“I call it life’s guardrails. It’s a very possessive profession, and you can find yourself at times in the middle of a stressful time at work, you can take it home, and it can interfere with your relationships and your health. It takes a while to learn how to do it, but you’ve got to put up guards, just to protect yourself from letting your health decline and letting it run your life. It’s allowed me to be a better lawyer down the road.”
