I'm probably going to insult Taoism here, basically Taoism says, "stay in tune with the natural way of the world. It included health and happiness. Do what you're designed to do rather than forcing the unnatural."
For a warm, caring, nurturing person, it might go against her grain, it might effect her happiness in a bad way, if she did what her parents wanted and became a lawyer like her dad. Maybe she's never happy ...
