It’s Never Too Late to Pivot: Bonnie’s Story After 30 Years in Education

June 19, 2025 by Katie Travis |Leave a Comment

Bonnie wasn’t so sure a career pivot was even possible—especially after spending 30 years in education.

She had doubts.
She questioned whether it was “too late.”
She wondered if anyone would take her seriously outside the classroom.

But despite all that… she took the leap.

And now?

“I haven’t been this excited about something since I married my husband 15 years ago.”

(Awww, right?)

That joy—the kind that bubbles up unexpectedly—has returned to her mornings.

“I think I forgot who I was these past few years. I was dancing this morning as I was making my coffee. DANCING!”

This is what happens when you stop settling and start rediscovering you.

It’s not just about landing a new job.
It’s about feeling alive again.
It’s about remembering your worth, your strengths, your dreams.

Bonnie, congratulations!
Thank you for trusting me with your career pivot.
You are proof that it’s never too late to change directions and build a life that excites you.


Ready to feel like you again?
Whether you’ve been in education, healthcare, admin, or any field for decades—it’s possible.

Your next chapter could be the most fulfilling one yet.
