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.

• 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.
