My guest blog post for the Lawyers with Depression website is up today. It's based on a presentation I gave at the Law Society of New Brunswick Mental Health and Wellness Symposium last week and includes 5 mental health tips from The Wellness Docket through a baseball lens.

Thanks to Dan Lukasik for asking me to write this post! It went through three drafts before I trusted myself enough to finish it.

I appreciate all the positive feedback I have been receiving following my presentation at the LSNB/CBA Mental Health and Wellness Webcast last Friday, May 22, 2026. Here's an infographic summary of the presentation entitled, "On Lawyering and Baseball (10 Real Wellness Tips from The Wellness Docket - Through a Baseball Lens)".

Thanks to all who attended and to the Law Society and CBA NB for having me!

Stepping up to the plate on Friday. ⚾

I'm presenting at the Law Society's Mental Health & Wellness Symposium and this year, I'm bringing baseball into the conversation (yes, you read that correctly!)

"On Lawyering and Baseball" provides 10 wellness tips drawn from The Wellness Docket, framed around the one sport where failure is literally built into the game. Even the best hitters fail 7 out of 10 times. Sound familiar?

I'm excited to join so many people who care about this work. See you Friday, May 22, 2026. ⚖️🎙️

What if the most powerful presence in a courtroom wasn't a judge, a lawyer, or a witness, but a dog? 🐕

Episode 12 of The Wellness Docket took me to Shediac, New Brunswick, where I sat down with Kristal LeBlanc of Justice Facility Dogs NB and met the incredible Justice Facility Dogs: Winston, Marielle and Iker. 🐾

These ADI-certified dogs accompany vulnerable victims and witnesses through every stage of the justice process, from RCMP interviews, forensic medical exams, statement reviews, and the witness stand itself. And the science behind it? Remarkable. Cortisol down. Oxytocin up. Memory recall restored.

One client told Kristal: "I simply wouldn't have testified without Winston." 💖

That's not a support animal. That's a lifeline. New episode is out now. Links below. 🎙️

This was one of my favourite moments of the next episode of the Wellness Docket! You can’t fake my expression; I was legitimately caught off guard by learning how truly amazing (and expensive) these dogs really are! Winston was pretty humble about it all. 😄

Check out Episode 12 when it’s posted on May 15, 2026.

To mark Mental Health Week, we're sharing some of the most-listened to episodes of The Wellness Docket. These are conversations with lawyers who've been through it and have come out the other side.

Because sometimes the most helpful thing isn't advice, it's just hearing someone say: "I went through something like that too."
