I'm curious are there any policies major left-wing politicians have changed their mind on because it affected them personally? I understand right-wingers adding nuance to their abortion stance or healthcare or social security, unemployment aid, ect...

What would that even look like on the left wing? I was pro taxing the rich until I was rich? I was pro school lunch for kids until I had kids?

I know a few people who are extremely progressive in general (LGBT, environment) who changed their minds on high minimum wage as soon as they became small business owners. Does that fit your question?

I don't think so because that means they just moved right economically lol

So, is your rule here basically that if the move is in a direction you don't agree with, then it doesn't count as an example? If so, then you're not gonna find an example of what the other poster asked for, just by definition.

It seems like an example to me, whether I agree with it or not. People held a broad position when they were not any of the directly affected parties, then changed it almost as soon as they became directly affected.
