Have you ever noticed a theme emerging in your life? Maybe it's something subtle, like a word, a feeling, or an experience that seems to pop up repeatedly, as if it’s trying to tell you something. These themes often point to areas of growth, insight, or even just simple reminders to slow...
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.
For me,...
(Today’s note is a little more personal, but it also ties into our legal workplaces and one of the main reasons I do the work I do.)
Tomorrow is National Adoption Day, a day close to my heart. As the mom of three incredible children - two of whom are adopted - I’ve seen firsthand and...
This week marks a personal milestone: I’m celebrating three years in business! Happy birthday to EsquireWell!
With this anniversary, I’ve taken a step back to think about what’s working, what I want to keep, and where I’d like to make some changes. I’ve refreshed my...
I hope you’ve had a productive, energizing week. I’m guessing it’s been a busy one for you (it sure has been for me), so I hope your Friday is providing an off-ramp into a restful, restorative weekend!

Greetings from Berlin!
I wrote this note to you this morning as 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! (I had intended to write...
I hope you're all enjoying the summer as much as we are in my family!
I’m at the Professional Development Consortium (PDC) conference in San Diego, but I wanted to pop into your inbox and share a personal story from our family’s Fourth of July celebrations last week that offered...
I’m writing this to you from my hometown of Franklin Grove, Illinois (population 950). I’m here visiting my family for Father’s Day weekend, so I get to see both my dad and mom, but also my 91-year-old grandmother who still lives nearby.
My family and I don’t always see...
Last week, my neighbors moved away after several years of living up the street. Although we didn't know each other well, we occasionally encountered each other at neighborhood gatherings. They certainly seemed nice enough, and we always exchanged pleasantries and small talk at the mailbox or...
As Memorial Day weekend approaches here in the United States, many of us in the legal profession are gearing up for a much-needed break. This long holiday weekend isn't just a time to honor and remember those who have served; it's also an opportunity to recharge our own batteries.
