Have you ever suffered from the Sunday Scaries, dreading the start of another week in the practice of law? Studies show you're not alone and have plenty of company. If only there were someone who has experienced burnout, found a way out, and now helps others restore their energy and get their lawyer groove back. Oh, wait. There is.

San Diego environmental land use and real estate attorney Tracy Inscore felt "soul-level" burnout that caused her to leave the practice of law. After traditional therapies failed to provide relief, she discovered Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), commonly known as tapping, a scientifically backed approach combining ancient Chinese medicine principles with modern neuroscience.

With newfound knowledge and motivation, Tracy is of counsel to one of the nation's largest law firms. As a certified EFT practitioner, she developed a three-step process that addresses the root causes and manifested symptoms of burnout.

Listen in as Tracy talks about renewing your energy and reclaiming your well-being without abandoning the legal career you've worked so hard to build.
