Episode 119: Let Them

Let Them Theory Dear Colleagues: Aside from keeping indoor plants alive (although my success rate is improving), one of the skills I’ve always struggled with in life is letting events or people just … be. That sage advice from The Beatles has gone way over my head. Until now. What do I mean by that? It means knowing when to stand down from an exhausting battle against events or people that can never be won. However, I’ve had a bit of a game-changing breakthrough in my mindset and I’m talking abo...

Have a Nice Day!

Harm Reduction

Dear Colleagues: What do skydiving, playing trumpet in a jazz band, jogging on the beach at sunrise and wrestling with puppies have in common? They are all activities seen on commercials for medicines, during the part when a triple-speed voice tells you that a harmful effect of Xenefphhotlyll could be bleeding from the eyes or instant combustion. Big Pharma doesn’t want to cause too much lasting harm to people. After all, it’s bad for business and there’s legal liability. But it could happen. Un...

The Illusion of Control

I’ve just finished watching a mind-bending show called Severance . It follows a group of people who work at a company so secretive and controlling that their minds are altered at the end of the working day, so that when they leave the office they have no memory of what happened there at all. Imagine that! Arriving home, unable to fume over the incompetent boss, the coworker who won’t get off their phone, the mystery thief stealing your lunch, a day of micro-frustrations. Actually, this doesn’t s...

The Joyful Succession

This weekend, the final episode of ‘Succession’ will air. After that, some of us will be bereft of more stories from the lives of a group of truly despicable, emotionally-stunted, ruthless siblings as they stab each other in the back in the battle to take over the family business of running a regime-changing media behemoth. To celebrate the brilliance of the show, the latest episode of The Joyful Attorney Podcast tries to identify which of the four children of Logan Roy can be considered the mos...

Social Media and Mental Health

A new episode of The Joyful Attorney Podcast has arrived and it's the hardest one I have ever had to write and record.

Embracing Reality

Contentment and security comes from accepting our reality as it is, not fighting against it. Healthy boundaries are the limits we set for ourselves in relationships and interactions with others, as well as the expectations we have for how others should treat us. These boundaries can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and they protect our well-being by ensuring that our needs and desires are respected. By setting and enforcing healthy boundaries, we demonstrate respect for ourselves and ou...

Our 100th Episode Special!

Dear Colleagues: Just under two years ago, I kicked off The Joyful Attorney Podcast with a mission statement: to bring joy, harmony and balance to the wonderful listeners with insightful mindset learnings and quite a lot of oversharing, as it turns out. Unlike 44% of all podcasts that are launched, I made it past three episodes. Indeed, according to Amplifi and Podnews there are only 760,000 that go past the 10-shows mark. And only 156,000 of those go out on a weekly basis. The Joyful Attorney P...
