This week’s episode is Nick Bloy, experienced wellbeing strategist, coach, international speaker, trainer, and founder of WELLBEING Republic Limited. Nick began his career as a solicitor before realising he was more of a “people person” and finding his way into HR. Years of hard work, and his own burnout story, later, Nick decided to found his own company to ​​help people harness their optimal mental state for peak performance and wellbeing.

I was really excited for this chat with Nick, and to learn from him about how he is working to solve some of law’s biggest problems. Some of the key topics we cover in this episode are:

• Nick’s journey from law to HR to wellbeing coaching and consultancy
• Burnout in the legal industry - how to avoid and recover from it
• What to do if you never “have enough time” (hint - it isn’t time that’s the problem)
• Anxiety and the fight-or-flight response
• The impact of poor wellbeing on work and relationships
• Important factors in good mental wellbeing
• Optimism for the future of the legal industry
