Ever thought about going back to school to pursue that career you've always dreamed of—but life just got in the way?

In this episode, Ashley Larkin shares her inspiring journey of returning to school to study counseling—all while raising three teenage daughters. We dive into what it really takes to make a big move like this, from learning how to discern your next right step to leaning on community support and pushing through the challenges of stepping back into the classroom after years away.

More than anything, Ashley reminds us that your worth isn't tied to your resume—and it's never too late to go after something new. If you've been wondering whether this could be your next chapter, Ashley's wisdom and encouragement will help you!
