1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 On today’s show, Sarah interviews Maria Phillis, former lawyer turned doctor (ob/gyn, to be specific).&amp;nbsp; In this interview, Maria shares: Why getting laid off during the big crash of '08/'09 wasn’t a terrible thing in retrospect; Why loving trial work wasn’t enough to keep her in the law;&amp;nbsp; How she challenged herself to prove that she was truly interested in med school while still working as a lawyer; Why she doesn’t regret taking the path that she took (even though it meant even more student loans); Why she thinks it’s so hard for lawyers particularly to allow themselves to think about making a career change; and Why brutal honesty about what you actually want is essential if you’re thinking about leaving the law.
