Our new friend Veronica is switching career paths. She began college at 18 on a pre-med track and is now about to graduate from a writing Master's program in her late 20s.
Caroline, Anne and Gale can relate! They discuss the anxieties that come with changing things up later in life, such as imposter syndrome.
They define wisdom, rethink the advantage of an academic background and what it takes to be a "Working Girl" and "Nasty Gal" with self-confidence. They can't ignore the societal struggles of aging as a woman and the differences between your 20s and 30s. They gush over their favorite female authors, who all happen to write honestly about insecurities, the "fairy tale" of job searching and eventually getting a baby and cowboy boots, whatever that means to you.
Not to spoil the ending, but the moral of the episode is there's no such thing as a straight arrow line to your career.
Oh, and they also come up with appropriate phrases that incorporate... feet? You have to listen to get it.
