When I renamed the podcast The Late Bloomer Show, some of you may have wondered: "What if I don't feel like a late bloomer — is this still for me?"

I recorded a mini podcast episode talking about exactly that:) Listen here.

Here are my hot takes:

🌱 "Late bloomer" to me means feeling "behind" in any way. To me, late bloomer isn't about the amount of experience or inexperience— it's about the feeling of being behind where you thought you "should" be. That feeling is so real, and this community, podcast, and movement is here to remind you: you are right on time.

🌱 If you do identify as a late bloomer, I'm right there with you, I did, too. I'm so excited to usher in this new era of the podcast.

🌱 And if the phrase "late bloomer" doesn't resonate with you, that's okay too. Because if you've ever felt pressure, shame, or that nagging sense of being "too late, too much, or not enough" — then this space was built for you, too.

✨ This mini episode dives into exactly what The Late Bloomer Show is for — and why it's for you, whether or not you use that label. 💜
