In this raw and vulnerable third annual birthday episode, Krista turns 47 and challenges everything we think we know about success, timing, and being "behind" in life. Spoiler alert: If you're in your 40s, 50s, or beyond and feel like you haven't hit your stride yet, you're not late...you're right on time.

Using the metaphor of the oak tree, which doesn't hit its prime acorn production until ages 50-80, Krista makes the case for embracing being a late bloomer and why your most productive, impactful years may still be ahead of you.

Listen in for:

The hard questions of midlife: "What am I doing this all for? Are my dreams really possible?" [06:58]

How this past year looked different than any other in 15 years of entrepreneurship [11:04]

The major life events that forced constant hustling and why there was never space until now [13:28]

Why hustling hard was actually a mask for not pursuing the real dream [18:34]

The statistics that prove you're not alone in feeling behind (hint: 57% of workers feel behind on retirement) [22:13]

The oak tree metaphor that will change how you think about your timeline [24:19] Why years 50-80 are the oak tree's PRIME producing years (not 20-40 like society tells us) [26:49]

How optimizing your "acorn production" creates a legacy that lasts 300+ years [29:28]

Famous late bloomers who didn't hit their stride until their 40s, 50s, and 60s [31:46]

Krista's late bloomer goal and why she's reclaiming the narrative [35:54]

Whether you're questioning your timeline, feeling behind on your dreams, or wondering if it's too late, this episode is your reminder that life is long and your best work may still be ahead of you.
