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.

 But once, on a w...

 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 within our professio...

I once had the delightful opportunity to serve as the emcee for the University of Minnesota School of Law Alumnae Brunch, hosted by the Minnesota Law AluMNae Network during our alumni weekend. 

As someone who sits on the board and participated in the planning, the experience was not only a chance t...

I had an incredible (maybe once-in-a-lifetime) opportunity to take a road trip with my daughter to witness the awe-inspiring solar eclipse. 

This journey was not just about chasing celestial events (though that was absolutely incredible). There were several moments that turned into rich learning ex...

Heidi Brown, author of "The Flourishing Lawyer," was a guest expert on the EsquireWell Academy Monthly Masterclass.

We had such a fabulous discussion about the “Lawyer’s Peak Performance Playbook” - how to unleash your inner champion through mind, mood, and motion.

Something that I’ve been really ...

 International Day of Happiness (or “World Happiness Day”) serves as an important reminder of the significance of well-being in our lives. Yet, for the legal profession, this day brings to light some stark realities.

Recent findings have revealed that the United States has seen a decline in its Wor...

How often have we heard or even said to ourselves, "I'll sleep when I'm dead"? 

It's a common refrain in the legal profession, where long hours and late nights are often worn as badges of honor. But at what cost? 

Because sleep is so important, I invited my dear friend and EsquireWell sleep expert...

I was thinking of this quote by Malcolm Forbes:

 “Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are.”

Wow - gut punch. How many of us focus much more on the things we “are not” or “can’t do” instead of all of the skills, talents, abilities, achievements, and potential we act...

I’m on my phone … a lot. I’ll admit it. I try not to use it when I should otherwise be present with others, but even then, I’m guilty of a quick under-the-table email glance. I’m working on it, really I am.

Even recently, this came up in our family. Our daughter will be traveling internationally, s...

When my kids were off school, we decided to grab lunch at their favorite place (Cane’s Chicken) and go see a movie.

The box combo at Cane’s is a hefty meal, so we had a few extra chicken tenders. In my rush to get to lunch so that we could get to the movie on time, I’d forgotten to grab a cooler ba...

 I know the term “self-love” might sound a little cheesy to you, but we use terms like “self-confidence” all the time. If we can have confidence in ourselves, why can’t we show a little love to ourselves?

And the science backs up why some self-love doesn’t just make us feel good, it also makes us s...

I’m always watching for themes and patterns, and one thing that’s been coming up this last week in questions following the presentations I’m giving and in my private coaching is the theme of “seasons.”

I’m talking about seasons of life and work, and maybe I’m noticing it because it’s a theme in my ...
