Episode 6: The "Prototype Lawyer" and Losing Identity in Law | Part 1
Does becoming a lawyer mean losing yourself? Karen and Mo explore how individuality gets replaced by the expectations of being a “prototype lawyer.” From youthful idealism to fitting the corporate mold, they share how they changed to be taken seriously in the legal world.
Why do lawyers feel pressured to conform? Is success possible without losing your identity? How does the profession reinforce this culture?
They discuss the emotional toll of adapting to a system built on rigid norms, from early struggles to the moment they realized they were "selling out."
Join us for Part 1 of this deep dive into legal culture, identity, and what it really means to “make it” in law.
Let’s get into it.
