When you imagine a legal podcast, you might think of dry, monotone conversations surrounding old cases — or maybe long-winded discussions on changing statutes. However, the fact that a podcast is hosted by a lawyer doesn’t mean it has to be dull. It also doesn’t mean that it has to be exclusively focused on law. And if you tune in to “Made for Moore,” hosted by Moore Family Law Group founder Holly J. Moore, you’ll find that law-focused podcasts can even be entertaining. 

“Made for Moore” launched in February of 2024, and since then, it’s covered an eclectic range of topics. One episode follows Jennifer Gore-Cuthbert, a law firm founder, as she discusses navigating the challenges of running a business and offers advice on always showing up as a better version of yourself. A second features a Q&A with an image consultant exploring how listeners can discover their authentic personal style.  

Listeners don’t know what next week’s episode will cover — and that’s all part of the fun. 

The juxtaposition of Holly’s career with the content of her podcast might leave audience members scratching their heads. Shouldn’t a divorce lawyer’s podcast be about divorce? Or law? 

But when you think for a moment, the focus on human interest stories starts to make more sense. “Being a divorce lawyer has been one big human experiment and study into relationship dynamics,” Holly says. As a result, the podcast finds, studies, and appreciates many facets of the human experience. Many episodes delve into specific industries and subject areas, but a certain universality connects them — the incredible human capacity for perseverance and resilience. If you’re running low on inspiration, it’s worth a listen! 

“Made for Moore” isn’t a podcast explicitly focused on divorce, but that doesn’t mean it avoids the topic altogether. Some episodes are explicitly connected — like one where Holly talks with a divorce recovery coach about self-improvement and personal growth after a separation. (If you want to listen, the episode aired on March 6, 2024).  

By starting the podcast, Holly J. Moore is getting back to the heart of what pulled her toward family law. “Seeing someone else going through something difficult in life and having the plan for their life kind of fall apart — that resonated with me,” she says.  

Holly started Moore Family Law Group to help people going through some of the worst times in their lives. Since then, she’s witnessed incredible pain — and incredible resilience. It’s easy for some people to shrink from the world after divorce, fearing how it might harm them next. Others take the emotional pain and instability of divorce and pour it into reinventing themselves.  

“Some clients end up saying, ‘It’s the best thing that's ever happened to me,’ because they went and did what they're capable of doing. And they felt so much better about themselves,” Holly says. “And instead of sitting home every day, upset, frustrated, scared, mad, they were out in the world, using their skills and gifts, and feeling their own sense of worth rather than relying on someone else.”  

These people — and anyone else grieving a loss, moving on to a new chapter, looking to reinvent themselves, or just hoping to learn something new — will find something meaningful in an episode of “Made for Moore.” Holly has witnessed the emotional pain that comes in the wake of divorce, and she hopes to help listeners begin to heal that pain. 

Of course, some people are further along on their journey of self-discovery than others. If you’re reeling from the impact of a traumatic life event and don’t have a hobby or special interest you can throw yourself into; it can be hard to know where to begin. A podcast episode might not spark a life-changing transformation, but at the very least, it can open listeners’ minds to new experiences — or even give them a laugh when they need it most. 

You don’t have to be divorced to enjoy “Made for Moore.” Many episodes touch on improving interpersonal relationships and strengthening marriages. It does beg the question — why does a divorce lawyer’s podcast often help listeners with their marriages? “I am totally fine with trying to put myself out of business,” Holly J. Moore says. “If I can save a marriage, I’m happy.”
