Episode 235: Reinvention After 50: My Biggest Takeaways from 5 Years of Podcasting

Turns out reinvention isn’t a one-time thing—it’s a lifestyle

Spoiler alert: I’m still figuring it out (and that’s the point)

Five years. Over 200 conversations. One big realization: It’s never too late.

In this special solo episode, I’m reflecting on what five years of hosting the Late Bloomer Living Podcast have taught me—not just about aging, but about resilience, reinvention, and the power of living playfully at any age.

From the early days of self-doubt and hitting the snooze button (literally), to discovering the joy of roller skating and watercolor journaling in midlife, this journey has been anything but predictable. You’ll also hear a short clip montage from past guests Mimi Ison, Lynn McNutt, and Dierdre Wolownick—women who embody the spirit of figuring it out as you go.

Here’s what podcasting taught me about reinvention, resilience, and blooming on your own timeline.
Whether you’ve been with me since day one or you’re new to the party, this episode is an invitation to stop waiting—and start blooming.
