ABOUT ME
I'm Karen McClure
I'm a lawyer and a career strategist for lawyers who are unhappy with their careers.
I hated being a lawyer for most of my career.
I thought the only option was to keep going and deal with it, but, over time, I figured out how to make it work in a way that didn’t drain me.
Now I run a law practice I don’t dread. I work about 20 to 30 hours a week and have time and energy for the rest of my life.
I work with other attorneys who feel stuck or frustrated. If being a lawyer still makes sense, we’ll talk about how to do it in a way that feels more manageable. If it doesn’t, we’ll figure out what does and how to start moving in that direction.
I went to law school because I had an English degree and no idea what I wanted to do next.
I’ve been a lawyer since 2006, and for a long time, I thought I’d made a huge mistake. I figured this was it. Just settle in and stay unhappy.
I didn’t like the work, but I was scared to walk away. I worried people would judge me, and I didn’t want to end up broke or feel like a failure.
I felt stuck and convinced myself I just had to deal with it. But I’ve since learned that’s not true. There are other ways forward, and you don’t have to stay miserable.
HOW COACHING WORKS
I'll Support You Every Step of the Way.
STEP 1
Consultation
We'll have a candid conversation where we dig into why practicing law feels so heavy, what’s been keeping you stuck, and what support could help you finally create a career and life you don’t dread.
STEP 2
Unique Protocol
After our initial consultation, I'll design an individualized protocol for you based on what you tell me.
STEP 3
Individual Coaching
We'll meet once a week by Google Meet, phone, or in person, depending on what works best for you. Each week, we'll work towards your goal of creating a career that aligns with your purpose and passion.
STEP 4
Ongoing Support
Regular check-ins and additional support as needed to help you achieve and maintain their goals over time.
FAQs
I like to think of coaching as structured problem-solving for your life, with someone who actually listens and helps you take action. A coach is like a trusted advisor who helps you sort through the chaos, ask the right questions, and come up with real, actionable solutions.
Unlike therapy, which focuses on past trauma, coaching is future-focused. We figure out what’s next and how to get you there. And no, I won’t tell you to “just think positive” or “manifest your dream job.” This is practical, strategic, and designed specifically for people who like logic (aka, lawyers like you).
If you're committed, and you show up and do the work, it works.
Coaching isn’t magic. It’s a process. I give you the tools, guidance, and structure to move forward, and if you’re used to solving problems for your clients, you can absolutely solve this one for yourself with the right support.
Perfect. This coaching isn’t about convincing you to quit. It’s about making an informed decision. Maybe you need better boundaries, a different practice area, or just a mindset shift.
Or maybe you really do need an exit plan.
Either way, we figure it out before you make a move you regret.
You can look at it that way, or you can ask yourself how much longer you want to feel terrible. We only have so many days. Why spend them feeling stuck?
Coaching sessions are structured and efficient. We get in, get clarity, and get you moving forward.
