    The Rebrand: Retiring the Version of You That Kept Everyone Else Comfortable

    If you’re navigating a midlife identity shift, feeling burned out, or questioning the life you built — this episode is for you. In this episode of Too Late, My Ass™, Fay Chapple explores what happens when your identity outgrows the roles that once kept everyone else comfortable. The reliable one. The agreeable one. The strong one. The version of you that made life work — until it didn’t. This conversation breaks down the neuroscience and psychology behind identity change, midlife reinvention, and why “stopping” an old way of being can feel more destabilizing than starting something new. You’ll learn: Why midlife reinvention often feels like restlessness, grief, or burnout How unconscious performance becomes identity — and why it eventually collapses What it really means to “rebrand yourself” beyond careers or social media Why awareness changes everything — and why it’s also uncomfortable How to navigate the space between who you were and who you’re becoming This episode isn’t about motivation or starting over. It’s about retiring an identity that no longer fits — without guilt, apology, or self-betrayal. If you’ve reached a point where you can’t go back to who you were, but don’t yet know what comes next, this episode will help you understand why that feeling exists — and what it’s asking of you. 🎧 Listen now and begin your second act.
