Going Back to College at 40: How to Apply Abroad Without Fear

October 01, 2025 • Jese Gary • Season 2 • Episode 13

Dreaming of going back to school in your 40s? In this episode, I share how women over 40 can return to college, apply abroad with confidence, and pursue the purpose God has placed on their hearts.

I open up about my personal journey of returning to college with the goal of becoming a professor, and how I’ve always wanted to live abroad. You’ll hear practical tips for finding the best programs, navigating applications, and debunking common myths about language barriers. This episode is for every woman wondering if it’s “too late” to start over—you’ll discover that age is never a barrier to education, growth, or purpose.

If you’ve ever felt the nudge to step into something new in midlife, you’re not alone. This conversation will provide you with clarity, courage, and encouragement to embark on your next chapter.
