I believe in sharing the journey, not just the results—the past, the progress, and the pause—the work and the why. Here’s a glimpse at what I’ve done, what I’m doing, and what’s coming next. I’d love for you to follow along—or get involved

Upcoming Anthology Chapter: On My Entrepreneurship Journey
Status: Final edits in progress
Expected Release: May 2025
About: In this personal chapter, Corrie Gallien shares how surviving abuse and navigating life as a deaf, first-generation attorney, and single mother of four led her to build her own path—and her own law firm.
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. This blog is where legal insight meets lived experience. Through series like Strategic Saturday and Self-Care Sunday, Corrie shares what she’s learning in law and leadership. From legal strategy and professional reflections to wellness tips and real-life lessons, this space offers encouragement, clarity, and connection.
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.
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.
