Dream of what you want and go for it. Don’t pay attention to anyone else’s pre-conceived ideas about you or what you are capable of. Start living the “dream” as reality.
Many successful people reinvented themselves in a later period in their lives. Jeff Bezos worked on Wall Street before he reinvented himself and started Amazon. Sara Blakely sold office supplies before she started Spanx. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was a WWE wrestler before he became a successful actor and filmmaker. Arnold Schwarzenegger went from a bodybuilder, to an actor to a Governor. McDonald’s founder Ray Kroc was a milkshake-device salesman before starting the McDonalds franchise in his 50s.
How does one reinvent themselves? What hurdles have to be overcome to take life in a new direction? How do you overcome those challenges? How do you ignore the naysayers? How do you push through the paralyzing fear?
In this series called “Second Chapters; How I Reinvented Myself In The Second Chapter Of My Life “ we are interviewing successful people who reinvented themselves in a second chapter in life, to share their story and help empower others.
As a part of this interview series, I had the pleasure of interviewing Fern Pessin.
Fern Pessin began her work life as a school teacher and has changed fields, careers, and residences multiple times. Teaching, training, and sharing have been at the core of every new change. Now, in her pre-retirement years, after full-time caregiving for her parents for eight years, followed by a rare cancer diagnosis, Fern, healthy, has chosen to focus on living her optimal life. Instead of focusing on what she has or needs, she believes that the universe will provide for us when we embrace what brings us joy and focus on how we want to “be” in our everyday lives.
Thank you so much for doing this with us! Before we start, our readers would love to “get to know you” a bit better. Can you tell us a bit about your childhood backstory?
Iwas born in Brooklyn, NY. When I was five, my parents bought a house in Queens, NY, under the flight path of Kennedy Airport. Maybe that’s why I love to travel and have always dreamed of places to go.
We didn’t have much money, very middle class. Still, I was fortunate enough to have spent summers at my maternal grandparent’s home in the Catskills Mountains, where I went to a summer camp at the bungalow colony down the road, eventually becoming a counselor and then head counselor. A barn was in the center of the field across the road, so we watched the cows graze and hay harvested. My family had a double bungalow. The property included an SRO (Single Room Occupancy), so there were two buildings with bedrooms, shared bathrooms down the hallway, kitchens, and gathering areas. My father and all manner of relatives and friends came up from NYC to visit on weekends. There were always people around, and sometimes pets and horses were around. We went hiking and had a small pool to cool off. Lots of lessons were learned about nature, wildlife, family, and storytelling during those summers. (Along with a bit of secret yearning and fantasizing about the hot older brother of a friend at that bungalow colony!)
Can you please give us your favorite “Life Lesson Quote”? Can you share how that was relevant to you in your life?
“Will it matter in a week, a month, a year?”
I used to spend my energy reacting to things. My focus was on fixing to ensure everything was always as perfect as possible and preventing anything from going wrong in the future. I also was a people pleaser, trying to get approval from anyone who asked anything of me. That way of living is highly stressful.
Now, I focus on living in the present moment. Of course, I have a calendar and still make plans and take on clients and projects, but when I am faced with a challenge, looking at a new opportunity, or start sweating over a task that I haven’t yet completed, I stop and ask myself, “will this matter in a week? A month? A year?” Whatever I am doing right now has to put me in a good place. If it doesn’t matter down the line, then should I be investing my energy in that right now?
This screening question for everything that comes up in my day to day, and when contemplating opportunities, has helped me weed out what is a time sucker and what is not meaningful to my goal of living joyously.
You have been blessed with much success. In your opinion, what are the top three qualities that you possess that have helped you accomplish so much? If you can, please share a story or example for each.
1) Know YOUR definition of success. My success is not what others consider success. We have to embrace what is important to us. For all of my business life, from my twenties to my fifties, I longed for one kind of life but pursued the standards depicted in media and keeping-up-with-the-neighbors because of outside pressure. Taking jobs to earn money or because people said it would benefit me. I did not always thrive in these “jobs.” Something was missing. I was yearning to be somewhere else.
