Hi! How’s your week?

Many, many readers have asked for advice on changing careers, re-entering the workforce after staying home with kids, choosing a path, getting more flexibility, finding something meaningful, earning more money, the list goes on…

Today, we interviewed three women who changed careers — Jubi, a lawyer; Margot, a bakery owner; and Meg, a realtor. Their answers were incredibly eye-opening! (And, if you like this issue, we’d be happy to make it a larger series — so many people have changed careers in surprising ways, and we’d love to profile more.)

Okay, let’s go! Here’s how three women changed careers…
