After two decades in litigation, Courtney Schulnick, Esq. stepped away from the courtroom to pursue something equally demanding, helping others manage the pressures of law with clarity and balance.
Now a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) instructor, Courtney teaches attorneys and other professionals how to use mindfulness not as an escape from their work, but as a tool to perform at their highest level while protecting their well-being.
In this episode of the Sidebar Advisors Podcast, Courtney joins Niraj to share how her career journey led her to mindfulness, what the practice actually entails, and why it’s a practical, evidence-based approach for thriving in high-pressure environments.
We cover:
⚖️ The science behind focus, clarity, and resilience at work
🧘 How becoming a mother forced her to slow down and re-evaluate what fulfillment looks like
💼 Why mental well-being is a competitive advantage, not a distraction from success
🌱 How stepping away from law allowed her to teach others how to stay engaged and fulfilled within it
