The word “retirement” was invented to make you feel finished — convenient, right? Society sells it as the prize at the end of the race. But what if it’s actually the trap that keeps you small?

In this episode, Fay Chapple calls total BS on the idea that your most meaningful years end at 65. She dismantles the cultural myth of retirement — who created it, why it benefits corporations (not you), and how to reclaim this stage of life as your prime time, not your wind-down.

Forget shuffleboard and savings plans — this is about purpose, visibility, and refusing to fade out quietly. Because you’re not done. You’re just done pretending.

In this episode:

🔥 The real history of retirement (and how it was never meant for you)

💡 Why we confuse rest with invisibility

🎙️ What happens when you stop “retiring” and start reinventing

💥 How to rewire your identity after decades of playing by the rules

Listen now — and if anyone tells you it’s time to “slow down,” send them this episode and say, Too Late? My Ass.

Motivation is a scam. There, I said it. If “just stay motivated” actually worked, we’d all be billionaires with six-packs by now. But motivation is nothing more than a sugar high — it spikes, it crashes, and it leaves you with guilt and excuses.

In this episode, I’m torching the motivation myth and giving you the truth: motivation isn’t what creates lasting change. Systems, discipline, micro-wins, and purpose do. I’ll show you why waiting to “feel like it” is killing your reinvention — and exactly what to do instead.

Because your Act II doesn’t need another Pinterest quote about hustle. It needs real, unsexy, effective action.

🎧 Hit play. Reinvent without waiting for motivation to show up.

For anyone who thought their moment had passed - your comeback starts now.

Scrolling through everyone else’s highlight reel and thinking, “I’m so behind”? Too Late, My Ass. In this fiery episode, Fay rips apart the comparison trap and shows you how to blow up the false timelines that keep you stuck.

She dives into why traditional milestones (marriage, house, promotions, retirement dreams) were never designed with you in mind — and how to trade “I should have by now” for “watch what I build next.”

With her signature wit and unapologetic honesty, Fay lays out a no-BS framework for turning jealousy, regret, and shame into fuel for your comeback.

💥 If you’ve ever whispered, “I thought I’d be further ahead by now,” this is the episode you can’t afford to miss.

Who decided the “dream life” was skydiving, bungee jumping, or sipping cocktails on a beach? Your bucket list is boring — and in this episode, Fay explains why those Instagram-friendly fantasies are distractions, not directions.

Instead, she’ll show you how to design a real reinvention map that feels electrifying in the day-to-day, not just “one day when.” This is about trading tired clichés for bold clarity: starting that business, finally getting visible, rebuilding your confidence, or daring to do the thing you’ve been talking yourself out of for decades.

✨ Warning: After this episode, you’ll never look at bucket lists the same way again.
