#149: Summer Bucket List + Summer Reading List

This week's episode is about later in life career changes. In our culture, it's unfortunately pretty common for people to feel like if they haven't started and achieved a dream by the time they are 30, 40, 50 or beyond, that it's too late. This episode is ALL about how it's not too late, and in fact, many of our favorite creative icons started their careers later than you might think.

Hi hi ... OK, so WE'RE MOVING and this episode contains the long version of the story! This was an unexpected decision that we made a little over a month ago. I wanted to wait to share the news, A. Once we knew it was really happening and B. On the podcast where I could really CHAT it out since there are so many moving parts and details. Hope you enjoy ... my personal drama is 100% your entertainment this week. To visit the shownotes, go to abeautifulmess.com/podcast.
