So awesome to hear about making challenging career changes later in life. I think people can get a bit too settled and may believe that it's impossible to change.
All the talk about identity in this piece makes me think that is what makes it harder to shift careers: if you make what you do a part of your identity, then changing what you do can become harder because you are changing who you are.
Personally, I really don't think my career defines me in any way. My career is like a furniture for my life, and I like it to be useful and not too uncomfortable, but someday I may put it out on the curb and redecorate.
