Meet Megan Grandinetti, a lawyer turned health coach and yoga teacher. She practiced at Cleary Gottlieb and ~~Slavies~~ Davies Ward before launching her health coaching practice. She explains her professional and personal journey — and offers lifestyle tips for Biglaw attorneys — in this interview with Spencer Mazyck of Bloomberg Law:
