The Wellness Esquire Podcast
Join me, Ariella Cohen Coleman, as I explore a bold new path where wellbeing, happiness, and authenticity drive performance and success.
On The Wellness Esquire Podcast, I have honest, vulnerable conversations with attorneys and thought leaders about what it really takes to thrive in law - mentally, emotionally, and professionally. We cover the things people are often afraid or embarrassed to talk about: anxiety, burnout, addiction, imposter syndrome, misery, anger, alcohol, depression, health challenges, loss, mistakes, and the realities of legal culture.
Each episode blends personal storytelling with practical insights to help lawyers and other high-performing professionals build careers that energize rather than exhaust.
Subscribe for weekly Wellness Wednesday episodes and join the movement toward a healthier, more fulfilling way to work and live.

Unpacking Burnout & Emotional Intelligence in Law (Part II) - with Rich Bracken
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if burnout wasn’t the price of success in law?
In this episode of The Wellness Esquire Podcast, Ariella Coleman and Rich Bracken explore what the legal profession could look like if emotional intelligence mattered as much as technical skill. They discuss building psychologically safe, high-performing environments rooted in self-awareness—not silent stress.
Rich shares how storytelling, empathy, and authentic leadership drive real impact, while Ariella reframes self-care as a strategy for sustainable performance. Together, they unpack burnout prevention, boundaries, and small mindset shifts that can transform a legal career.
A grounded, insightful (and often funny) conversation on practicing law with clarity, resilience, and humanity—without losing yourself in the process.
