Managing Editor

"If only there were more hours in the day."

I used to say this to myself ALL the time.

I was convinced I just needed a little extra time to tackle my to-do list. 

Or a new planner to fine-tune my time management skills.

But no matter how many planners I purchased or how many all-nighters I pulled, nothing changed.

I still felt crushed by competing deadlines.

I cancelled plans last minute, because I had too much on my plate.

I woke up early.  I worked late.

I thought if I could just work harder, I’d get there.  I’d get it all done.

The higher-ups would be happy.  Which meant I could be happy, having finally received their approval.

Turns out . . .

You can't hustle your way to happiness.

Believe me . . . I tried.

Sound familiar? If so, here’s what I want you to know.

Through all of that trying, I learned something they don’t teach you in law school.

The solve for stress? 

It isn't TIME management.

It’s MIND management. 

That’s right.  You don’t need a new planner.  You need a new plan.  

One where your well-being, not your work-load, gets to be the top priority.  

Sounds impossible?  It’s not.  I’ll show you.  

I work solely 1-on-1 with attorneys who are over the overwhelm.  

I help them start living lives with less stress and far more fulfillment. 

If you're ready to start living that life, let's get started.

Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP

I'm a practical in-house lawyer and creative leader who encourages, prepares, and empowers my clients to meet their goals effectively and responsibly.  I'm also a coach to women lawyers, speaker, and writer.  

As Deputy GC at Bandwidth, I manage and lead the global privacy program for a communications software company, including privacy by design in product development, responsible use of AI, vendor risk management, data protection policies, consent and lead generation, and contract negotiation.  I routinely advise on risk management under the GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and emerging privacy and data protection laws. 

I also support our marketers in strategy and execution from brand to content to paid media, and I have extensive experience advising on compliance, content clearance, and endorsements in social media, advertising and promotions in all media, trademark and brand management, mobile apps, and online operations.  

I’ve served as the dedicated lawyer for a 600-person global marketing organization in a software analytics company for 7 years, where I negotiated agreements and helped balance risk and strategy in sponsored content, multichannel advertising, and both outside & in-house agency creative. In this role I met the challenge of market and regulatory changes in social media, martech, and adtech by teaching practical privacy as a brand element, customer experience imperative, and market differentiator. 

As a speaker and coach, I help women lawyers live and practice law with joy and intention.  I'm doing the work right alongside you.  You can find more information and apply for coaching at www.essentiallychip.com
