I am writing a piece about how to afford switching your career later in life without financial help (a wealthy spouse or parents), and I'd love to interview women who have done it. I want honest, approachable, first-person stories about how difficult it can be to start over in a new line of work (especially when you have commitments like a family to support), whether they would do it again, and any advice they can share.
