It’s that complicated time of year where many of us try to celebrate holidays and fill our homes with peace, love, and joy while feeling the opposite at work!

We get to experience the competing emotions of joy and stress. As courtrooms and boardrooms grow quiet and firms prepare for the year's clos...

As a lawyer or legal professional, you’re no stranger to the high demands and stress that accompany your career. However, despite the complexities of law and the craziness of your daily tasks, there's a powerful, yet often underutilized, tool that can significantly enhance your professional and p...

True confession: Sometimes I care too much about what other people think. 

There, I said it. I know I teach this stuff, but I’d be lying to you if I said that I have some superhuman power to stand strong in my own confidence and self-worth all the time, not caring a bit what others think about me. ...

Every year on October 10th, the world comes together to observe World Mental Health Day. This day has its root...

 The change of seasons from summer to fall always gets makes me a little sad. I don’t really love the impending winter (yep, I live in the wrong state.) I’m a July baby, and I love the heat of a hot summer day. 

Fall seems to whisper “Get your snowboots ready” and “You better make the most of this ...
