On this episode of the Stress-Free JD Podcast, I am talking with Keopu Reelitz. She is currently Head communications strategy and efforts for the Executive Office of Early Learning, which leads and coordinates the state's early learning system in the State of Hawaii. This is just one of the non-legal jobs she’s held since graduating law school a decade ago.
This episode is full of tips about how to have work-life balance both in law school and in a busy career. She shares her experience with imposter syndrome as an underrepresented minority, passing and later failing the bar exam leading to a decision to pursue a non-legal career where her law degree has helped her every day. We talked about mentoring relationships staring in law school, and how she used her strengths to build those relationships. I loved her insights on flexible work arrangements, candor, and both reframing and overcoming failure.
I am Amanda Bynum, I am an attorney and educator and I am on my own health and lifestyle journey. I want to share my journey through this podcast. I also want to share other attorney’s perspectives on how to thrive rather than just survive in the legal profession.
Thank you for being patient as these episodes trickle out. I’ve been spread thin, and I always like to practice what I preach so I had to prioritize my time and that meant putting the podcast on the back burner for a few weeks.
But do not worry, I have not given up, and I don’t intend to. I still have so many ideas, so be sure to give me some positive feedback if you can, and share this podcast with anyone, attorney or not, who might benefit from ideas and perspectives on self-care.
