Two Coworkers Gone—Is My Legal Career Killing Me? 😰

I’m a female attorney in a big city law firm, and recently, two of my coworkers—both in their 50s—died suddenly from heart attacks. It’s shaken me to my core. The stress in this job is relentless, and even the healthiest lawyers I know seem to suffer once they retire. I used to dream about financial independence for the freedom, but now I’m honestly scared for my health. I want to reduce my stress, work out more, spend time with my family, and eat better—but it feels impossible with my current workload. Has anyone else felt trapped by their career like this? How did you make changes before it was too late? I’m desperate for advice and hoping someone out there understands. 🫤 #JobCareer #CareerStress #WorkLifeBalance
