10 Women Who Started Brand New Careers in Midlife— and Never Looked Back

I went to law school straight out of college, because I really didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life and it bought me three more years to think about it. Plus, it made my Asian mom proud. I got a job at a big law firm and made loads of money, but it felt soul-draining. When a colleague got a big appointment in the first Clinton Administration, I jumped at the chance to be her Special Counsel at the Justice Department for a few years. After I had my second child, I became an at-home mom. I grew antsy being at home full-time, so I began writing for parenting magazines, then general interest magazines and newspapers. I’ve since published two children’s books and a non-fiction adult book, with a second in the pipeline. As a divorcee and an empty-nester, I’ve added co-hosting/co-producing a radio show, teaching writing workshops, speaking on diversity issues, book-selling at author events (and a bit of part-time lawyering, to pay the bills) to my repertoire. I appreciate our generation’s ability to chapter our lives and feel fortunate that I have found a way to make my dilettante lifestyle work.

Tips for coping with grief.

Let go. Determine what you can and cannot change. If you cannot change something, why waste your limited time worrying about it? The more I recognize that my time on earth is of uncertain duration, the easier it is for me to let go of things that are out of my control. I used to endlessly fret about my adult children, for example. But when I finally let go and let them make their own mistakes without my interference, our relationships improved.
