This week we had the opportunity to speak with attorney and author of Balance is Bullsht* - Ashley Manzi. When Ashley started writing a blog about her life as a mom while working as a full time attorney she never would have imagined that years later she would have the opportunity to turn it into a book.

We sat down with Ashley and discussed her journey to law school, her life as a family law attorney, writing her first book, and, of course, how networking has helped her navigate it all. Ashley shared some of her law school experiences, not measured by a transcript, that helped propel her on her path to eventual partnership.

As someone who understands the value of a network within a referral based practice, she discussed her view of referrals. Ashley does not keep track of referral one-to-one, but she does appreciate the value of referring to someone she knows and trusts and maintains that standard for herself.

Balance is Bullsht*, details Ashley’s life being a mom and working outside of her home trying to keep everyone and everything afloat. Her relatable tales tell the story of how we all are just flying by the seat of our pants and just hoping we survive. These personal stories are universal to the struggles that so many of us feel but are not always comfortable acknowledging out loud. This is a must read for all of the law moms out there!
