Megan Smiley is the founder of Megan Smiley Coaching and the host of The Lawyer’s Escape Pod.

She helps lawyers and other professionals who feel called to something more creative and purposeful ditch the grind and design their own heart-centered businesses.

Before taking the leap into entrepreneurship, Megan practiced corporate law and worked for a law school as the Director of International Programs.
