I love that August is National Wellness Month.

Even though I'm writing this as the “official” month is ending, it’s a good reminder: wellness doesn’t live in one month. But it can feel like we may need it most in these shifting seasons, when routines speed up and life asks more...

One of my favorite moments during the holiday season is sitting in the quiet glow of our holiday tree early in the morning. It’s that magical time before the house comes alive, before my family wakes up and the day gets going. With a cup of coffee in hand, I take a moment to just...

Life as a lawyer or legal professional can feel like a whirlwind - deadlines, client demands, and never-ending to-do lists. It’s so easy to push our own passions to the back burner. But here’s the thing: making time for hobbies, especially creative ones, can change everything.

 Conferences are always a mix of connection and chaos, so I’ve developed a few habits to make things run smoother.

Take my nametag, for example. After forgetting it too many times, I now hang it on my hotel room door at night before I go to bed and put my bag and anything else I...

Happy World Mental Health Day! As we take a moment today to shine a light on the importance of mental health, there’s something we sometimes overlook: how friendships, especially in the workplace, can play a huge role in our overall well-being.

I wrote this note while traveling in Berlin, the city was still quiet, and my husband and daughters were fast asleep after a long and unexpectedly eventful journey. I had the lovely chance to enjoy some coffee and muesli as I thought about you! 

We anticipated our trip to Berlin...

 I was in my hometownhere (population about 900!) for my 30th high school reunion, and I couldn't wait to see my classmates for a BBQ get-together and bonfire. 

I grew up in that small town, and my parents have lived in the same house by the railroad tracks since I was born. My ...

Ideally, World Productivity Day is a chance to pause and think about how we manage our time and resources- so that’s what I tried to use it for.

Although the origins of World Productivity Day are a bit fuzzy, it's a day recognized globally for sharing tips and strategies to help...

I’ve been trying to see the Northern Lights for years. I have an app to alert me when a sighting is possible. I’m in the “Aurora Chasers” Facebook group. Every time I’d hear the lights might be visible, I’d hop in the car and drive north in hopes of seeing them, to no avail. Ever...

 Well-being Week in Law is a perfect time for those in the legal field to embrace and reflect on the significant role that well-being plays in both our personal and professional lives.

Originating from a broad movement to address the unique stresses and mental health challenges ...
