Sharing a little good news today. 🌻

Late Bloomer Living just landed at #65 on Goodpods' Top 100 Documentary indie podcast list.

That's not a fluke and it's not bought. That's six years of conversations, 278+ episodes, and a community that keeps showing up, sharing, and listening. That's you.

I started this podcast because I realized I'd been quietly believing my best years were behind me, and I figured I probably wasn't the only one. Seeing where we've landed because of that one decision still kind of blows my mind.

Thank you for being part of this. We're not slowing down.
Bloom like you mean it 🌸

Do you feel guilty when you rest? When you take time to do something just for fun are you thinking about your to do list?

You're not alone. It's one of the things I hear most from women in midlife — this constant feeling that taking time for yourself is somehow taking something away from the people you love.

I was recently a guest on Teresa Lisum's Evolving Women series on YouTube and we talked about exactly this.

And I said something that I want to say again here:
There is no downside to taking care of yourself. None. When you fill your own cup, the people in your life don't lose — they gain.

This Memorial Day weekend, consider this your permission slip. Play. Rest. Do something that makes you feel alive.
It's a ripple effect in advance. 🌊🌻

As the new year approaches, it’s natural to start thinking about resolutions, goals, and all the things we hope to achieve. But let’s be real—how often do those big plans leave us feeling overwhelmed or burnt out by February?

That’s why I’ve embraced a simpler, more meaningful practice: choosing a word of the year.

In this weeks episode of the Late Bloomer Living podcast, I share how this powerful little habit has helped me stay focused and inspired, even during the tough days. Words like help, play, and community have been my guideposts in past years —reminding me of what matters most and shaping my decisions in surprising ways.

If you’re curious about how to pick your own word (or why you should), this episode is for you! I break it all down and share practical tips to help you choose a word that feels like a touchstone for the year ahead.

Late Bloomer Living is BLOOMING!

4 1/2 years ago I started a podcast.

Who knew I’d make it to season 5 and over 200 episodes?!

I drew the picture of the little girl peeking out from behind a wall with a flower growing out of her head, and used it for my cover art because I felt like that little girl even at the age of 50!

One of the reasons I chose to do an audio only podcast is because I didn’t want to be on camera. Even though I used to be an actress, I felt very uncomfortable in front of a camera. It felt much safer to do an audio only podcast where people couldn’t see my face.

This podcast has changed me. I’ve had to put myself “out there” in order to reach people and connect. That includes making myself get more comfortable in front of a camera.

So here I am putting myself “out there”!

This is the new cover art for the Late Bloomer Living Podcast. So, wherever you listen to podcasts, this is what you will see in the feed. 😊

Thanks for listening!😘

In this episode, I’m chatting with Oorbee Roy, also known as Auntie Skates, who decided to shake things up at age 43 by hopping on a skateboard for the first time. What started as a curiosity quickly turned into a life-changing adventure.
