We’re joined by Lauren Cassimatis, founder of Criminal Law Mums, a professional development, parental support, and networking group for lawyer mothers and related professionals. Lauren is a criminal lawyer and Principal Director of Gallant Law.
Lauren joins us to share how she manages the juggle as a criminal lawyer mum. Highlights from this episode include:
- Starting the day about 5:30am – who can relate to that!?
- The feeling of working 24/7 with the juggle of children and establishing a brand-new business
- Is running your own business really a magic bullet to managing the juggle?
- How to manage boundaries between work and family – setting boundaries around client expectations, better time management
- The illusion of flexibility as a business owner
- The desire to set an example for our children – what are we representing to them as we go about our juggle?
- Difficulties engaging in networking as working mothers – and how this led to Lauren founding Criminal Law Mums
- The value in getting to know colleagues on a deeper, more personal level
- Bring your whole self – women feel like they have to put on a different persona, but we shouldn’t. Own who you really are!
- “Have faith and never be afraid”
