Adults seeking permission to change their lives get the encouragement they never received. Host Jamie Chen interviews people at crossroads—the 45-year-old becoming a marine biologist, the executive learning to paint, the parent starting a band. Through honest conversations about fear, family expectations, and finding courage, this show becomes the permission slip listeners need to pursue their own postponed dreams.
Meet Dr. Sarah Mitchell, a former marketing executive who at 45 left her six-figure salary to pursue her childhood dream of becoming a marine biologist. The episode explores her journey through graduate school alongside students half her age, the financial implications of her career switch, and how she navigated family skepticism. We dive deep into the practical aspects of her transition, including her research on coral reef restoration, and how her business background unexpectedly enhanced her scientific career.
