I'll help you stop spinning in stress, be more confident, and create a law practice that’s profitable and peaceful.
Together, we’ll strip away the overwhelm, build sustainable systems, and unlock the version of you waiting to take the reins of your practice and your life.
Your next step:
I see you.
You're working harder than ever, yet somehow feel like you're constantly falling behind.
The endless emails, the never-ending to-do lists, the constant worry—it's crushing your spirit, one sleepless night at a time.
You sit at your desk, heart racing, mind spinning.
Emails flood your inbox, and you're terrified of missing something crucial.
Your to-do list feels like a monster growing faster than you can tackle it.
You're checking, responding, worrying— always worrying about what you may have missed.
You get home, and instead of relaxing, you replay work scenarios, imagining everything you could have done better. Oh, and bonus: you think about everything you need to do tomorrow!
Your brain never gets a break!
Not only that, but there's a running commentary in your head with thoughts like:
"Everyone else seems to have it together."
"I must be doing something wrong."
"Maybe I'm not cut out to be a lawyer."
The Hidden Truth No One's Telling You:
It's not about working harder.
It's not about being more disciplined.
The real problem is the invisible mental battle happening inside you—a constant cycle of shame, fear, and self-criticism draining your energy and confidence.
You've Been Sold a Pile of Lies:
"If I just work harder, I'll stop feeling behind."
"I'm behind because I'm lazy and undisciplined."
"There must be something wrong with me."
None of this is true.
The Brutal Reality of Doing Nothing:
If you continue on this path, here's what awaits you:
⛔️ Emotional exhaustion that turns into complete burnout
⛔️ Continuing to believe your struggles are a personal character flaw
⛔️ Wasting precious years of your life trapped in an endless cycle of work and worry
⛔️ Watching your dreams and potential slip away, one overwhelming day at a time
Every moment you spend trapped in this cycle is a moment stolen from the life you could be living—a life of harmonizing your work and personal life and feelings of peace and true fulfillment.
Here's the Good News: This isn't your fault. More importantly, this doesn't have to be your future.
There's a way to break free from this cycle, to reclaim your time, your confidence, and your life.
It starts with understanding your struggle isn't about discipline—it's about systems, support, and a fundamentally different approach to work and life.
Are you ready to stop surviving and start truly living?
"I hired Dina to try to get out my mess and look for some answers. I was working myself to death and wasn't making any money. I wanted my life back. I didn't go to law school to work myself to death.
Today I'm a partner in a successful practice, I'm making more money, I have better clients, and I'm dreaming big.
This is my journey and I want to dream big, and Dina helps you do that.
If you're on the fence, get off the fence. Make the investment. It is worth it."
Nancy Cogar
Imagine your legal career as a pressure cooker, slowly building steam until it's about to explode.
You're working harder than ever, yet feel like you're trapped on a hamster wheel —constantly busy, but never truly progressing.
What if I told you the very system you've been taught to worship is actually the thing holding you back?
Let me introduce you to my unique style of coaching — an approach merging mindset recalibration with strategic life redesign.
This isn't just another productivity hack or tips and tricks; it's a complete system for lawyers who are ready to break free from the burnout cycle.
The cold, hard truth is working harder is not the solution—it's the problem.
The legal profession has conditioned you to believe your worth is measured by your hours billed and your ability to sacrifice everything. But this mindset is killing your spirit, your potential, and your chance at a fulfilling life.
Here's the psychological reality: Your overwhelm isn't a personal failure—it's a systemic issue.
Lawyers are trained to believe struggle is a badge of honor, but research shows this approach leads to burnout, depression, and a complete disconnection from your potential.
By understanding your challenges are rooted in a broken system, not personal inadequacy, you can finally start to heal and rebuild.
I know what you're thinking: "I've tried everything. Another program can't possibly help me."
But this isn't just another program.
As a former criminal prosecutor and as a business owner, I understand the unique challenges you face.
If you're anything like I was, you may believe you should be able to figure this out alone. That it's somehow a weakness to seek help. But seeking support isn't weakness — it's the smartest strategic decision you can make.
Every successful professional has a guide, a mentor, a support system helping them see beyond their current limitations.
Are you ready to stop struggling and start truly living?
In the next section, I'll reveal the exact approach that has helped lawyers like Nancy transform from overwhelmed and burned out to confident, successful, and fulfilled lawyers who are in control of their lives and careers.
"I felt overwhelmed all the time. I wasn't in control of my practice."
I wanted my life, and I wanted to be able to choose my life.
My biggest accomplishment since coaching is seeing that what I want matters and is possible.
I wish someone had told me 'just start...you think you don't have time, but doing this will free up time," I think I would have signed up sooner."
Andrea
I’ve designed a transformative 24-week private coaching experience to help you reclaim control of your law practice, feel confident in how you lead, and finally find fulfillment in the work you do.
