From Lawyer to Storyteller with Shaun Bernstein

I am so pleased to welcome this week’s guest, Shaun Bernstein! Shaun is a good friend and colleague who is a journalist turned-lawyer, turned-storyteller, and owner of The Write Stuff Agency, which he founded in 2019 as an open-ended, content writing business. Since then, The Write Stuff Agency has blossomed to help various businesses across many industries tell their stories through web copies, blogs, newsletter articles, e-books, reports, and other storytelling media. 

Shaun gets really honest with us in this episode and provides insight into his own winding journey to law school, his experiences as a lawyer, and his eventual change in career paths. He discusses his academic background, his immense passion for storytelling, his personal health journey, his experience as a mature law student, and his perseverance in striving for the life he wants for himself. 

Listen to this episode to learn more about: 

• Shaun’s personal, academic, and professional journeys, which took many twists and turns to get him to where he is today, 
• Shaun’s experience writing and studying for the LSAT and how it’s totally okay to write a standardized test multiple times - this shouldn’t be a point of shame for applicants because this absolutely does not define who you are or will be as a professional or as a student, 
• Shaun’s law school journey, and how his previous experiences and his graduate degree in journalism shaped his personal growth and outlook on law school, and 
• Shaun’s mental health journey and his choice to pursue a different career path that is informed by his passions and his own goals in life - and why it is so important to be in personal and professional alignment with ourselves.
