Superwoman is a Myth! Why Asking for Help Made Me a Better Lawyer featuring Krista Lynn

Krista Lynn wears many hats: she considers herself a “Recovering
Superwoman” while Krista balances her career as a business lawyer
with complex commercial transactions, and a mother. 


As the creator and blogger of “Recovering Superwoman,” Krista
advocates for others who have faced any adversity in their lives.


Recovering Superwoman is a blog that was originally started from
Krista’s personal journal, where Krista discovered that there was
strength in not having to do everything herself.  People
resonated with the vulnerability and authenticity of Krista’s,
which has led to Krista being a public speaker and coach. 


As the Deputy General Counsel for Airbus OneWeb, Krista does not
believe that law school prepared her to be an in-house
lawyer.  The pleading drafting, legal research, and archaic
property law ideals did not serve her well as a business lawyer,
even though Krista took a lot from her law school
experience. 


Krista Lynn was persistent that she would not become a lawyer,
until she became competitive with her college boyfriend while he
studied for the LSAT.  That experience coupled with Krista’s
passion for business led Krista to attend law school. 
Krista began and left law school knowing that she wanted to be a
business lawyer and work in-house at a corporation or
organization.  Krista knew what she wanted to do and she
took a different path to get there.


As a mother, Krista finds that although her days are busy, she is
immensely proud of her family and the strength they’ve exerted
when tested.  Krista has removed the necessity to perform
for coworkers, family members, her children, parents, etc.
Although Krista believes that she can do anything, Krista learned
that she doesn't have to handle everything herself.
