PILRS
OF HOPE
Because the system is broken, not you
Public Interest Lawyer Resource & Support (PILRS) Group for Women/-identifying
You chose public interest law to make a difference, but it can take a toll on you. You are practicing amidst systemic inequities in a field historically created and led by privileged white men. No one teaches you how to handle the non-legal issues that affect you, including implicit biases, “bro”-culture, self-doubt, micro-aggressions, stress, compassion fatigue, and burnout.
If you are a woman/-identifying public interest lawyer, you are invited to join us to:
(1) investigate how the broken system affects you, and how to navigate it (not internalize it);
(2) step into your authentic power;
(3) learn how to thrive, not just survive.
3 Modules + 1 Bonus:
MODULE 1: THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN, NOT YOU
Shine a light on the ways the system, which was not built for you, affects you. What are the negative thoughts and feelings being internalized (e.g., self-doubt, self-blame, feeling like the outsider in the room), and what you can do about them?
MODULE 2: STEP INTO YOUR AUTHENTIC POWER Explore ways to shift your narrative and mindset, and stand in your power. Explore your strengths and values, and how to show up with greater confidence.
MODULE 3: PILLARS OF SUPPORT
Learn how to create support for your body and brain, so you can thrive and not just survive. You will learn why self-care is brain care, the neuroscience of stress, how to be more stress resilient, and the importance of allies.

What people say about your co-facilitators
Working with Jen taught me how to control and reduce negative repetitive thinking. I feel more confident, and I’ve become a stronger self-advocate and more internally balanced.
Soudie has an ability to hear the voices of those she served, and with her unique insight into what makes an engaged workplace, the office is now one of the most diverse and inclusive in the Commonwealth.
It’s hard to find enough adjectives to describe Soudie. Creative, committed, innovated, super smart, sophisticated in the understanding of human relationships and how to help move people along in the right direction.
Jen had a wide tool box of techniques that helped me deal with lack of motivation and emotional stress. Her focus on the brain was highly effective. I improved my personal and professional development, focus and confidence.
Jen understood my type A, stressed lawyer personality. She made me feel safe and helped me learn from [my] experiences like no one ever has. In general, Jen just got me. A weight has been lifted and I am on the right path!
Soudie is one of the best trainers I have ever worked with – insightful, incisive, and incomparable. I learn something new every time I’m in the same room with her.