I agree when you say I’ve been blessed with much success, but it doesn’t mean I have a yacht and mansion. Being judged because experiences and lifestyle are more important to me than cash and “stuff” has been a harsh experience. In my second chapter, I embraced the idea that living simply and using resources to make incredible memories is more important than being surrounded by things to leave for others to distribute when I’m gone. I want to be happy every day and not just save up for when I can take a break and find joy.
As a school teacher, I was miserable because of the politics. My parents and friends would say, “But you have summers off.” Which was true. But I earned such a small salary that I had to take on part-time jobs and work all summer, and I was miserable in school all year. I got physically ill after a few years. My body could not take it anymore and pushed me out of teaching.
I worked in the fitness business and was so successful in what I did that I was repeatedly asked to coach and mentor others. So, I became a consultant and trainer and traveled the world delivering workshops, lectures, and coaching staff teams. My father said I should get a job that paid more. I asked, “Why would I do that if this job has clients paying me to travel the world? I’ve been to Australia, Europe, Japan, China, Canada, and the entire United States. If I worked a different job, I’d only get to travel like that while on vacation.” My father nodded, but I could see he disagreed. Then, he came to a fitness trade show and walked the floor. People saw his name badge everywhere he went and asked if he knew me. When he told them he was my father, they would gush out praise about how much of a wonderful person I was and an asset to the industry. My mother was busy collecting free water bottles, tee shirts, and gym bags! My father finally got it. He said his “buttons were popping with pride” just hearing what a life I’d made for myself.
2) Listen and Learn. Everything I know has come from experiences — either my own or stories told by others. I have spent my life trying new things and conceptualizing ideas into reality by listening to all kinds of people from all backgrounds. Even people that irritate me teach me something about myself. I have often asked to be mentored. I learned to respect the stories my elders shared. My paternal grandmother used to say (probably when I rolled my eyes as a teen), “You owe me the respect to listen to what I have to say, but then it’s up to you to decide what you want to do with it.”
Listening to the stories of fellow caregivers in my support group helped me become a better caregiver for my parents. Because I am an educator by nature, I wrote books to help other caregivers with all I learned. I speak and coach by listening and asking questions. It gives me great joy to help others avoid the pitfalls I experienced. Knowing that I have helped others reduce stress and handle caregiving challenges more gracefully and effortlessly lifts my soul. This means that the people cared for have also had a better experience. Making an impact raises my energy and helps me feel that I am fulfilling a purpose while I’m here on earth, in this body, at this time.
3) Share What I Have and What I Know. As I just said, I have been able to write about what I have learned, but I also help others write about what they know and want to share. While I have a few books published about caregiving, I ghostwrite other people’s stories about their expertise and how they achieved success and wisdom. I help people share their journey and achieve their mission to bring what they know to anyone who might need to hear they are not alone, to anyone seeking answers and support.
I started Urban Villa Press in my second chapter to focus on storytelling. Any hatred and negativity in the world comes from people being ignorant and thus afraid of what they don’t understand. Once people meet one-on-one, they can empathize, and general mistrust and anger dissipate. You hear beautiful stories everywhere of people spouting harmful and hateful things on the internet but then becoming friends with someone in a targeted group. Stories of terrorists changing direction, prisoners working with people they’ve hurt, and bullies championing anti-bullying. People who don’t step out of their neighborhood or clan and away from people who look and sound like themselves miss out on many potentially unique relationships and experiences. That is why I love to travel so much.
What we put out is what we pull in. (perhaps lesson #4?) I learned that early on. If we are greedy, we believe everyone is greedy. If we hate, we connect with other people that hate. When we live with love in our hearts and believe people to be good, we connect with good and loving people and experience positive things.
Let’s now shift to the main part of our discussion about ‘Second Chapters’. Can you tell our readers about your career experience before your Second Chapter?
Out of college, I became a special education teacher at the elementary school I attended as a child. That was wild! Teaching with teachers I had as a kid. I was a highly creative teacher, and the bureaucracy ate away at my soul until I couldn’t teach. I became sick.
At that point, a reboot of my life led me to jobs in recruiting, advertising, and publishing, and I found my niche designing events and programs in the fitness industry. I became a trainer, presenter, and coach and traveled the world. I produced textbooks and newsletters. A unique offer had me putting down roots in Connecticut, where I began working in the non-profit community. My clients were varied, so I was challenged to create many unique and exciting events. When my parents retired to Florida after my dad’s Alzheimer’s Disease diagnosis, I gave up my business and moved to Florida to support them. This brought me to my current combination of ghostwriting people’s memoirs (something I could do while caregiving) as I was also writing my books on caregiving and family communication.
