20: Denise Robinson, Prioritizing Health and Wellness in Your Career

In this episode of Topping the Curve I interview Denise Robinson, a former practicing attorney and owner of “The Still Center” where she focuses on wellness, and diversity, equity, and inclusion; particularly in the legal space, providing workshops and presentations to institutions and law schools. 

Time markers:
Start: how Denise entered her current field
14:45: mental health discussion

Throughout the episode Denise goes into depth with her experience in law school and how she has transformed that experience to ensure mental wellness: 

• Knowing the signs of mental illness and when to reach out for help
• Finding and using a social network and support system
• Maintaining wellness during the virtual environment
• How institutions and law schools can do more to aid students
• Authenticity and surviving amongst different identities and backgrounds

Denise goes into depth about all of the above and more! A lot of things we discussed can be further explored in past episodes:
