Boundaries might be the missing ingredient in your quest for a successful and fulfilling law practice. In this powerful conversation with boundary coach Barb Nangle, we explore how setting healthy boundaries can transform not only your personal life but also revolutionize your professional relationships and leadership approach.

Barb shares her remarkable story of transformation that began at age 52, proving it's never too late to change ingrained patterns. After decades of therapy that barely scratched the surface of her issues, she discovered through 12-step recovery programs that her core wound was codependence, manifesting as people-pleasing, burnout, and an inability to identify her own needs and preferences. The moment she began establishing clear boundaries, everything changed.

Law firm owners will find particular wisdom in Barb's workplace insights. Working at Yale for 19 years with a chronically unreliable boss, she discovered that complaining and hoping others would change only deepened her resentment. When she shifted to implementing structures she could control, regular meetings, clear communication protocols, and letting her boss experience the natural consequences of her actions, team morale and productivity soared. This principle applies perfectly to law practice management.

The most transformative concept Barb shares is moving beyond a victim mentality. She challenges the common attorney's belief of "I don't have a choice" when faced with demanding deadlines or difficult clients. Recognizing your agency in every situation, whether choosing to complete weekend work because it aligns with partnership goals or choosing to set limits that protect your wellbeing, creates empowerment and prevents burnout. The sustainable law practice requires filling your cup first through non-negotiable commitments to rest and personal connections.
