Sahp looking for a change

I hope I don't get flamed. I'm a sahm in a very lucky position. I have a primary aged child and a PT nanny for my 1.5 year old. It was a rough 8 years , infertility, losses, bad pnd etc. I have finally got a handle of things and trying to get my life back on track.

I have not worked for 10 years. I took 2 years off before trying for dc to travel, my dh worked for an Amazing company and I was able to travel to lots of places and be with him. I had a career that was just taking off when I left. We then had dc and many, many years have passed. I give my all to my family but realised I have lost my purpose or feeling fulfilled.

My dh is very supportive, work, don't work, study, really it's up to me. I am thinking ahead when my youngest starts school FT and have all this Time for myself. I'm thinking of retraining but just not sure of what? Are there online career advice sites that I could try?

I had a corporate career in banking/accounting. I'm out of touch with all of it now. It was quite intense and stressful so not sure I want to get back into that again . I'm not creative too so that rules out alot. Any advice for this 41yo mum who has lost her way? Thanks!

Law? HR? Or do you find that caring for your kids has rubbed off onto a career choice- social work/nurse/teaching?

I am in a very similar situation :) I am just starting the exercises in the book ‘what colour is your parachute’ which has a good reputation. I will let you know if I find it helpful.
