“When I’m working out and eating well, I see the world in such a different way. I think it’s a small way of reclaiming a little bit of control over your life.”
Marisa Office was a successful corporate litigator on Wall Street when a series of traumatic life events collided with her already stressful career.
In this week’s episode of Women on the Rise, Marisa shares how she navigated that difficult period of her life – and came out the other side with more clarity and a deeper connection to herself. We also talk about meditation, fear, creativity… and Tom Brady.
Highlights
- The creative hobby that had a surprising effect on Marisa’s mindfulness practice
- How Marisa made the connection between what she eats and how she feels
- Why Marisa’s perspective of self-care went from “what’s self-care?” to “self-care is non-negotiable”
- How practicing meditation to cope with a series of traumatic life events also allowed Marisa to gain clarity about her life path
- What Tom Brady can teach us about self-care and success (*cringe*… sorry, Pats fans)
- How to make eating meals a more nourishing experience for both body and soul
- A new way to think about work-life balance that might actually be achievable
- How to make life decisions from a place of clarity instead of fear and uncertainty
- Why having a flexible definition of self-care is vital to your sense of wellbeing
- What friends, family, and colleagues said when Marisa announced that she would no longer practice law – and how she knew it was the right decision for her anyway
