You're listening to the A Beautiful Mess Podcast. Today we wanted to talk about folks

who started careers later in life. There are a lot of stories like this and we are just

going to share a few. Also we're going to answer a reader question about shopping for your

first home. But this is a topic that gets both me and Elsie really excited for the future, so we hope it gets you feeling that way too.

Yes, same. I guarantee no matter what that I will have a late in life second career for sure and I can't

wait to do it.

Oh yeah I mean I really hope I do I want to and yeah I think that was kind of part, I forget exactly why we came up with the idea to talk about this particular subject.

I think we just were talking about it one day.

Something that we really aspire to, something that we want to make sure that we always keep on our horizon

is that your career isn't over when you turn 40, 50, 60, and beyond. And I think it's just a thing that a lot of young people aren't taught,

so we're teaching it to you now.

Yeah, and I don't even know if young people listen to our podcast.

I have no idea.

Young-ish.

But yeah, I remember feeling so much pressure in my like early to mid-20s.

I felt like if I hadn't figured it out by then I was behind and I don't exactly know where that pressure came from it

might be something that other people feel too or it might be a little bit of

something in our society there are a lot of stories of like young people doing

amazing things which is awesome and if that's your story

That's fantastic but I sometimes I think people turn to 30 turn 40 turn 50 and they're kind of like needing a change but they feel like

maybe that's silly or scary or it's too late for them and it's not so I know I

totally agree it's not so I know I totally agree it's something that I want to contribute to
