Lawyers Have Souls Too - Beyond the Briefcase: A Lawyer Mom’s Soul Story
What does it look like to raise a toddler, carry felonies, and still carry your soul? In this episode of Lawyers Have Souls Too, host Winnie Jean-Pierre sits down with Christina Renee Louis Baskin—Assistant State Attorney, wife, and mom to a dino-loving three-year-old—to talk about the real stuff: mom-guilt, boundaries, the beauty (and chaos) of village support, and how motherhood reshaped her compassion in the courtroom. Christina opens up about choosing a career that lets her be present at home, the Haitian family roots that keep her grounded, the micro-aggressions she handles with grace, winning her first real trial, and the wildest thing she’s seen in court. This isn’t about case law—it’s about the people underneath the suits.
What you will hear:
Parenting a toddler while lawyering: why “busy” is beautiful
Mom guilt, Shonda Rhimes wisdom, and giving yourself grace
Setting 5pm boundaries and refusing to pour from an empty cup
The power of an 89-year-old grandma and a rock-solid village
Misconceptions about prosecutors—and how motherhood deepens empathy
