Manage episode 444719078 series 3596098
In this introductory episode of the Children First Family Law Podcast, host Krista Nash takes listeners through her journey from journalism to becoming an accomplished family law attorney and nationally recognized child advocate. Raised in Colorado, Krista initially pursued a career in journalism, graduating from Northwestern University. She worked as a newspaper reporter, but growing disillusionment with the industry's ethical challenges led to career changes and ultimately a specialty in family law and children’s issues.
The episode delves into significant milestones in Krista's life, including meeting her husband in 1995, moving back to Colorado in 2001, and managing career shifts in public relations while raising her children. A pivotal lawsuit against her husband's employer became a turning point, propelling her toward law school. Balancing the demands of legal education with motherhood, Krista's experiences enriched her perspective and deepened her commitment to putting children first in the messy area of family law.
Krista shares her motivations for founding Children First Family Law, emphasizing the importance of problem-solving and the limitations of litigation. She began this podcast to fill what she sees as a serious gap in the discourse around family law issues. With vast numbers of people – and their children – experiencing family breakdown, this podcast serves as a platform for diverse voices aimed at helping individuals navigate through the complexities of family law and how best to help their children flourish The podcast also intends to challenge all professionals – lawyers, judges, counselors, supervisors, legislators, and others – to do better by children.