Through my various jobs and by exploring many industries, I was focused on building a business. Getting clients and delivering products. I was in forward motion, aiming higher, but constantly feeling like nothing was satisfying. No matter what I did, it was exciting and worked well initially, but I soon became bored and overwhelmed. I had built a business I did not want to manage because I was missing something. I had everything I thought I wanted, but I felt an emptiness. What was the purpose of it all?
And how did you “reinvent yourself” in your Second Chapter?
I decided to analyze every area of my life and determine what would make me joyous. I began the journey with the goal of feeling that everything I do should bring me positive energy. And conversely, I wanted to limit or eliminate anything draining me. I journaled the whole process to track and review where I was compared to where I wound up.
I examined my life from morning to night, top to bottom.
- What about my work or projects would I want to keep?
- Who did I want in my life all the time, and who should be relegated to when I had extra energy?
- What creative things was I skipping to complete a to-do list?
- How much time was spent caring for myself vs. other people?
- Does the city where I live still work for me?
- What was my home environment like? Was I happy when I walked into my home?
- Did I like what I saw in the mirror when I got dressed? Did my clothing reflect me as I want to be seen?
- Did I feel vibrant and healthy?
- Was I spending enough time on spiritual growth? Was meditating and praying enough, or would I feel more connected if I did something else? What could that be?
- If I always loved traveling, how could I return to that and fit that into my life?
Can you tell us about the specific trigger that made you decide that you were going to “take the plunge” and make your huge transition?
My father passed away. Dad was both a brutally honest critic and my biggest supporter. When his Alzheimer’s got the best of his brain, it was so hard for me. I spent so much of my younger years trying to gain his approval, waiting for him to be proud of me. Taking care of him and my mother, he finally told me how proud he was of the woman I had become. Then he told me I needed to take care of myself because I had lost that spark he most admired when I was younger.
Two weeks after Dad died, I was diagnosed with a rare form of eye cancer, which seemed like a message from Dad that I should start focusing on taking care of myself. I needed to really SEE myself and look inside for what would bring me joy. So that’s when I started this journey.
What did you do to discover that you had a new skillset inside of you that you haven’t been maximizing? How did you find that and how did you ultimately overcome the barriers to help manifest those powers?
I have been writing since I was thirteen years old, mainly in a journal at first, but then also for industry and trade, as well as for local newspapers and magazines. Every job I have ever had involved writing proposals, reports, invitations, press releases, or stories. When the publisher of my first caregiving book suggested that I help some of her clients write their memoirs, I jumped on it and discovered a new purpose. It helped me get through the most intense caregiving — to be able to help others express their journey.
My other passion in life has always included caring for animals. I decided to start pet sitting professionally. I would get to ghostwrite books while I was with adorable pets who gave and received love from me. I would satisfy the travel bug by staying in people’s homes in different environments.
And, as I pet sat at people’s homes, I began helping a friend finish his paranormal romance novel and found my fiction writing interest reignited. I’ve started writing a series of Pet Sitter Mysteries and Adventures. Each client’s home had something unique that I could imagine into an adventurous short story. I’m working on those right now. One is a story about fat-sucking aliens landing on the lake I was gazing at one day. Another involves a home with so many flies in the breakfast nook that extended off the house that I wondered if a dead body was under there, so I investigated. Another involved a light around a fireplace that led to a staircase into a dungeon room! So much fun to create these scenarios. Being a published fiction writer is next on my goal list. I’m manifesting that into reality!
The most significant barrier here is not second-guessing myself. I wanted a simple life but kept chasing “shiny bubbles” with every new idea I imagined, and thus, none of them came to pass because it was not the life I really wanted. I don’t want to build a whole new business at this point in my life. I want a life of ease. I don’t want to report to anyone, and I don’t want anyone reporting to me. I want to work more leisurely.
I want to live where I can walk to everything I need and have cultural experiences close enough to enjoy within one hour. I want people looking in on me and caring if I’m alive or dead, but I don’t want to live with anyone. I want to enter my home and feel, “Ahhh, I can relax now.” I want to be able to entertain, so my home has to be gracious and welcoming to guests. If I can see my life in this more relaxed mode and accept that the money will follow as the universe allows me to live this life, then I will be living my optimal life.
