Michelle Thompson, J.D., Ph.D. is the CEO of Resistant Vision Coaching and Consulting. She helps women lawyers who work extreme hours to prove their prowess, build sustainable careers and earn promotions and raises.
In this genuinely delightful conversation, Michelle and I break down the (simple but not easy) way of pleasure practice, the neuroscience of Emotional Freedom Technique, 'back-door' magic, and connecting self-care with collective care.
Michelle brings a wealth of knowledge as a scholar, lawyer, and coach, as well as someone who has been on her own journey of self-discovery.
ABOUT MICHELLE:
Michelle's approach is based on the belief that if you never set boundaries for yourself, you will always be overworking, stuck on the hamster wheel of producing more results, and losing sleep because you're always worried about clients, jobs, or the next deadline (never mind tenure or making partner!) and therefore not enjoying your life and building the community and connection you seek.
With almost 3 decades in law and academia and over 5 years of experience as a professional coach, Michelle helps her clients achieve professional sanity with a variety of embodied techniques that combine left and right brain strategies, from emotional freedom technique (tapping) to strategic planning.
