Spill Your Guts podcast had the privilege of speaking with Cayce Lynch, National Managing Partner at Tyson & Mendes, about the reality of workplace mental health in the legal profession. Tyson & Mendes has become a trailblazer in prioritizing mental well-being—proving that law firms can support both high performance and human sustainability.

In this raw and honest conversation, Cayce shared her personal mental health journey, the ways she’s coped, and how those experiences have fueled her mission to create a culture where well-being isn’t just an afterthought, but a priority. She opened up about the staggering rates of stress, burnout, and even suicide in the legal field, and why leaders need to be at the forefront of change.

We also explored the unique pressures of being a woman in a leadership role, the impact of imposter phenomenon, and the work Cayce has done to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in an industry historically dominated by male leaders.

This conversation is a must-listen for anyone navigating high-stakes work environments, questioning how to balance ambition with well-being, or looking for ways to foster real cultural change. Cayce’s insights left us inspired, challenged, and more determined than ever to keep pushing for workplaces where people can truly thrive.
