Education
Have you ever secretly wondered if you could start an entirely new career? Going back to university to study and then starting again from the bottom rung of the ladder? Well, our guest Lisa Merton did exactly that, closing up her couture wedding gown business of 10 years to head back to TAFE to study graphic design. Not surprisingly, being a mature age student had its challenges, but Lisa persisted and discovered she had a whole lot of life skills that made her transition into her new career so rewarding a whole lot faster than she might have expected. Plus, Peita & Hayley chat about how when we hit middle age we can start to let our lizard brain trick us into thinking we are too old for certain adventures - and provide tips on how to move past this mindset.
