The article reflects on the allure of shows like 'A New Life in the Sun' and 'Chateau DIY,' which portray individuals pursuing new careers in idyllic settings that inspire daydreams.

Two-thirds of women said they would change career: 31% dream about the possibility and 34% are open to pivoting. This seems low... don't we all feel this?
