Mom Life and Law

Kailey Jacomet has created a law career that fits around her priorities and her lifestyle, not a life that fits around her law practice. When she first told me that, it struck me that most of us have built lives around our law practice. We fit family, fun, passions, and hobbies in the margins around our demanding careers. But, how do you create the life and law career that you actually want? Kailey knew from a young age that she wanted to be a lawyer and she wanted to be a mom. Reconciling how she could do both took creativity and courage. As a mom of two, Kailey now has a thriving IP solo practice and coaching business. She works part time and is able to be present for her family in a way that feels aligned with her priorities and values. In this episode, Kailey shares her journey on making the leap from government litigation to solo practice and innovative strategies for marketing and business development that have contributed to her firm's success. Kailey is on a mission to help other women lawyers create a life and law practice that actually work for them. From Oct. 4-8, 2021, she is offering a free interactive training to help you learn how to lawyer on your own terms [https://lawstyle.co/lawyer-on-your-own-terms]. She will help you create a new vision of what your legal career can look like that is built around your most important priorities in life.

Randi Johnson is a former law firm owner, mother of two daughters, business strategist, and end of life and bereavement doula. Before meeting Randi, I had never known you could seek support from an advocate at the end of your life in the same way you do while giving birth. Birth doulas are more commonly known, but there are professionals who train to serve people who are dying. Randi Johnson took an unconventional path away from the practice of law and law firm ownership to follow her passion to do this work. She chose fulfilling her true calling over the practice of law. In this episode, we dive into a thought-provoking discussion about honoring what you feel called to do, making that a priority, and finding the courage to go for it. She talks about how she set priorities in her life, what drove her to start her work as a death doula, and why it making that choice was so important.

Jeena Cho is a mom to a two-year-old daughter, mindfulness and meditation teacher, coach for anxious lawyers, and recovering lawyer with nearly 15 years of practice experience. Since leaving the practice of law, Jeena has focused her career on helping lawyers improve their wellbeing with stress and anxiety management through her book, speaking engagements, and one-on-one coaching. Jeena shares details about her experience with anxiety and how it motivated her to help other lawyers. Lawyers receive a lot of messages about wellbeing that focus on what you, the individual, can do, to improve your stress and anxiety levels. Jeena acknowledges that the problem is not just with the individual. There are systemic factors at play. And, if you use mindfulness to quiet the noise around you, focus on self-knowledge, and reflect on the boundaries that you need, you can show up in a way to affect the change you want to see in the profession. That is not always easy. In this episode, Jeena shares details on how to incorporate self-care and boundaries into your wellness plan. Doing so will help you design a life that feels aligned with your values, manage your stress and anxiety, and make the impact you desire to make.
