Her goal is to help develop the skills necessary to create and maintain these connections and build the confidence to get everything you want out of life.

How to Lead Generate in Personal Relationships with Amy Duvall

In Episode 030 of The Former Lawyer Podcast, I’m sharing the second half of my conversation with Amy DuVall. (I shared the first half of our conversation last week in episode 029!)  After starting out in private practice, Amy spent 20 years as a lawyer and lobbyist doing environmental work in Washington D.C. In March 2018, she left that behind to study the pastry arts and open her baking business, From Politics to Pastry. In the second half of our conversation, Amy shares about:  How she handled her position being changed from a lawyer to a non-lawyer position and being instructed that she couldn’t hold herself out as a lawyer anymore; How her J.D. was her “secret weapon” during her lobbying days; Spending 10 years working to pass the biggest environmental bill in 25 years, succeeding, and then being hit like a ton of bricks by the question: “What’s next?”; Going to therapy and realizing that she should have gone sooner; Resisting the idea that she had anxiety because she loved what she was doing; Finally accepting that she had a significant problem with anxiety that was taking a toll on her body; How loving the substance of the work but hating the game impacted her, and why you need to figure out which you prefer; Realizing in therapy how being always on call and never having time for creative pursuits had drained her; How a simple exercise her therapist asked her to do resulted in an a-ha moment that sent her down the path of baking as a career; What she did when the culinary school she enrolled in closed with only 12-hours’ notice 3 months before she was supposed to start a pastry arts program; How she went from having no plans to start her own business to starting her own small bakery business, From Politics to Pastry; How she went from taking classes at Sur La Table to teaching them; Why you should never say never; and much more!

Amy DuVall: From Politics to Pastry, part 2

In Episode 029 of The Former Lawyer Podcast, I’m sharing the first half of my conversation with Amy DuVall. (We talked about so many important things and I couldn’t bear to cut any of it, so I’ll share the second half next week!)  After starting out in private practice, Amy spent 20 years as a lawyer and lobbyist doing environmental work in Washington D.C. In March 2018, she left that behind to study the pastry arts and open her baking business, From Politics to Pastry. In the first half of our conversation, Amy shares about:  How she ended up as a lobbyist; Why becoming a lawyer was simply a means to an end for her; What inspired her to pursue a career as an environmental lobbyist; Why she doesn’t regret going to law school; How she learned more than once that she liked the substance of legal work but not the game; What to do when you really like certain parts of your job as a lawyer, but really hate other parts; What she did when she realized she didn’t want the brass ring of partnership she’d been taught to chase after; Her job changing overnight from a lawyer to a non-lawyer position; and much more!   Show Notes:  First Steps to Leaving the Law Guide—&gt; formerlawyer.com/guide Former Lawyer Fundamentals—&gt; formerlawyer.com/fundamentals Connect with Amy on her website or on Instagram
