8: The Power of Positive Connection with Martha Knudson

We’re talking about something you don’t hear about enough in the legal profession: personal connection. Specifically positive personal connection. The bond that’s created when we reach out and honestly share our experience with another person who compassionately listens and empathizes. I know, you might already be feeling a bit uncomfortable, but that’s why this conversation is so important.

We have a wellness deficit in our profession because we’ve been trained and conditioned to be uncomfortable when it comes to not only connection but many aspects of health and wellness - particularly mental health.

Our guest today is Martha Knudson, the Executive Director of the Utah State Bar’s Well-Being Committee. In addition to her J.D., Martha holds a master’s degree in Applied Positive Psychology. She’s a frequent speaker on well-being topics and publishes articles related to well-being and the legal profession. Basically, she knows her stuff.

Join us as we discuss why positive connection is so important, why it’s harder for solo and small-firm lawyers to find it, and what simple things we can do today to cultivate well-being in our practice.
