Holly Totten had been teaching for 30 years with no plans to retire. She loved her work. Life threw her some curveballs forcing her to have to make a spur of the moment decision to leave a job she loved to care for sick family members. When you’re not prepared for a major life change it can be unsettling and leave you wondering who you really are. With loads of support from family and friends she made it through a trying time and has emerged with a better sense of herself. She’s returned to teaching, but it’s taken on a new form. She’s now a writing coach with a passion for teaching people how to tell their story. She also hosts a podcast called Teaching Yourself to Learn where she explores transitions in the 3rd half of life.
