The WILL Podcast - For Women Lawyers Searching for Freedom, Flexibility and Fulfilment
Are you tired of having to “always be available,” the anxiety, and a nagging sense that something is missing?
The WILL Podcast offers an honest exploration for how to find relief, meaning and work that allows you to enjoy your life, (without throwing away all you’ve invested).
This podcast is for any woman lawyer who has ever questioned if they want to stay in law or not. Here you’ll find a window into how others have dealt with the money, identity and figured out what else they could do (in law or out).
Each episode is a journey into the lives of women lawyers who got fed up with the status quo. You’ll hear about persistent doubt, piles of debt, and physical and mental depletion. Our guests reveal how they navigated the expectations of workplace cultures and inner critics that keep them isolated and wondering “what’s wrong with me.”

From Perfectionist to Positive Psychology Coach with Jordana Confino
Imagine hitting burnout not once, but twice. The second time, you crash so hard, despite making many positive changes, you can’t walk!
Imagine being an A+ perfectionist and battling daily with your inner critic and people-pleasing tendencies.
Imagine meeting a therapist that finally switched you on to your values (and how everything you were doing was not in alignment with them).
Now imagine turning your crash and burn into becoming a “compassionate coach”. You now help women lawyers get out of their own way, learn how to be self-compassionate and create fulfilling mindsets.
You’ll love hearing how Jordana Confino went from lawyer to recovering-perfectionist and positive psychology coach. She shares how her personal experiences with burnout and physical pain helped her become the compassionate and successful coach she is today.
Jordana - profile and where to find her
Jordana is a certified professional coach, Positive Lawyering professor, and founder of JC Coaching & Consulting, a company devoted to helping lawyers and other high-achieving professionals get out of their own way so they can enjoy greater satisfaction and sustainable success in their lives and work.
As a self-described “recovering Type A+ perfectionist” herself, Jordana knows that many high-achieving, successful people hold limiting beliefs that prevent them from truly flourishing. Until fairly recently, she was one of them. But Jordana transformed her life leveraging the science of positive psychology and human motivation theory, and she is passionate about helping others do the same.
