She’s back!! 🎉 In this episode, we sit down with polymath, Aubria Ralph to unpack the layered intersection of AI, law, and leadership, with a sharp lens on bias, representation, and survivalism in professional spaces.

From the gaps in diversity in legal tech to the emotional intelligence required to thrive in the legal industry, this conversation explores how women can both navigate and change the systems that often weren’t built for them. 

Aubria shares her journey from practicing law to teaching and launching LegalEase, a platform built to empower law students with transparency, mentorship, and community.

They discuss:
  → The importance of inclusion in AI development
  → The power dynamics that keep law firms stagnant
  → How to build real leadership, not just titles
  → And what true change in law might require from all of us

This episode is packed with insights on justice, growth, and the future of legal leadership.

Diverse teams don’t just sound good on paper; they deliver better results. 

Last week, we sat down with @belle_be4r (Kathy Guillory) to chat about navigating workplace dynamics as a woman. This conversation covered A LOT of ground, including how diverse teams perform better.

Here’s why:
Study after study confirms it: teams with people from different backgrounds consistently outperform homogeneous groups. When everyone looks the same and thinks the same, you get the same solutions, and often, they’re not very good ones.

Our brains are wired differently. Our lived experiences shape how we problem-solve. That diversity of perspective is your competitive advantage.

But here’s the thing, Kathy made sure to highlight, you need people who feel empowered to speak up. 

You need someone in the room who can raise their hand and say “this is a really stupid idea” when it needs to be said (we laughed at this btw). 🤣

Don’t just make products pink and call it innovation. 

Solve actual problems. 

Have that uncomfortable conversation. 

Challenge the groupthink.

Because when you have diverse voices calling out what doesn’t work AND contributing what does, that’s when breakthrough solutions happen.
Part of unlearning silence is evaluating what you allow others to control in your life, especially the things that matter most.

In her book, “Unlearning Silence,” and in this week’s interview, author @elainelinhering (Elaine Lin Hering) reminds us not to count ourselves out before we begin.
  → It’s never too late to share your unique perspective
  → No one can be you but you; your experiences matter
  → Don’t wait for others to give you permission to create

Her book is the first mainstream commercial work focused solely on silence because she refused to let imposter syndrome or comparison stop her from bringing her distinct voice into the world.
