I am the Full Court Mom Just like on the basketball court, I take on life with a full court press. I invite you to join me as I share my professional and personal adventures, triumphs and tragedies. Of course, that description sounds way deeper than it should for this sort of blog. But you will learn a lot about what makes me the human I am.
Topics cover all facets of my life - professional, personal relationships, raising a willful daughter, the outdoors, my writing and whatever other topics I don't think will cause my mother to call me and yell at me for oversharing. And as I experience the everyday challenges of trying to lead a fulfilling, mindful and meaningful life while still accomplishing full loads of laundry before passing out watching Gilmore Girls re-runs, I invite you along for the ride to nod your head in solidarity ("I hear ya sister, right on") or comment or just know that you're not alone on this island. As professional women, we all deal with similar struggles in different ways. And so I am here to share mine with you because I dislike talking on the phone and my cats are not really good listeners. You're stuck with me friends, and thanks for being here. xoxo, Lauren |
Who Am I? |
I am a trial attorney who has spent the bulk of my legal career helping people who have been permanently injured. I also do what I can to help other personal injury lawyers successfully handle their clients' cases from intake through trial as a consultant and lecturer. I am also a writer - I have a young adult fantasy series under my belt, and I'm writing some books to help lawyers better do their jobs. I'm also a mom to an amazing daughter. I have the privilege of raising her, guiding her and driving her to dance class. When I'm not doing those things, I too love to dance, sing, perform, workout, run, hike and play tennis.

Why Should You Care? |
This is a good question. Sharing is caring, right? I don't really know what that means. But here's the thing: I'm here to share my little life adventures because I believe we all deserve to live fulfilled, authentic lives. I'm a work in progress in all aspects of my life. Working to help my clients, raising a child, running a household, maintaining a successful relationship and still having the time to enjoy the fun life offers is a daunting and nearly impossible job. Yet, we all try. Some of us succeed in every area, some of us seemingly fail in most areas. People always ask me, "How do you do it all?" My answer is, "I can't." So here, I'm going to tell you how I'm going to do better at the things that truly matter without sacrificing my soul.
