In this episode, we sit down with Emily Logan Stedman, attorney at Husch Blackwell, to explore her unconventional path to Big Law and the powerful personal brand she’s built along the way. Emily shares how she began her career as a teacher before making the leap to law, and how writing and blogging helped her find her voice in a demanding profession.

We dive into how her current firm has supported her passion for authenticity—whether that’s speaking openly about mental health, posting from the lake, or leveraging AI to streamline her work. Emily offers a candid look at how she balances high performance with well-being, and why the idea that Big Law and work-life balance can’t coexist is more myth than reality.

We also discuss her journey to 21,000+ LinkedIn followers, her evolving approach to business development (with the help of a coach), and how she’s positioning herself for long-term leadership as she works toward equity partnership.

Whether you're navigating a legal career or just curious about how to build a brand that aligns with your values, this conversation with Emily is one you won’t want to miss.