How are things going with this new initiative? We would love to hear some specific examples or stories.
I moved to Charlotte, NC, and live in a fifty-five-plus building. Charlotte has theaters, museums, restaurants, adorable towns to explore, mountains nearby to hike, parks to walk through, and plenty of free community events. The weather features seasons and one hot month, but mostly not too hot and not too cold! The libraries are fantastic. Farmers markets abound. I pet sit about half of every month, ghostwrite, and write my fiction. I still speak and write about caregiving, but I am no longer on tour all the time. I just published The Caregiving GAP Year: 12 Months to Grow, Aspire, and Explore All Possibilities After Caregiving Ends to help others going through a transition like this work through everything to create a personal life vision. The response to the GAP year guidebook has been incredibly positive.
Is there a particular person who you are grateful towards who helped get you to where you are? Can you share a story about that?
Three people have helped me transition into this new chapter of my life.
The first is Denise, who helped me identify that I was chasing shiny bubbles… always looking for the excitement of a new idea but not going through building it entirely (not monetizing it). The conceptualizing and planning were exciting; the doing, not so much. I always wished I could find someone just to take over and make my vision happen without me having to do any of the day-to-day work. Denise pushed me to transition away from Florida by inviting me to stay in her home in Charlotte while I worked through this journey.
The second person is Robert. He lost his soulmate (his wife) to breast cancer. In the devastation, he worked to re-boot his life. He moved to a small village in Italy (where his grandfather was born) after shutting down his finance business. He did not speak Italian but still packed up his life in the USA and moved. As I have been going through this journey, so has he. He now lives a minimalist life (more than me, for sure) and wrote a book called ROE (Return on Energy by Robert Pardi, released October 2024.) He writes poetry and goes to the beach every day. He’s now reading literature in Italian and moved to a more beachfront town. He lives in a studio apartment and enjoys mornings in the gym and eating gelato. He takes off two months of summer and works remotely on projects that interest him the rest of the year.
The third person is Helene. Helene offered me her Eternal Healing Hypnosis program to reduce trauma responses and negative self-talk. She used neuro-linguistic programming and hypnosis to help me identify when I am moving in a self-destructive way. She helped me excavate my genuine desires and see what was blocking me from accepting that I don’t need to live the way other people live. I can live a simpler, stress-free life by doing what I love, and I will thrive. Once you believe you can, then you can! You just start moving everything toward your vision.
However, the most significant knowledge I gained was Helene’s practice of energy philanthropy, where she offers services for whatever the client can contribute. She taught me that the universe’s energy rewards us in other ways to compensate for providing support to fellow humans and animals. I’ve taken on that practice myself and find that it is more freeing for my soul and more pleasing to my energy.
Can you share the most interesting story that happened to you since you started in this new direction?
My body is healthy with no cancer since I’ve made this move. I am healed. My energy is up. My joy factor is way up. I feel peaceful. I say that my Type A personality has resettled into a Type L. Living and Loving Life.
I find now that whatever I need comes to me with ease. I don’t need to push. When something does not come through for me, it’s for a reason I might not yet understand, but it becomes clear later. So, I don’t fret. (I used to fret a lot!)
I am manifesting all that I require. From a simple thing like saying aloud, “You know, I think I do need a vacuum of some kind,” and then having my new neighbor Linda ask me if I would like her robot vacuum because her son just brought her a brand new one. Uhm, yes, thank you!
I put a note on my Facebook page and sent text messages letting people know I needed a fold-down dining table that wouldn’t take up much room and didn’t want to pay more than $100. A few days later, my friend called and said he was at Goodwill and had found exactly what I wanted for $15. Did I want him to pick it up and bring it to me? Uhm. Yes, thank you! And it’s perfect. I needed chairs for the table; my sister-in-law ordered nice folding chairs to surprise me.
I had applied for a job that I thought was perfect for me (before I started pet sitting) and was upset I didn’t get it, but it turned out that the job (now that I watch someone else do it) would have made me too exhausted to live my life in the manner I find most pleasing. Okay. Bullet avoided. Pet sitting business has booked over 130 days within six months of launching with no advertising! It seems the universe agrees that pet-sitting is where I am meant to be.
