Tina Keller, an attorney and author, shares her journey of becoming a lawyer later in life after experiencing domestic violence. She started her law school journey at the age of 45 and graduated at 50. Tina grew up witnessing domestic violence in her parents' and grandparents' households, which shaped her views on relationships. She made a firm decision to never tolerate physical abuse in her own marriage. However, she later realized that she was in an abusive marriage, which led her to leave and file for divorce. The next steps for Tina would lead her towards a career she never thought possible, especially at 50.
Why was this important to her? Why specifically law? And was she concerned that she was too old to become a lawyer at 50?
Tune in to hear the entire story!
Enjoy the show.
