It's never too late to become everything you ever wanted to be. ๐
Take my story, for example. 10 years ago I decided to become an acupuncturist. I started TCM grad school at 32 years old, and oh boy, it was intense. I graduated with a doctorate in 2020 at 36, honestly feeling like I was already 40. But I got through boards, started seeing patients, and then finally started my own business. Sometimes I have to pinch myself because yeah, I am becoming everything I ever wanted to be.
Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine is not my first career, but it is my calling. I made a hard pivot into a completely different field, finished school while still working nights in restaurants, started practicing during a pandemic, and finally built something of my own.
It takes time. (10 years, but who is counting?) It takes a village. (Family and friends, you know who you are.) But if I can do it, so can you ๐๏ธ