Clients book me for pet sitting, or I have dinner plans, and I am set to go, but I drag my feet getting ready because I am not up for going out, when suddenly I will get a call, and they cancel on me! When someone cancels, and I might be at risk of losing money, something else comes up and fills the gap.
I feel the universe is now aligned to support me instead of always putting up blocks to keep me from getting or going where I intended. I find that quite interesting.
Did you ever struggle with believing in yourself? If so, how did you overcome that limiting belief about yourself? Can you share a story or example?
My self-diminishing beliefs came from the language my mother used when I was growing up. “You passed your test with a B+ but could have gotten an A if you studied harder.” “You look nice, but you would look better if you let me have someone cut your hair.” “Your grandmother really needs some help, and I am counting on you. Tell your friend you can’t go to the [fill-in party, event, concert, activity].”
I spent most of my adult life not believing that I was enough. That nothing I could do would be precisely correct. There was the unspoken “…but” attached to every compliment or praise …which meant I could do it better or choose the right thing (in mom’s eyes) if I applied myself. I felt I could never make my family or friends proud. So, I worked like a fiend. Which actually alienated people because I was exhausted and unavailable! Funny how that works.
After my father passed away, I could no longer take the negativity coming from my mother. I confronted my mother and explained how her words made me feel. Her response was either, “I’m sorry you feel that way,” or “You take things too personally,” She said it was not her intention to make me feel the way I was feeling, invalidating how I felt. When I started this life reboot, I worked up the courage to point out every time my mother said something offensive or hurtful. I would keep at it until she recognized that her actions caused my reaction. I told her I couldn’t speak to her anymore on a call because I was angry and would attack her back. I expressed over and over how she made me feel and gave her examples and then told her to think about how she would feel if I said, [… fill in the blank]. I couldn’t tell her I loved her, and I wouldn’t hug her. She didn’t like that. After my diagnosis, I pushed for my mother to move back to New York to be nearer my siblings. “After all,” I told her, “you obviously prefer my siblings over me because you don’t treat them the way you treat me.”
After months of this, my mother realized what she had lost and apologized. She has since apologized for hurting me and pushing me away. She admitted she was jealous of my relationship with her husband, my father. She acknowledged that she resented that I knew better how to help them as a couple than she could handle and thus felt inadequate in her role as a wife. So, détente came, and we are now close. This breakthrough helped me move on to a belief that I have value, and I made the right choices for my family and thus could make the right choices for myself. It makes me smile, knowing that my mother walks around her assisted living community now with my books in the pouch on her walker. When someone has a family or caregiving issue, she pulls out one of my books and shows them where they can find advice on how to smooth that out! She’s my biggest fan. She even presented with me twice during my last trip to New York to visit her.
In my own work I usually encourage my clients to ask for support before they embark on something new. How did you create your support system before you moved to your new chapter?
I was reviewing every aspect of my life, so I needed emotional support more than anything else. I needed to cut some people out of my life because they brought negativity into my energy field, which was unhealthy. Snip, snip. The phone went to voice mail, and many texts and emails remained unopened and unread until I was ready to deal with them. “Let it go” was my mantra.
I worked out things with my mother, which gave me the grace to let go of trying to solve all her problems, along with removing all the related stress, tension, and anger from my body.
Then Denise offered me a transitional place to land so I could have shelter, a guide, and support. Once I left Denise’s home, I moved into a building with a support network built in through the programming, events, and gathering opportunities to make friends and meet neighbors. I wasn’t isolated.
Daily check-in every morning comes from a fellow former caregiver from my support group. We text every morning to make sure we’re both alive, and should we not respond, we have an action plan for what to do.
Robert is a life and business coach and offers me guidance along the way in the form of questions that push me to reevaluate my preconceived notions. Plus, he keeps reminding me how fabulous I am, and who can’t use a little pep talk now and then? His guidance to find a work/life balance helped me determine that building and managing a big company was not where I wanted to go in my sixties. I wanted to downsize responsibilities and upsize soul-enriching activities.
Starting a new chapter usually means getting out of your comfort zone, how did you do that? Can you share a story or example of that?
