Blackburn Wirth attorney Chelsea Stacey recently appeared on the Angela Tait Podcast to discuss her journey as a trial attorney, mother, and advocate for justice. Theconversation explores themes that resonate with many working parents navigating professional excellence while raising families.
Breaking Traditional Roles in Law
In the podcast, Chelsea opens up about her experience as a woman in trial law—a field that has historically been male-dominated. Her journey illustrates how the legal profession is evolving and how attorneys can excel while maintaining their authentic selves and prioritizing family.
The conversation covers:
- Navigating the demands of trial preparation while being present for family
- Breaking stereotypes about what a “typical” attorney looks like
- Finding support systems that enable professional success
- Advocating for clients while also advocating for yourself and your family
A Mom’s Journey in High-Stakes Litigation
One of the most compelling aspects of Chelsea’s story is her refusal to choose between being an excellent attorney and being an engaged mother. She demonstrates that these roles can complement rather than compete with each other—bringing empathy from parenting into client relationships and modeling resilience and advocacy for her children.
Trial law requires long hours, intense preparation, and emotional resilience. Balancing these demands with family life requires intentionality, strong boundaries, and a support network. Chelsea’s insights offer valuable perspective for anyone managing multiple important roles.
Why This Matters for Our Clients
Chelsea’s perspective as both an attorney and a mother brings unique value to her practice. She understands:

- The importance of clear communication and accessibility
- The need for attorneys who see clients as whole people, not just case numbers
