Dysart Taylor associate attorney Samantha Sicola recently hosted, alongside co-host Haylie Davis, a live recording of their podcast, Ladies Who Law, at the 9th annual Texas Women Rainmakers CLE in Houston. Joined by Rebecca King of Keller Postman LLC and Marcela Arévalo of Andrews Myers, P.C., the group discussed how they manage work-life balance with a heavy litigation caseload.
The presentation, “How to Establish Work-Life Balance with a Heavy Litigation Docket,” explored the topic of “workaholism” and shared insights on balancing career demands with personal well-being, giving examples on how they manage their caseloads and their self-care non-negotiables.
The Texas Women Rainmakers CLE conference, hosted annually in Texas, aims to provide female lawyers of all career stages with an unaffiliated, independent group to explore how gender impacts their careers and help women lawyers feel empowered to succeed in their careers.
In 2020, Sicola and Davis began the Ladies Who Law podcast to share their perspectives and their journeys to becoming lawyers, as well as provide advice and insight for young women who are considering going to law school or who are beginning their legal careers. The podcast also aims to provide a space for women in the legal field to connect, learn and grow together.
“Creating this podcast has been such a rewarding experience for both Haylie and me,” Sicola said. “Because of it, I have had the opportunity to meet and speak with so many accomplished women in the legal industry. It has been so inspiring and I have been able to learn so much from all of these amazing women.”
