From visible family schedules and law-firm automation to simple content-creation tools, on-the-go learning—and even a dependable concealer—these ideas are designed for the realities of building a business while raising a family.

Pittsburgh father Steven D’Achille lost his 30-year-old wife, Alexis, six weeks after she gave birth to their daughter, Adriana. Following a traumatic delivery, Alexis developed postpartum depression, PTSD, severe anxiety and eventually psychosis.

Steven said his family struggled to find appropriate psychiatric care for her. After her death, he founded the Alexis Joy D’Achille Foundation and partnered with Allegheny Health Network (AHN) to improve mental health care for pregnant women and new mothers.

That work helped create the Alexis Joy D’Achille Center for Perinatal Mental Health at West Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The 7,300-square-foot center provides a specialized mother-baby intensive outpatient program where women can receive psychiatric care, therapy and medication management while bringing their babies with them, helping prevent separation and support mother-baby bonding.

The center also provides group therapy, infant massage, baby wearing, yoga, meditation and art therapy.

Thinking about leaving an established firm and building a law practice of your own?

The freedom of owning your own firm can be incredible—but without the right systems, that freedom can quickly turn into a calendar, inbox, and client list that never stop demanding your attention.

In **The Lawyer’s Startup Guide: How to Build a Law Firm That Works Without Burning Yourself Out**, The Billable Mom® breaks down some of the infrastructure worth considering from the beginning—from professional virtual office space and better project management to legal intake systems and a home office you can actually work in.

Because building a successful law firm isn’t just about getting more clients. It’s about creating a business that can grow without requiring you to personally hold everything together.

If starting your own firm—or restructuring the one you already have—is on your radar, this one is worth saving.
