About Barmantics - Bar Exam Repeater Support

For bar exam repeaters and the ones who stand beside them.

Barmantics Bar Prep Boutique was created for bar exam repeat takers and their moms, partners, and family members who hold space, offer encouragement, and quietly help carry the weight of someone else's dream.

My own mother and husband stood beside me through law school, the bar exam, and trailblazing in a bar review industry. They believed in me, cheered for my bar candidates, and celebrated each success. They witnessed the triumphs of my scholars and the gratitude of their families.

In 2022, at the peak of my bar prep teaching career, I stepped away. My mom's health was failing, and I wanted to capture the time we had together. I would not compromise giving 110% to my candidates, and there weren't enough hours in the day. My mom, the woman who first taught me what true support looks like, needed me. I closed my business doors to care for her, and I didn't look back. I lost my mom in 2025.

My return to my passion honors my mother's memory and every person who has ever sacrificed quietly for someone they love. My husband, a fellow educator and steadfast supporter of bar exam repeaters, shares my vision: Barmantics Bar Prep Boutique, a place which includes supporters of bar exam candidates.

Today, Barmantics carries forward the legacy of unwavering support in three pillars:

The Book – Proven guidance and encouragement for repeaters and those who support them

The Cognitions – Subconscious training audio to rewire doubt into genuine confidence

The Attire – Motivational apparel that displays bar candidates' dedication to their goal 

This isn't about selling hope. It's about reality, rooted in hands-on experience and an understanding of what it means to stand beside someone through one of the hardest professional challenges they'll ever face.

Built on Reality & Results™.

If you're here, you either need support or want to support your loved one through this challenging time. Barmantics Bar Prep Boutique is for you.
