Prioritize and find success through your support system
Partner Jennifer Trusso Salinas is published in the ABA Journal for her Making It Work column titled, “Prioritize and find success through your support system.” Salinas shares how she balances career and family through outsourcing some aspects. She writes, “I have decided that the best use of my time is not baking every birthday cake, making dinner every night or cleaning my house (although I inevitably do more cleaning than I would like). Outsourcing was a difficult decision, as I grew up being taught, like many Latinas, that your value as a mom was based on how well you cleaned your house and your cooking abilities. I was killing myself trying to do it all. I eventually got over having to do it all.” Making It Work is a column in partnership with the Working Mother Best Law Firms for Women initiative in which lawyers share how they manage both life’s challenges and work’s demands.
