  Starting over in life and in your career - Lessons learned the hard way

  Jun 29, 20261h 10mS3

  Lani Bell was an English Lit major who went to law school in pursuit of a 'real' career. She loved the schooling, but the career was never really quite right. In an unexpected (and fortuitious!) turn of events, Lani was offered to do an ad campaign, which ultimately turned into a joyful (but bumpy) marketing career. In this episode, Lani talks about starting over, not just in her career, but in her life. She discusses: - how law never scratched her creative itch - moving to Israel in the middle of COVID - getting divorced and parenting full time while trying to build a career - starting her own marketing firm, and struggling in the post-October 7 economic downturn - taking a job as a barista as she figured out her next move - working full time while parenting full time, and how she makes it work Lani's story is a testament to the power of positivity and the beauty of resilience in the most difficult of circumstances.
