In my world, I help people plan for what’s next. But in my own life… I’m learning to trust it. There’s a season where everything feels uncertain where the old version of you no longer fits, but the new version hasn’t fully arrived. That’s where I am right now. And maybe that’s where growth actually happens. Not in control… but in transformation. 🦋 #nextchapter #becomingher #transformationseason #womeninlaw #evolvingalways taken in Mindful Counsel by @planwithmindful

My photographer told me I looked like Kate Hudson in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. And I couldn’t help but think… I have my own version of that story. How to Lose the Farm in 10 Days. When I was a brand new attorney, my grandfather asked me to draft his will. I said yes, even though I had never done one before. I did my research, followed the law, and created a valid will that left his farm to my brother. The entire family agreed. Everything went exactly as planned. Until it didn’t. Years later, after my brother got married and then divorced, the farm became marital property. He couldn’t afford to buy out his spouse, and the court ordered it sold. Just like that, our family farm was gone. For a long time, I carried that with me. I thought I had done something wrong. But here’s the truth most people don’t realize: A will does not protect your assets. It simply directs them through probate. If that farm had been placed in a properly structured trust, it could have been protected from divorce and preserved for the next generation. That experience shaped everything about how I practice today. This is not just what I do. It is why I do it. If you own property, a business, or anything that matters to you, the question is simple: How do you want your story to end? #estateplanning #attorneylife #trustplanning #probate #mindfulcounsel 📸 @checkeredjaguar 💄@glambykeira @lagencefashion @loftstudioaz taken in Mindful Counsel by @planwithmindful

Do you believe in yourself? Do you believe in the power that you possess? Many of us fall victim to looking at ourselves in the mirror and become our own worst critics. But let me tell you: even though we believe this is the way to motivate ourselves, it actually leads to feelings of defeat and fear. I challenge you to shift that mindset and start looking at yourself as your own best friend instead. What would change about your decisions and the way you structure your life if you did this for yourself? I bet a lot would change, in a positive way! At Mindful Counsel, we work with each of our clients from a place of compassion, intention, and mindfulness. We eliminate our clients’ fears of the future and help empower them so they can see they are worth the attention and the protection. Are you ready to make this happen for yourself? Let’s talk! taken in Mindful Counsel by @planwithmindful

The best attorney is the one who feels like part of your team. That may sound surprising coming from a lawyer. But at Mindful Counsel®, we’ve never wanted to be a traditional law firm. Yes, we help entrepreneurs protect their businesses through trademarks, contracts, business planning, and intellectual property. We help families protect what matters most through estate planning. But just as importantly, we believe our clients deserve to understand why we’re recommending something—not just sign on the dotted line. Education has always been at the heart of what we do. Whether we’re meeting in the office, talking through a strategy session over Zoom, or sharing educational content online, our goal is always the same: to replace confusion and overwhelm with confidence and clarity. Because legal planning shouldn’t leave you feeling intimidated. It should leave you feeling protected. Over the years, I’ve realized something I never expected. Many of our clients become more than clients. They become people we genuinely care about. We celebrate their businesses, cheer for their successes, grieve their losses, and walk beside them through some of life’s biggest milestones. That’s the kind of law practice I always hoped to build. And honestly… I wouldn’t have it any other way. 🤍 taken in Mindful Counsel by @planwithmindful

Why do trademark fees vary so much? One of the most common questions I hear is: “Why does one attorney charge $1,000 while another charges $5,000?” The truth is, the fee doesn’t tell the whole story. What really matters is what’s included. Think of a trademark application as a process—not just a form to fill out. Before an application is ever filed, there should be time spent evaluating whether your mark is actually protectable, performing a comprehensive clearance search, analyzing legal risks, selecting the appropriate classes, and strategically preparing the application. Then comes the part most people don’t realize. Once your application reaches the USPTO, an examining attorney reviews it. Sometimes everything goes smoothly. Other times, they issue an Office Action requiring legal analysis and a response. After that, the application may move through publication, possible opposition periods, and eventually into long-term maintenance. Some firms charge a lower upfront fee and bill separately for every step that follows. Others charge hourly as issues arise. At Mindful Counsel®, we’ve chosen a different approach. Our flat-fee trademark services are designed to include the vast majority of the work that typically arises during the registration process. That means our clients aren’t surprised by a new invoice every time the USPTO sends a routine request or issue. (Of course, truly extraordinary matters—such as litigation or contested TTAB proceedings—are handled separately.) The most important question isn’t: “What’s your fee?” It’s: “What’s included?” Trademark protection is an investment in your brand. Before comparing prices, make sure you’re comparing the scope of the services you’re actually receiving. If you’re considering protecting your brand, we’d be happy to walk you through the process and explain exactly what’s included before you make a decision. #TrademarkAttorney #TrademarkLaw #SmallBusinessOwner #Entrepreneur #BrandProtection IntellectualProperty BusinessLaw MindfulCounsel taken in Mindful Counsel by @planwithmindful

Maybe it’s the lawyer in me, but there are some things that genuinely hurt more than a punch to the gut. Watching a family grieve while also navigating probate because someone kept putting off their estate plan is one of them. Estate planning isn’t about expecting the worst. It’s about making one of life’s hardest moments just a little easier for the people you love. taken in Mindful Counsel by @planwithmindful

There was a season when I thought success meant constantly doing. These days, success looks a little different. It sounds like Fleetwood Mac. It tastes like an Aperol spritz. It feels like sunshine through the olive trees. The work will be there tomorrow. Today, I’m choosing presence. Happy Sunday, friends. 🤍🫒 taken in Mindful Counsel by @planwithmindful

And sometimes (scratch that.... oftentimes), that can be intimidating. But with the right person by your side to guide you and help you avoid costly mistakes, this process can actually be very exhilarating and empowering.

The fearless leader requested the day off … just kidding. She’s at the office 😂 Today I turn 58. Yesterday, I wasn’t sure I wanted to celebrate at all. This morning, I woke up to birthday messages from friends and family, grabbed my free birthday coffee from my favorite coffee shop, drove to the office with Noah Kahan playing, and realized something. Gratitude doesn’t require a perfect life. This past year has brought more change than I ever imagined. Some chapters ended. Others began. There were moments of heartbreak, uncertainty, rebuilding, and more than a few days when I wondered what was next. But today reminded me that two things can be true at the same time. You can grieve what you’ve lost and still be deeply grateful for what remains. Today, I’m grateful for the people who thought of me. For my son. For meaningful work that I still love. For good music, good coffee, and the privilege of another trip around the sun. At 58, I’m not trying to have everything figured out. I’m simply trying to become more myself with each passing year. If this birthday has taught me anything, it’s that life doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful. Sometimes the greatest gift isn’t a celebration. It’s the quiet realization that, even after life’s hardest seasons, there is still so much to look forward to. Here’s to another year of learning, growing, laughing, rebuilding, and saying yes to whatever comes next. And for that, and all of you, I am profoundly grateful. ❤️ taken in Mindful Counsel by @planwithmindful

Apparently we’re maxxing everything these days… so let’s talk about estate plan maxxing. 😄 It’s not about having the most complicated documents. It’s about making sure the plan you already have actually works when your family needs it. A few small updates today can save your loved ones a lot of heartache tomorrow. Have you reviewed your estate plan in the last five years? taken in Mindful Counsel by @planwithmindful

Confession from an attorney… The Monday after a holiday weekend is rarely when my best ideas show up. It’s usually when I catch up, get organized, and remember that not every day has to be revolutionary. Some days are simply about getting back into rhythm. And that’s enough. Anyone else easing back into the week? taken in Mindful Counsel by @planwithmindful
