She is an outspoken advocate for New York city’s most vulnerable. For nearly a dozen years, she has fought courtroom battles representing over 3,000 New Yorkers who otherwise would not have been able to afford a lawyer. Every day, she sees firsthand how Manhattan’s criminal legal system functions one way for the rich and connected, and another way for everyone else. Eliza has earned a reputation as a relentless champion for the underdog. She has taken on the toughest of fights for the very people our system is most rigged against, including our Black and Brown neighbors and those in lower-income communities. In 2020, Eliza announced her candidacy for Manhattan District Attorney, running on a platform designed to take on the inequities in our system — transforming the criminal legal system in New York in order to make our city safer for everyone. And yes, you guessed it, she’s ADHD too! How does she keep it all together? That’s what we’re talking about today. Enjoy!   [Eliza’s photo credit:  Juan Patino Photography]     ----------    ***CORONA VIRUS EDITION***   In this episode Peter & Eliza Orlins discuss:   1:42  -  Intro and welcome Eliza   3:06  -  On what prompted Eliza to take the not-so-easy path of running for office in NYC and championing those unable to afford even basic services that most take for granted   5:58  -  On working for the Legal Aid Society and handling the pace of doing 147 different things at any given moment    9:38  -  On the secrets and advice of keeping your sanity when you’re being pulled into so many different directions, which for those with ADHD isn’t the most ideal situation    11:35  -  On coping mechanisms on a more calm day/downtime.  How do you keep sane?   13:11  -  On understanding strengths and weaknesses and how that’s a sign of using your ADHD to your advantage   14:08 -  On taking control of helpful devices/tools at your disposal, (phone, calendar, Slack, texts), and which routines are helpful in preventing yourself from getting distracted/staying focused.   15:46  -  On the advantage of turning off Notifications   17:12  -  On whether or not Eliza is getting any sleep..?   19:03  -  How can people find you?  www.ElizaOrlins.com  @ElizaOrlins on Twitter  @EOrlins on INSTA  and @ElizaOrlinsForNY on Facebook   19:31  -  Thank you so much Eliza!
