Can You Have a Family and Still Chase the Career You Love?

Cristina Perez sits down with trial attorneys Kate Llaurado and Rebekah Cooper for an honest conversation about building successful legal careers while raising families.

They discuss mentorship, the Gerry Spence Method, and how vulnerability and empathy can make attorneys more effective in the courtroom. Kate and Rebekah also open up about motherhood, career ambition, guilt, competing priorities, and the pressure to balance everything perfectly.

It’s a candid look at what it means to pursue meaningful work, show up for your family, and reject the idea that success requires sacrificing one for the other.
