Episode Synopsis


Starting Over at 65: 7 Life Lessons I Will Never Regret
At 65, I sat at my dining room table with tears in my eyes, whispering, “I don’t want to die with regrets.” I had two quiet dreams: write children’s books and start a podcast. I didn’t know how, but I said yes to myself anyway.
Now, on my 68th birthday, I’m sharing the 7 life lessons I’ve learned since that day. Some brought tears, others unexpected joy. They all reshaped how I see myself and what’s still possible.
In this episode, I talk about:

Letting go of panic and perfectionism
Rewriting the beliefs that kept me stuck
Setting boundaries with peace
Making peace with imposter syndrome
Starting over, even when it’s scary

Whether you're 25, 65, or somewhere in between, this is your reminder: ✨ It’s not too late. 💛 You’re not too old. 🕊 You’re not behind—you’re becoming.
Lyrics quoted in this episode are from “This Is the Time” by Superchick. Used with appreciation for creative inspiration.
