Non-Billable Hours Podcast

What is life really like as a lawyer?

Hi, I’m Odette, a lawyer in Canada 🍁 and the host of this podcast about the real life behind the legal profession.

We don't talk about legal advice, case breakdowns, or courtroom drama. Instead, we talk about the human side of being a lawyer — the career paths, the pressure, the burnout, the identity shifts, and the search for balance outside the law.

On this channel, you’ll hear honest conversations about:
⚖️ Lawyer burnout and mental health
⚖️ Work-life balance in demanding legal careers
⚖️ Why lawyers stay in the profession — and why some leave
⚖️ Life outside the courtroom
⚖️ Career journeys from lawyers across different fields

Some episodes are solo reflections, and others feature lawyers sharing their personal stories and a lot of laughs.

No legal advice. No case analysis.
Just real conversations about the life behind the law.
