#92 Melissa Lorenzo-Herve with Pirouette NYC

Melissa Lorenzo-Herve is a Senior Attorney Editor at the Practical Law Company (a division of Thompson Reuters), as well as the CEO and Creative Director of Pirouette NYC, a clothing line for the professional woman. Melissa tells us about how she built this dual career after leaving the practice of law. In this episode we discuss: That the area of law that attracted you is often not where you end up practicing  How, even if you work with nice people, it may not be enough to keep you going if you’re working insane hours Looking at the lawyers ahead of you, does their work/life balance seem any better? Is that the path you want to stay on? Feeling hesitant to leave practice because of the time and money commitment Taking the time to go for a walk, and giving yourself space to actually think about what you might want to do next: Then write it down! Getting clear on what it is that you do and don't like about practicing - it can be different for each of us That legal publishing can be a way to lean into the academic side of law you might have liked without the client-based work Talking to people about your potential career shift is important - it is likely to open doors to new ideas and new contacts  How you can pursue two things at the same time. A side hustle is a great route to pursue a passion How it makes no sense to be miserable for the next 40 years because in your early 20s you decided to go to law school
