Why I built Reasoned
Sometimes a dream isn't gone. It has simply been waiting for you to come back to it.
Law school had been on my bucket list for years.
But life was already full. At 48, I was married, raising a family, managing the responsibilities of adult life, and far removed from the traditional student path.
The idea of going back to school was exciting — but it was also intimidating. I wondered whether I had waited too long. I wondered whether I could really become a student again.
Eventually, I decided that instead of continuing to wonder, I was going to give myself the chance to find out. I pursued it. And I didn't just get through it. I did well.
I received multiple law school acceptances and scholarship offers.
That experience changed the way I thought about what is possible later in life. It also made me think about how many other capable women may have a dream sitting quietly on their own bucket list. Maybe life got busy — a career, marriage, children, responsibilities, other priorities — and somewhere along the way, law school became something they thought they had missed their chance to pursue.
I created Reasoned for the woman who is wondering what I once wondered: Is it too late for me?
I wanted to create the kind of LSAT preparation I would have wanted when I was deciding whether I could do this: rigorous without being intimidating, personalized without lowering the standard, flexible enough for adult life, and designed to help you understand not only what to learn, but how you learn best.
Most of all, I want other women to know that a different timeline doesn't mean the opportunity is gone.
Your path to law doesn't have to look like anyone else's. And it is not too late to begin.
