The holidays are a big time for depression.  And depression affects lawyers in disproportionate numbers compared to other professions. So in today's podcast I'm talking about the myths and truth about depression , how to get help, and the do's and don'ts for someone trying to help a loved one who is depressed. I am currently depressed. I share because I want to remove the stigma from mental illnes...

Are you like me and blame yourself whenever ANYTHING goes wrong? This confused me as I am not known as a people pleaser, nor do I suffer from low self-esteem. Ahem.

A month or so ago I got an email telling me to "stop telling lawyers not to buy books or attend  CLE's." You know when someone tells me -not- to do something, I'm gonna do it, right? (I'm a toddler  like that.) But is that REALLY my message? Do I honestly want you to stop buying books and attending  CLE's? Tune in to find out. I'm going on the record, y'all. Buckle up. -Sari   LIBSYN, WEEBLY, YOUT...

Whenever a client loses a case (it happens!) I always ask,  "Did you talk to the jury?" And in MOST cases my client sheepishly says, "No…." Ma dudes. You've GOT to talk to the jury after a loss (or a win, for that matter) but the reason goes way beyond getting a critique of your performance. Not talking to the jury costs you in more ways than one. Give this episode a listen.   -Sari   * * * * * FR...

"I've been listening to your podcast and love the book. Tuesday, I got the largest med mal verdict in Georgia history. Just wanted to say thank you."

One question I continue to get is: how do I get more confidence? What if I told you that you don't need it? I'm serious y'all. Confidence is a nice thing to have. It's definitely something you can have. But you don't need it to do whatever it is you're attempting to do. What you DO need are the three things I'm talking about in today's podcast.

Wanna know why you aren't getting the big verdicts? Lack of emotion in opening. Look, I know you've been told you can't get angry or cry, but that's some bullshit.  IF you don't get emotional at trial, jurors can't get emotional, and emotion drives action.

My mentor, Mary Kogen, has died. In this special podcast episode, I share with you why, if there was no Mary Kogen, there would never be a Sari de la Motte. At least not the one you get to hear from every week.  In the song "For Good" from Wicked, it says, "Who can say that I've been changed for the better? But, because I knew you, I have been changed for good." Mary changed me for good. Thanks in...

I put my daughter on a plane to Finland the other day. She's 7. Ok, she was also with her grandparents, but that didn't seem to satisfy my brain. In other words, my brain had ALL sorts of scenarios it wanted me to think on, mostly having to do with her dying, being kidnapped or assaulted. Brains are fucked, y'all.  But that doesn't mean there's something wrong with us. Our brains are working EXACT...
