Women play a major role in the business of law firms but have few safe spaces to come together through life's highs and lows. If the people who champion and encourage you come from your professional network, why not invite them into your personal life?

It is this crossover concept that helped founders Carson Bayer Gillespie and Melissa Lamore spark the idea for the League. A network woman in the legal field, The League, aims to support the whole woman at any stage in her career. Today, Carson discusses her current role at Legal Association Management and how she has thrown balance out the window for a different strategy: full integration. She digs into the role that vulnerability plays, why it's OKAY to not always be okay, and how women can rise together.
