Women who started/solidified their careers late?

I am soon to be 26 and I recently quit my corporate career for my passion which is going to be one incredibly difficult journey and I definitely am scared whether I'll be able to make the cut or not.

I'd love to hear stories from women who started their careers late in life (say, after 28/29) or got success later in life.

I've allowed replies from men too as more the stories, more the boost to my confidence but I'd especially like to hear from women.
