The Lawyer Life Podcast
Countless studies confirm that our attorneys are struggling with substance abuse, mental health challenges, anxiety, and stress at alarming rates.
While these challenges cannot be attributed to any one cause, many of these studies have demonstrated the need for greater support and mentorship in the legal profession.
At the same time, as attorneys, we need to develop better and healthier coping skills to overcome the inevitable challenges of practicing law.
This podcast endeavors to do just that. Get practical skills and tools to change the way you interact with your career and start living differently.

Welcome to this 5 minute guided meditation to help you reset without losing momentum
Find a comfortable seat. Close your eyes if you feel safe doing so. Let’s begin.
Take a deep breath in through your nose…
Hold for a moment at the top…
And slowly exhale through your mouth.
Let your shoulders soften.
Let your jaw unclench.
Let yourself be here—now.
You’ve been moving. Planning. Pushing.
And now, you’re pausing—not because you’re quitting,
but because you’re honoring the rhythm of your energy.
Let your breath move naturally—no need to control it.
Just feel it—arriving...and leaving.
With each breath out, let go of just a little more tension.
Now bring your attention to your body.
Notice any areas that feel heavy or tight.
No need to fix anything—just observe.
Say silently to yourself:
“I am allowed to rest.”
“I can pause and still make progress.”
“My energy is valuable, and I choose to protect it.”
Let those words echo inside you.
And as you breathe, imagine that your pause is fueling a small fire inside—
A fire that burns steadily, even when you’re still.
Momentum is not constant motion.
It’s sustained energy.
And this moment?
This moment is part of your momentum.
Take one more deep breath in—
Feel it gather.
And release it slowly—
Letting your whole body soften just a little more.
[Closing – 40 seconds]
When you’re ready, start to bring some small movement back into your body—wiggle your fingers or stretch gently.
Take one final breath in...
And as you exhale, gently open your eyes.
You’ve just taken 5 minutes for yourself.
And in doing so, you’ve protected your momentum.
Thanks for meditating with me today. If this helped you, I’d love for you to share it or revisit it anytime you need a reset.
Until next time—keep going, and keep pausing.
Both are part of the journey.
