Boundaries and Burnout: What Attorneys Can Learn from Nurses

Early in my nursing career, I believed being “good” meant giving everything I had—emotionally, mentally, and physically. It took a few sleepless nights and hard lessons to realize that compassion without boundaries leads straight to burnout.

Attorneys face a similar struggle. You carry your clients’ pain, fight for justice, and often forget to rest. But here’s something nursing taught me: boundaries don’t weaken your care—they preserve it.

  • They protect your clarity.
  • They sustain your compassion.
  • They keep you in the fight for the long run.

At Calm Journey, I help bridge the lessons of healthcare and law—because whether in a hospital or a courtroom, your best work depends on protecting your mental health first.

If we learn to protect our minds with the same dedication we protect our clients, we all win.
