At 35, after years in interior design, a decision was made to change careers for greater fulfillment. Despite a stable job that allowed for flexibility with family, feelings of stagnation arose. An opportunity to assist a friend with a startup reconnected the individual with creativity and enthusiasm. Taking classes and seeking mentorship in product management allowed for growth and exploration of new interests. The change emphasized the importance of pursuing what truly energizes and motivates, envisioning a career far from previous predictable routines.
I walked away from what was familiar and comfortable to chase something completely different, something uncertain, but deeply exciting. It wasn't just about switching careers. It was about choosing growth over routine, purpose over predictability.
For years, I had what looked like the perfect setup. I worked from home, made my own schedule, skipped long commutes, and could be there for my kids when they needed me. But inside, I felt stuck.
What started as a favor quickly became the highlight of my week. I was thinking about user needs, sketching out product flows, and brainstorming ideas that felt impactful.
Even while working in design, I had stayed curious, reading about digital tools, trying new software, following tech trends.
