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.
