Life & Law: Your Practice. Your Life. Your Terms.
Heather Moulder
Life & Law is podcast for lawyers who want to build real success without sacrificing themselves in the process. If you’ve done everything “right” and still feel stretched thin, boxed in, or quietly wondering is this really it? — You’re in the right place.

Hosted by Heather Moulder, former BigLaw partner turned lawyer business and leadership coach, Life & Law delivers practical, real-world conversations about what it actually takes to thrive in today’s legal profession without ignoring the realities of firm life, client demands, or personal limits.
Episodes blend business strategy, leadership development, and mindset tools to help you:
→ Build a profitable, sustainable law practice
→ Lead with clarity, confidence, and credibility
→ Make smarter business and career decisions
→ Set boundaries that stick
→ Define success on your terms
You’ll hear solo episodes from Heather alongside honest conversations with experts, each designed to help you course-correct, take back control, and create a legal career that supports your whole life (not just your billables).
New episodes drop every Tuesday (Fall, Winter, and Spring).
