Upcoming Anthology Chapter: On My Entrepreneurship Journey
Status: Final edits in progress
Expected Release: May 2025
About: In this deeply personal chapter, Corrie Gallien shares how life’s challenges led her down a road she never planned—but ultimately, one that was meant for her. From surviving an abusive marriage to navigating the legal profession as a deaf, first-generation attorney and single mother, Corrie never imagined she’d one day become the founder of her own law firm. But when traditional doors closed—or never opened—she built her own.
Legal Blog: Gallien Law’s Brief Write
Status: Actively sharing legal insight, strategy, and reflections
About: Corrie Gallien never imagined she’d one day be writing from the frontlines of her own law firm. As a deaf, first-generation attorney and mother of four, her path into entrepreneurship wasn’t a straight line—it was built through persistence, pivots, and purpose.
This blog is where legal insight meets lived experience. Through series like Strategic Saturday and Self-Care Sunday, Corrie shares not only what she’s learning in law and leadership, but how she’s staying grounded through it all. From legal strategy and professional reflections to wellness tips and real-life lessons, this space offers encouragement, clarity, and connection—for those building, recovering, or reinventing themselves along the way.
Personal Blog: Corrie’s Story
Status: Newly launched platform to share her personal insight, strategy, and reflections
About: Corrie’s Story is where I write without a filter—about life, growth, motherhood, leadership, and becoming. It’s the space where I show up not just as an attorney or advocate, but as a whole person navigating real experiences in real time.
This blog is personal. It’s reflective. It’s mine. I started Corrie’s Story because I believe in telling the truth—especially the quiet truths we don’t always get to share in courtrooms, on stages, or even around dinner tables. Here, I explore what it means to live with intention, lead with heart, and learn through the messy, meaningful middle.