This isn’t just mindset work. It’s mindset work that gets you tangible results — paired with proven strategies, tailored support, and the accountability you’ve been craving.
You’ll learn the core skills law school never taught you — but every successful lawyer needs to thrive:
✅ Mind Management
Master the art of managing your thoughts and emotions so you stop spinning in stress and start making clear, confident decisions. You’ll learn to lead yourself powerfully—even when your calendar is full or your caseload is demanding.
✅ Boundaries and Delegation
Say goodbye to people-pleasing and taking on more responsibility than you can chew. You’ll discover how to set clean, effective boundaries and delegate like a leader, so your team (and your calendar) starts working for you — not against you.
✅ Time Management and Systems
No more letting your to-do list run your day. I’ll teach you how to plan your week with intention, use your calendar as a powerful tool to create peace in your life, and create systems that free up your time while keeping your practice moving forward.
✅ Unlimited Voice Message Support
You’re not doing this alone. Get instant access to me via voice messaging to celebrate wins, get feedback, and work through any challenge in real-time — so you stay supported, grounded, and focused between sessions.
✅ Business Strategy Vault
Gain access to my vault of over 15 targeted trainings (valued at $597) covering everything from lead generation and revenue planning to mindset shifts around visibility and leadership—so you can scale your practice sustainably and confidently.
"My practice was growing quickly...and I was putting out fires. I felt I was being controlled by my day.
Coaching has given me a completely new perspective on my calendar. Now I can work on my practice, and...I've banished my Sunday Scaries.
Within the first 3 months of coaching, I'd implemented procedures...that more than completely paid for the coaching. It's worth every dime."
Alison Carr
“Okay, just tell me how much it is!”
I get it. Pricing is part of the decision—but it’s not the decision.
Because this isn’t just another coaching program.
It’s your opportunity to transform the way you lead your practice and live your life.
Imagine being the calm in the chaos—handling anything your practice throws at you with confidence and clarity.
Picture ending your day with energy left over, time for the people you love, and a practice that runs smoothly without you having to do it all.
This is about becoming the lawyer and leader you’ve always wanted to be.
Just like you invested in law school to build your legal career, this is an investment in building the version of your practice that gives back to your life.
As a Master Certified Coach and former criminal prosecutor with over 15 years of experience, I’ve walked the path you’re on.
I’ve been overwhelmed, overworked, and stuck—until I gained the mindset and strategies I now teach my clients.
They tell me it’s worth $20,000—and not because it’s packed with information.
Because it changes how they think, how they work, how they live.
Let’s talk about the real cost:
How many hours are you spending spinning in stress?
How much money is left on the table because you don’t have the capacity to follow through on your big ideas?
What’s it worth to finally stop overworking, overthinking, and overextending?
If your hourly rate is $250 and you reclaim just 2 hours a week, that’s $26,000 a year.
Not to mention the peace of mind, quality time with loved ones, and space to just be.
If you're ready to make this shift, here’s your next step:
Book a complimentary Strategy Session.
We’ll talk about what’s keeping you stuck, where you want to go, and whether this private coaching experience is the right fit to get you there.
You don’t need to have it all figured out yet.
You just need to take the first step.
"I felt like a hamster on a wheel. I knew something had to change.
"I thought my to-do list was working. It was not.
"Using a calendar calms your practice down because you are calmer. You can use it to calm your nervous system.
"I was surprised coaching was so easy. I'm now a firm believer the answer is not to work harder. The answer is to work smarter. And we can work smarter with the tools Dina gives us.
"Coaching has saved my life professionally. Now I can do what I love in a way that is healthy and helps me grow personally and professionally without the stress."

THE CHOICE
So now, it's time to make a choice.
You have two options in front of you:
OPTION #1:
Continue listening to podcasts, feeling temporarily better, and staying stuck like a hamster on a wheel.
Keep spinning in the same overwhelmed cycle, watching your dreams slip away.
OPTION #2:
Invest in yourself and take decisive action to create the life you know you're meant to have—a life where you're in control.
If you choose nothing, here's what awaits you:
You'll remain trapped in the same exhausting patterns.
You'll feel more disconnected from your loved ones, miss out on increasing your revenue, and watch the life you dreamed of after law school fade further away.
You'll keep consuming content that provides momentary relief, only to fall back into the same habits keeping you stuck.
If you're ready to break free, then the choice is clear.
(And if you've read this far, that tells me you're ready.)
Book a Strategy Session today and commit to making steady consistent progress to create:
✅ More time freedom

These are actual client results:
✅ What do we do in a coaching session?
Coaching sessions are your personalized success blueprint.
Unlike generic advice, these are deeply transformative conversations where we dive into your specific challenges, break through your limiting beliefs, and create a tailored strategy that aligns with your unique goals.
Think of it as having a dedicated success partner who's 100% committed to helping you level up your legal practice and personal fulfillment.
