholic) entrepreneurs slow down and reconnect to their greatest resource: themselves. Catherine and I are one of the success stories of technology. We met on Instagram. This was at a time I was feeling burned out; I couldn’t see past the next thing on my to-do list. And in walked Catherine -- a source of light who can hold space and envelops you in her calming presence.    She’s pushed me to be more considerate in how I’m taking care of myself so I can show up as a better leader, a better mom, a better wife, and a better business owner.   This conversation is important -- and not because we’re talking dollars and growth strategies -- but because as the owner of your business you are its most precious resource. And you have to take care of yourself if you want to grow.   On this episode, Catherine and I chat about:  The impact of the hustle culture on our mindfulness as leaders; Leaving a high-paying job for more space, energy, and joy; Recognizing when you’re on auto-pilot; Easy things you can do to feel more grounded when you’re tightly wound; Why you need to take time after a big project before launching into something new; What a daily practice is and why you need one; And big plans she has for the next year.
