Lara Hamilton was facing her 40th birthday — and the realization that she just wasn't passionate about her job. She worried it was too late to lose a steady paycheck in exchange for finding work she really loved. But she found courage and inspiration from a surprising source: Julia Child's years living in France. Lara tells KUOW's Jeannie Yandel how Julia helped her then, and how Julia's still helping her now.
