Career Break Story: Leaving Attorney Life for a Family Roadtrip Around the US with Carmelita Tiu
Carmelita Tiu (aka Millie or Cat), is passionate about doing good in the world and raising her kids to become good adults. She's a podcaster, creative, lawyer, educator, spouse, and mom to two daughters. After receiving her art degree and law degree, she worked as an attorney at The Oprah Winfrey Show and OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network for several years, then pivoted to the design and advertising world for almost a decade before hitting pause and taking a career break.
Though she's based in Chicago, she's currently looping around the U.S. with her family for the 2021-22 school year -- a bucket list dive into memory-making, hyperfocusing on the family, and pouring into passion projects. She's the producer and host of "Know Them, Be Them, Raise Them", a podcast to help mindful and growth-oriented moms of tween & teen girls stay informed and inspired. She's also roadschooling her daughters (with mixed results!) on this epic journey they're taking.
