The first Wednesday of April is National Walking Day!

When you think of powerful well-being practices for lawyers, walking might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but maybe it should be.

In the fast-paced, high-pressure world of legal practice, we’re often glued to our...

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...

“Out with the old, in with the new,” as they say! I’m trying to take some time every day to sort through old papers, files, books, and other stuff that I just don’t need to make my workspace and home work better for me.

I’m an aspiring minimalist because I can’t ignore the benef...

Full confession: the last few weeks have felt a bit more harried than usual, and even though I try to be a good role model in all things well-being (you know, “walking the talk” and all), sometimes I have to remind myself of the very things I speak and coach about.
