For many women, life often gets in the way. You can be motoring along in a career, and then kids arrive, or looking after an elderly parent takes over, or illness interrupts your flow. And before you know it, a few years out of a career you loved stretches into more than a decade.
Then one day, you realise that you want to do something for yourself, but even just the thought of getting back to what you love feels like you’re about to climb a sheer rock face without a safety rope. 😱
So how do you get over this fear and take action?
Toni Whitney was in exactly this position when she joined TechPixies, and while it might have taken her a couple of attempts to get across the finish line, she did the work, grabbed the courage and is now back in her dream job and loving life. 💪🏽
