  EP 1015: On Ego: Why Female Attorneys Need It Part 2

  Aug 12, 202630 minS10

  Part two of the ego discussion turns to when confidence curdles into a problem. Mary Simon opens with a story about two rival attorneys sniping at each other in a pretrial conference until the judge shut it down, refusing to referee an "ego measuring contest." Liz Lenivy points out that judges punish cockiness the way juries punish a lack of confidence and shares a case where a co-counsel's cocky, nonchalant attitude pushed a client to seek her out instead as proof that ego can quietly damage client trust. The episode closes on humility, with Mary recalling a moment her dad, who built their firm from nothing, brushed off her attempt to celebrate his success: "the firm is just the people."

  EP 1014: On Ego: Why Female Attorneys Need It Part 1

  Jul 29, 202636 minS10

  The hosts unpack what ego really means in the legal profession and why female attorneys especially need a healthy dose of it. They trace the word's negative connotations alongside its necessary flip side: the confidence to stand in front of a jury and believe what you're arguing whether that's a damages number or a case strategy. Stories range from convincing a jury of a dollar amount you have to actually believe, to colleagues questioning why you're on a case, to the TikTok-fueled discourse about young female attorneys feeling embarrassed to even say "I'm a lawyer" out loud. The throughline: ego isn't about arrogance, it's competence-backed confidence and it's something you build over time.

  In this episode, the conversation gets candid about the toll this work takes on lawyers themselves. Sara Marler of Marler Law Partners challenges the myth of "compassion fatigue," explaining that what attorneys are really experiencing is empathetic distress, carrying burdens that aren't theirs to carry. Brittany Graham offers a reframe that often stops attorneys in their tracks: trauma explains behavior but does not excuse it.
