Compelling Quotes:

"You can’t think properly without sleep. You can’t argue properly without sleep. You can’t write properly without sleep. You can’t speak properly without sleep."

"The best defense you have against opposing counsel is literally to get a good night's rest.”

"This is what I do every single day, helping lawyers create structures and routines and lives that can be joyful and thriving - and sleep is most often the first step."
