About Kate

Kate Ahern, J.D., LL.M.

aka Professor Ahern
aka Kate Unfrazzled

Hey there, I'm Kate - Unfrazzled® strategist, lawyer, law professor, former big law firm attorney, mother, and entrepre-nerd.


I'm on a mission to advance women lawyers by helping you take back control of your time, align your time with your priorities, and navigate the obstacles that make it so freaking hard to do that (from gender bias and our burnout-inducing law practice culture to perfectionism, procrastination, difficulty saying "no," and many other Frazzle FactorsTM ).

Friend, I know you worked SO hard to get your law degree and build an amazing life, and it shouldn’t feel like it’s costing you your life to keep up with it all!

Ultimately, I’m trying to change this frazzling practice culture for women lawyers, so someday you’ll have a system that supports you living an Unfrazzled® life. But until I tackle that little problem, I’m giving you lots of support in taking back control of your time AND a regular, consistent escape from that legal practice culture that makes you feel weird, selfish, guilty, or like an outsider for wanting to live the Unfrazzled® life you deserve.

Because you need a place to hang out where living an Unfrazzled® life feels normal, expected, respected, and where people cheer you on for going after it! This is that place!
