Course Description
Length: 60min Published: 9/17/2025 
Loneliness isn’t just a personal issue; it’s a silent epidemic in the legal profession that’s eroding mental health, performance, and connection across all levels of practice. In this timely and eye-opening program, executive coach and former entertainment lawyer Marlo Lyons, J.D., explores the neurobiology of loneliness, the hidden toll it takes on junior and senior attorneys alike, and how it contributes to burnout, substance misuse, and even suicidal ideation. With data-driven insight, real-world case studies, and practical solutions, this session reveals how to build meaningful peer connections, foster psychological safety, and create a culture where no lawyer has to suffer in silence. If you've ever felt disconnected despite being surrounded by people, this CLE is for you.
