“It’s just being confident enough to take the step and lean in to this thing you don’t know a whole lot about. It’s hard, change is hard. But when you have that confidence, the world’s really your oyster.”

Meet Lori, a former teacher and stay at home mom who found renewed purpose and fulfillment by changing careers later in life

In this episode of the Midlife Happiness Project, I talk to Lori about her transition from being a dedicated stay-at-home mom to pursuing a career in therapy. Despite the challenges of returning to school in her forties, she obtained her master's degree in counseling psychology and now runs her private practice, specializing in grief and loss.

I think what sets Lori's story apart is her strategic approach to change. Long before becoming an empty nester, she volunteered extensively to explore her interests and prepare for the next chapter in her life. Through her journey, Lori not only found personal fulfillment but also transformed her relationships, becoming a more confident, independent person.

Join us as we celebrate Lori's courage, resilience, and unwavering determination to embrace change and find happiness in midlife. Lori's story serves as a beacon of inspiration for those contemplating career changes later in life, reminding us that it's never too late to pursue our passions and live our best lives.
