Laura Coates Instagram – In 2015, @thelauracoates decided to trade courtroom drama for newsroom deadlines, leaving her job as a Justice Department prosecutor to dive into a career in journalism. 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. But her success didn’t come without sacrifice.
In this episode of 9 to 5ish, Laura gets real about the hard conversations she had with her husband – and herself – about prioritizing her professional ambitions over financial security, why guarding her time is non-negotiable, and how she fosters her kids’ curiosity about the world. | Posted on 29/Jan/2025 23:30:17
