Swim with sharks
Literally. After a debilitating breakup, I took a trip to Belize with a good friend. We got scuba-certified and dove in an area called Shark Ray Alley. It was easily the scariest thing I’d ever done. (I have a lifelong phobia of sharks and the ocean!) We must have seen 5 or 6 sharks, including one that swam right by me. But it shook me up in a great way, and I came home feeling good. So I guess my recommendation is to do something scary. Good luck to you.

I love this! Sharks are so misunderstood (thanks, Jaws). Seeing them can signify a health reef, and a good guide will make sure you’re prepared to watch for the behaviors that indicate they are agitated. I hope you get to have more shark encounters!

I left government for museums! Best decision I ever made. But I had to go back to school (at 50, fyi) to get a masters in museum studies. It was scary but worth it. I am lucky because I have a partner who could support our family while I was in school. I realize it is much more difficult otherwise. Seek out mentors. Ask your friends to help you make connections. Join industry networking groups. It's boring advice, but I think it's the right advice. Best of luck to you.