For me, I think it was different. I needed more to get out of my discomfort zone. I have lived in perpetual discomfort, feeling lost and wanting to go home but not knowing how to identify “Home” for much of my adult life — feeling like I was always falling short of accomplishing all the things on my master list. Only by entering this second chapter of my life do I finally feel like I’ve found and created a home: my things, my friends, my work, and my energy that suits me.
I track my activities daily in my phone calendar if only to answer the question, “What did I do all day?” I was doing self-care for some of my day. Things like meditation, fitness, talking to friends, checking on mom, paying bills, and attending events in my building all wound up on my calendar. At first, I would think, “Well, what is wrong with me? I haven’t gotten anything important done today.” But one day, I had a revelation… I realized I had fallen into a pattern of working about four hours daily and doing other “life” things the rest of the day. I decided to accept that as my goal. I would aim for four solid hours of “work” stuff, but then I’d concentrate on living my optimal life and not stress about getting more things checked off the list. I moved them to the next day, week, or month. Like I said earlier, I asked, “Will this matter in a week? A month? A year?” Based on the answer, I moved those things that were obviously not critical or deadline-oriented. Oh, and I changed deadlines, too! I’m the boss of me; I can do that!
What are your “5 things I wish someone told me before I started” and why?
5 Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me About Making A Big Transition in Life
1 . Change takes time. Give yourself the grace to allow things to happen in small steps.
2 . Dream of what you want and go for it. Don’t pay attention to anyone else’s pre-conceived ideas about you or what you are capable of. Start living the “dream” as reality.
3 . You are entitled to live your best life. Living in service of others at the expense of your happiness is unhealthy and self-destructive.
4 . Reward and praise yourself along the way. For each small success or lesson learned through trial and error, take a beat to celebrate and reward yourself.
5 . Assume you’re already there now. The past is gone, and the future is uncertain, so live in the now and start living the life you want by changing your mindset that some dream life is in the future. Do the things you love now; live the way you want to live now… making that mindset change will attract all that you desire.
I’ve spent years and years while taking care of my parents and before that, dreaming of a life where I can have time in the mountains embedded in nature but also time in the city enjoying culture. I dreamed of being near water to swim and sail. It was always in the future. I thought I had to choose. I couldn’t have all of those things unless I became a multi-millionaire with homes all around, right? But I’m greedy. I wanted all of those things. I didn’t fancy taking on the burden of home ownership and all the maintenance and expense that would involve. Home ownership seemed contraindicated for the laid-back life I was hoping for. I craved the freedom to pick up and leave if something enticed me. But I also didn’t want the expense of going from hotel to hotel. That didn’t appeal to me.
I continued to imagine myself in the ocean, in the mountains, and on the dock at a lake, about to step into a boat. I did meditations that took me into nature, where I could be like Snow White and sit on the ground with all the animals around me, peacefully. Well, here’s what happened… I put all those images in my head, and without realizing it, I suddenly find I am living that life! Pet Sitting gives me access to the mountains, lakes, and the ocean. Pet sitting gives me play time and love time with animals. Pet sitting gives me income to help me afford to live in an urban building where I can walk to restaurants, a wine bar, a Whole Foods market, medical support, free concerts in the park, food festivals, etc. I didn’t have to get rich to do it. I just had to imagine myself there, and now “there” I am!
You are a person of great influence. If you could inspire a movement that would bring the most amount of good to the most amount of people, what would that be?
I would like to bring caregiver education into the high school system and teach young people how to support their families. Learning first aid skills, cooking, and how to be a companion to the elderly or infirm would enable them to help at home or to get part-time work. If young people did not fear illness or the elderly and could support their parents at home with generational care, then more people might find they want to have a career in the health industry. This is important because, with our aging boomer population, an insufficient number of caregivers are available to meet the need. Plus, the expenses for caring for our loved ones at home would go down, and there would be less stress on caregivers in general because more people could provide support.
We are very blessed that some very prominent names in Business, VC funding, Sports, and Entertainment read this column. Is there a person in the world, or in the US with whom you would love to have a private breakfast or lunch with, and why? He or she might just see this if we tag them. :-)
Michael Bloomberg. His non-profit funds work to develop future healthcare workers, and I’d love to talk to him about creating a program (I have a curriculum) for schools or after-school, as well as internships to educate young people.
