Kim Kardashian took to her official Instagram on Sunday, November 16, 2025, to update her fans on her journey to become a lawyer. The mother of four shared a video detailing her actions in preparing for her bar exam. Breaking down in tears, Kim revealed she was tired and felt like stopping.

“I’m just so tired, and it’s like every time I feel like I’m a step ahead, something happens to try to stop me from doing this.”

She added:

“A part of me wants to stop. I just feel [like] my brain’s gonna explode.”
“I’ve been studying for four months straight, canceled all work, don’t take any work calls, I don’t really do anything except for being a mom and studying,” the Kardashian said in clip made weeks before she took the exam.

She revealed that she sent her children on a vacation for two weeks before the exam to be able to focus, adding that she developed some back problems and had to use a back brace.

She captioned the video:

“I’ve shared so much of this journey with you, and this summer I documented some of the final two weeks of studying - the ups, the downs, and everything in between.”

She continued:

“On November 7th, I found out I didn't pass the bar. It was disappointing, but it wasn't the end. This dream means too much to me to walk away from.”

She added:

“So I'm going to keep studying, keep learning, and keep showing up for myself until I get there.”
