“Starting Over as an Intern at 50: I Never Thought I Would Begin Again Like This”
I became an intern after 50. I never imagined I would have to start over like this.
I never imagined that, after having my own business for 19 years, I would one day find myself starting over as an intern in my 50s.
Life has a strange way of changing everything when you least expect it.
I lost two of my brothers in less than a year. My younger brother died in a motorcycle accident, and my older brother was murdered.
Those losses changed everything.
I lost my business, my motivation, and for a while, I kind of lost myself too.
Now I'm starting over.
I'm an intern after 50, learning new things, trying to adapt to a completely different professional world, and figuring out who I am in this new chapter of my life.
I won't lie — sometimes it feels like survival.
But maybe that's what this phase of my life is about: surviving first, and slowly finding myself again.
I'm not sure where this new beginning will take me.
But I'm still here. And I'm trying. ❤️
Has anyone else here had to completely start over later in life? What did your new beginning look like?
