For much of my life, I chased security, money, responsibility, and what I thought I was supposed to want.

But while I was out walking, a thought came to me that I could not shake:

What if I have been chasing the wrong things?

At sixty-two, time feels different. The future no longer feels endless, and the possibility of reaching the end of my life with important parts of myself still unexplored has become harder to ignore.

In this episode, I confront the fear of wasted time, the dreams I kept postponing, and the life I built around safety rather than aliveness.

I do not want my unfinished desires waiting for me at the end, asking why I never gave them a chance.

So I am asking myself a different question now:

What would it take to make the rest of my life interesting, engaging, and truly my own?

This is a reflection on regret, responsibility, courage, and the decision to stop playing safe while there is still time to live differently.

THEE BIG SWING with Lloyd Hassell

There's a version of you that existed before something shifted - before a conversation, a decision, a thing you almost didn't say. You don't always recognize the moment it happened. You just notice, later, that you're not who you were.

This is a reflective podcast about those moments: the emotional reckonings and subtle internal recalibrations that change our trajectory over time - and the possibilities still available in life.

Each episode explores what happens when curiosity, courage, accountability, or reflection opens a new way of seeing ourselves and the world.

Through personal reflections and conversations, Lloyd explores changing identities, relationships, self-trust, and the quiet decisions that alter how we see ourselves over time.

This is for people who are quietly realizing they are not the same person anymore - and that there are still choices left.

The biggest swing isn't always dramatic.

Often, it's the shift inside that changes everything.
