  • Summary

  • In 2015, Laura Coates traded courtroom drama for newsroom deadlines, leaving her job as a Justice Department prosecutor to dive into a journalism career. She was a new mom with no media experience or contacts, but knew she’d regret it if she never tried. Fast forward to today. Laura is CNN’s Chief Legal Analyst, a Sirius XM host, and a trusted voice on today’s most pressing legal stories. Despite her success, it didn’t come without sacrifice. Listen as Laura gets real about the hard conversations she had with her husband – and herself – about prioritizing her professional ambitions over financial security. In this episode of 9 to 5ish, Laura shares: How she charmed her husband when they first met, despite having a waxed off eyebrow Why she found it difficult to financially depend on her husband while figuring out her career How she got her foot in the door in media with no connections, and why getting the second foot in is more important Why she never shuts down her kids’ curiosity around current events How she’s dealt with big personalities in the courtroom, and on television Learn more about your ad choices.
