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.

Lawyers Aren’t Machines: Sustainable Performance in Law - with Will Jordan
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of The Wellness Esquire Podcast, Ariella Cohen Coleman speaks with William Jordan about anxiety, depression, and the hidden mental health challenges in the legal profession.
Will shares his journey from early-career overwhelm to seeking help, starting treatment, and now speaking openly about lawyer mental health. They explore the “mask” many attorneys wear, how negative self-talk impacts performance, and how untreated anxiety can lead to burnout, missed deadlines, and even malpractice.
A candid conversation on stigma, resilience, and why mental health is essential to ethical, sustainable lawyering.
