A reporter who learned how to say “no thank you” and returned to school for a degree in social work.
A publicist who decided it was time to start taking risks in her life.
A food editor who was drawn to the field of acupuncture.
A Wall Street sales trader who realized she “needed” to be a yoga instructor.
