Through relatable stories and candid insights, Ellie and Jack offer valuable lessons on resilience, connection, self-care, and the often-unspoken challenges of starting out in a firm—all delivered with empathy, honesty, and practical advice for new lawyers. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/flpa-talks-a-family-law-podcast-7029604/episodes/finding-your-feet-in-your-first-year-working-in-a-firm/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/flpa-talks-a-family-law-podcast-7029604/finding-your-feet-in-your-first-year-working-in-a-firm.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
