#Divorce Series: International Perspectives with Clarissa Rayward (Queensland)// Director, Brisbane Family Law Centre and Founder/Host, Happy Lawyer Happy Life Podcast

<p>In this new episode of the divorce series, I have the privilege of interviewing Clarissa Rayward. She is the Director of Brisbane Family Law Centre as well as a podcaster, author, business coach and speaker. It is evident that she loves people and has fun working and doing what she does best. Her motivation comes from her desire to make a difference in the world and to bring about social justice. At an earlier stage of almost letting go of her practice, Clarissa journeyed down a path of discovering the psychology behind happiness and positivity. Tune in to find out the five key things mentioned in her book “Happy Lawyer, Happy Life – How to be happy in Law and in Life” that will give you the best chance of happiness as you navigate between work and relationships. You cannot take emotions out of family law but you can begin to learn and practice the technique of differentiating empathy versus sympathy. Clarissa reminds us to never forget the beautiful and good things, and if you are thinking of pursuing law or are at a crossroad to start your own firm, just do it!</p> <p>You can reach out to Clarissa Rayward through the following platforms:&nbsp;</p> <p>Email: <a href="mailto:hello@happylawyerhappylife.com">hello@happylawyerhappylife.com</a></p> <p>Website: <a href="http://www.happylawyerhappylife.com/">www.happylawyerhappylife.com</a></p> <p>Podcast: <a href="http://www.thehappyfamilylawyer.com/podcast">www.thehappyfamilylawyer.com/podcast</a></p> <p>Webinar replay: <a href="https://youtu.be/K-5BU3PooJc">https://youtu.be/K-5BU3PooJc</a></p> <p>Books: “Happy Lawyer Happy Life- How to be happy in Law and in Life” <a href="https://bit.ly/2Hnry1R">https://bit.ly/2Hnry1R</a></p> <p>“Splitsville - How to separate, stay out of Court and stay friends” <a href="https://bit.ly/3klRWrc">https://bit.ly/3klRWrc</a></p>
