In this episode, host Ariella Coleman sits down with Jordana for an honest conversation about navigating life and work in the legal world.
Jordana Confino is a lawyer, writer, and speaker who focuses on well-being and sustainability in the legal profession. Through her work, she explores perfectionism, burnout, and the pressure to perform, advocating for self-compassion, boundaries, and healthier professional cultures—especially for women and working parents.
Ariella and Jordana talk about their personal journeys, the pressure of perfectionism, and how it quietly impacts mental health. Together, they explore why well-being matters in the legal profession, how positive psychology shows up in everyday choices, and what it really means to set boundaries—especially while balancing a demanding career and motherhood.
The conversation invites more self-compassion and calls for a more supportive, human culture within the legal field.
