As many of you know, I have been quite outspoken about the legal profession and its impact on the mental health of individual lawyers and legal support staff. As a result, a lot of people I barely know reach out to me unprompted to share absolutely shocking stories about their experiences. I have been thinking for a while about how best to share those.
Initially I considered putting them into another book. The problem with that approach is after the book is written, there is no way to share additional stories that come in without continuously writing books.
I think Substack is the answer.
Every other Friday I am going to share “The Tea”. I will work with a lawyer or legal support staff to assist them in telling their story anonymously. I will share the draft with them to make sure I protect their anonymity while also adding my own commentary and rants.
The Tea will only be available to subscribers. Why? I will share all new subscriber profits from each article with the individual whose story is shared. Consider it a way to give a small token of support towards people who have experienced trauma.
Who is ready for some tea? The first edition will be released next Friday.
