Description

Law is one of the most prestigious and traditional careers in Asia — but what happens when the dream job comes at a cost you didn’t expect?


We speak with *Lalitha Rajah* (former lawyer turned yoga teacher & mom of two) and *Iman Ibrahim* (former divorce lawyer, now a burnout coach).

🔹 What sacrifices lie behind the glamour of the profession?

🔹 Why do so many lawyers quietly walk away after years of hard work?

🔹 And what unexpected skills from law still shape their lives today?


If you’ve ever wondered whether the price of prestige is worth paying — tune in. This is an honest conversation you don’t want to miss.
