The Courage To Start Over in Your Thirties with CC Rowell

from Soulful Feasts with Stephanie Zubiri · host Stephanie Zubiri

What if it's not too late?At 32, after successful careers in investment banking, nonprofit work, and entrepreneurship, Dr. CC Rowell made a decision that would completely change the course of her life: she went back to school to pursue medicine. Eight years later, after med school, residency, self-doubt, culture shock, a global pandemic, and countless sacrifices, she is on the cusp of becoming a board-certified dermatologist. In this inspiring conversation, CC shares what it was really like to leave behind a life she had built in New York, move back to the Philippines after nearly two decades away, and start over alongside classmates a decade younger than her. Together, Stephanie and CC explore the courage it takes to follow a calling, the power of support systems, the lessons hidden inside failure, and why it's never too late to become the person you've always wanted to be. If you've ever wondered whether you've missed your chance, whether you're too old, too busy, or too far behind to pursue a dream, this episode is your reminder that life doesn't run on anyone else's timeline.Sometimes all it takes is one small step—and the courage to bet on yourself. ✨*** Soulful Feasts is now on YouTube!
