In this episode of Postcards from the YES Life, host Kimberly Peek takes you beyond her own story and into the heart of what it means to stop waiting for “someday” and start living fully now. Drawing on science, real-life stories, and her own midlife reinvention, Kim explains why so many of us delay joy—and how one small “YES” can shift everything.

You’ll learn: ✨ Why waiting for the perfect time keeps you stuck in the “deferred happiness trap” ✨ The psychology of temporal discounting (and how it sabotages your dreams) ✨ How to use Main Character Energy scripting to reframe your daily life ✨ Simple, affordable ways to spark novelty and adventure right where you are ✨ Why joy isn’t selfish—it’s survival, resilience, and the fuel for your best life

Whether you’re craving midlife reinvention, healing from a plot twist, or just ready to infuse your days with more meaning, this episode will inspire you to say yes today, not someday.
