Episode 11 - Changing Careers in the Midlife Part 1 (Interview with Parent Coach Carolyn Lambert)

This is the first in our series of episodes in which we’ll be interviewing folks who have changed careers in the midlife stage. In this first episode in the series, we interviewed Alvin’s parent coach, Carolyn Lambert. Carolyn has both a law degree and MBA from Duke University, and after gaining over 20 years of experience in conflict management in both industry and the state university system in Georgia, she shifted gears and became a certified parent coach. After catching up with Alvin and his daughter Sophia about some recent adventures in Georgia (minutes 0-23), we talk to Carolyn about what motivated her to make this career change, how this has helped her feel more fulfilled, and where she now sits on the life-happiness curve (minutes 23-63). Because Carolyn’s work as a parent coach connects to some of the themes we have covered in previous episodes, Alvin and Sophia talk after the interview about how Carolyn has helped them navigate their father-daughter relationship over the past few years (minutes 63-92).
