  • Summary

  • Have you ever wondered if you can actually have a successful legal career AND a family? Sure, work-life balance is all the rage, but can it really be done? Are you confused about whether working moms are supposed to be “leaning in”, “leaning out”, or just hoping there’s something to lean on when they fall over from sheer exhaustion? Then we have a podcast for you! Come join the dynamic ladies of The Mother Board podcast: three women with different backgrounds and backstories, but all of whom practice law in Atlanta, Georgia and share the common bond of maintaining an active role in their families while taking charge of their careers. In each episode, The Mother Board will take you into their personal and professional lives and engage in honest and thought-provoking discussions on what it means to be fulfilled and to succeed both personally and professionally.*The views and opinions expressed here are those of the podcast participants and do not reflect the official policy or position of the participants' respective employers.

  • Lifting as You Climb: a Conversation with Alison Christian
    Sep 1 2023

    When someone thinks of climbing the corporate ladder or succeeding in the corporate world, they often think of the cutthroat, political chess match that shows like Suits and Succession revolve around: The ones at the top didn’t get there without stepping on a few toes and eliminating whoever they perceived to be “competition.”

    Alison Christian begs to differ. Former shareholder of a defense firm, corporate counsel at Liberty Mutual, and co-founder of Ladder Down, Alison has a resume few can compete with, yet she’s always made the time and effort to help other women lawyers build and advance their careers. This week, The Mother Board picks Alison’s brain to see what makes her so successful, what Ladder Down means to her, and to find out that she's not so different from the rest of us.

  • Minding My Business With Anna Hedgepeth
    Aug 10 2023

    How do you build your business in way that is unique to you and gets the job done?  The Mother Board sits down with Anna Hedgepeth, a lawyer by training who doesn’t practice law – rather she uses her talents to promote and market the attorneys she works with, teaching them how to build their network and business paths in a way that centers their experience, their strengths, and their voice.  And, since The Mother Board always keeps it real, Anna discusses a personal challenge that she faced and what it means to be your authentic self.

  • Not Your "Daddy's Car" - A Chat about ChatGPT and AI in the Law
    Jul 27 2023

    Artificial Intelligence. AI. We've all heard about it before. If it wasn't from your programming friends, it was probably from some sci-fi movie about robots taking over the world. What for a long time has been seen as speculative fiction, however, has taken 2023 by storm. From ChatGPT to AI art, many industries have been affected by this new revolutionary and slightly scary tool, and the legal industry is one of them.


    On this week's episode of The Mother Board, we welcome Jacqueline Schafer, founder and CEO of Clearbrief, an AI-powered legal writing tool. Join us as Jacqueline teaches the board about AI and its potential impact on the legal industry!