We'll work together to identify your obstacles, design actionable solutions, and hold you accountable to the extraordinary lawyer and professional you're meant to be.
✅ How is coaching different from what I'm learning on Be a Better Lawyer podcast?
The podcast is like getting a taste of the meal – coaching is the full, gourmet experience.
While the podcast provides valuable insights and strategies, coaching takes those concepts and customizes them specifically to your practice, your challenges, and your goals.
It's the difference between reading a recipe and having a master chef guide you through creating a perfect dish.
In coaching, you'll get personalized guidance, real-time problem-solving, and a strategic approach that goes far beyond general advice. We'll dive deep into your unique situation, transforming knowledge into tangible results.
✅ Am I going to be able to do this?
Absolutely!
In fact, the very fact you're asking this question shows you're already more capable than you realize.
Many of my most successful clients started exactly where you are – doubting themselves but hungry for change.
My private coaching program is specifically designed to meet you where you are and guide you step by step.
I don't just throw information at you; I provide a supportive framework that breaks down complex challenges into manageable, achievable actions.
Your potential is far greater than what you can currently imagine, and I'm here to help you unlock it.
✅ Will this take a lot of time?
I know time is your most precious resource. That's precisely why this program is meticulously crafted to be time-efficient and high-impact.
Our weekly sessions are 50 minutes. Most clients find the time invested in coaching actually creates more time in their day by helping them work smarter, not harder. You'll learn to prioritize, eliminate time-wasters, focus on what truly moves the needle in your practice and life, as well as silence the critic in your brain wasting the most time of all.
✅ What if I don't follow through on what I say I want?
Great question – and it reveals a common fear many lawyers have.
My program isn't just about information; it's about transformation.
I've built in multiple layers of accountability, including direct Voxer support and structured check-ins.
If you start to slip, I'll be there to catch you, redirect you, and reignite your motivation. Remember, not following through is a choice – and I'm here to help you choose success, even when it feels challenging.
✅ What if I need to think about it some more?
I hear you, and taking time to make a decision is important.
However, I want to be direct: opportunities like this don't wait forever.
My coaching spots are limited.
More importantly, every day you wait is another day delaying your transformation.
The best time to invest in yourself was yesterday; the next best time is right now.
If you're feeling that spark of possibility, trust it.
Your future self will thank you for taking action today.
✅ I'm afraid I'm not fixable.
You're not alone if you think this.
First, you're not broken, so there's nothing needing "fixing."
You're 100% complete.
What may be "missing" is your understanding of how the brain works and how to use your brain's tendencies for you instead of against you.
That's where I come in.
Book a call with me, and let's get started.
✅ I have hearings that pop up out of nowhere. What if I need to reschedule?
As a former prosecutor, I understand that lawyers sometimes get last minute hearings, assignments, etc.
I'm flexible with scheduling. We can talk more about this when you book your Strategy Session.
✅ Do you coach men?
Yes! If you're a lawyer, I can help you.
✅ What topics do you coach on?
My focus is time management and business growth, and coaching always expands into other areas of our lives. The reason? The way we do one thing is the way we do everything. It's natural that topics other than the law come up too.
Here's some topics I coach clients on:
I'm here to make your life easier. You can come to me intending to work on time management, and we'll work on whatever you need in our session that week. I've got you.
Also, you NEVER have to come to a session feeling "ready" or with a topic to get coached on.
As a Master Certified Coach and over 15 years as a criminal prosecutor, I've got you covered. All you need to do is show up, and I'll take it from there.
✅ Are conversations confidential?
Absolutely. While we talk about your thoughts about partners, clients, and cases, we don't name names. Also, I don't share specifics about anything we talk about unless I get permission from you to share.
✅ Is coaching different from therapy?
Yes.
Therapy is past-focused while coaching is future-focused.
A therapist generally asks about your past and helps you work through unresolved issues impacting your present.
Coaching starts with your present, and it focuses on creating the future you want. We uncover the mindset leading to undesireable outcomes in your life, and we work through those to help you achieve your goals.
I've had clients in both therapy and coaching, and they found them complementary not redundant.
✅ I want to work with you, but shouldn't I be able to figure this out on my own?
I used to think this, so I'll share with you what I discovered.
This mindset so many of us have of believing we should be able to "figure it out on our own" comes from a broken paradigm we've been taught.
We've been taught we should be independent and if we ask for help, someone will think we don't know what we're doing. And if someone things we don't know what we're doing, they'll think less of us.
This paradigm has made us work harder and longer hours until the wheels nearly come off the car.
It's madness!
Unfortunately, the legal profession doesn't always offer the supportive environments we need to feel comfortable asking for help.
Coaching provides a safe, supportive and non-judgmental environment for you to voice what you need and want for yourself.
Book a call with me, and we'll take it from there.
