You’re not too old. You’re not too late. And your best damn chapter hasn’t even started yet. This is the place for second acts, third chances, and plot twists you never saw coming, whether you’re climbing out of a career you hate, crawling out of a midlife fog, or just wondering what the hell comes next. Hosted by international speaker and reinvention expert Fay Chapple, this show is equal parts truth bomb, pep talk, and permission slip — laced with sarcasm, wit, and zero tolerance for fluff. No fluff. No filters. Because whoever said it’s too late… Yeah. Tell them: My. Ass.

    Sell It: Why You Cannot Say The Number, And The Four Moves That Fix It

    You picked your one thing. You built the ugly version. And then somebody asks what it costs and you hear a voice come out of your mouth that you do not recognise. This episode is about why that happens to people over 50 in particular, and it is not a confidence problem. Forty years of your working life, somebody else set the number and told you what you were worth. You were very good at being worth it. Nobody ever handed you the pen. Inside: the UCLA experiment that showed social rejection running through the same circuitry as physical pain, why Vanessa Bohns' research at Cornell says you are wrong about your odds by close to half, the three places people hide instead of asking, and four moves you can run this week. Plus what I am doing about my own number by Friday, and whether it goes badly.

    Build It Gently. Why Smart People Polish Instead of Ship

    The quiet one. All week we have been loud about building: putting the rough version in front of real people before it feels ready. This morning we meet the part of you that has been keeping it safe. Arriving in the body, coherent breathing at about six breaths a minute, a guided visualisation of a Thursday afternoon three weeks from now when the rough version has already been seen, five journal prompts, and a short voice note practice to carry into the week. You do not need to have started anything. You do not need to know what your one thing is yet. Just be here. The Weekly Rebellion lands Monday morning, one thought to get you moving: toolatemyass.com Start here, free: toolatemyass.com/starter-kit Sunday Mornings is part of Too Late, My Ass, the world for people over 50.

    Build It: Why Smart People Polish Instead of Ship

    Last week we picked our one thing. This week we build it, and Fay argues that the way most capable people were taught to build is exactly why nothing gets built. Somewhere in your house there is a folder: a business name, a logo, a plan with a section called Year Three. How many people who might pay you have seen inside it? Fay starts with her own weak first version this season and why she could only see it was weak because it existed. Then the science: why being judged sets off one of the biggest stress responses the body has, and why small visible progress is what actually keeps people going. You will hear the pottery class that explains everything, the three things almost everyone over 50 builds instead of the real thing, why it gets harder after 50, and the seven day ugly build: one sentence, one small version, three real people, one fix. Too Late, My Ass is hosted by Fay Chapple: brand builder, started over after fifty, now doing it in public so you can see how it is done. Too Late My Ass is built by Fay and her partner Stacy Maynard, who runs the systems and the Implementation Labs behind RISE55.

    Choosing One Thing On Purpose | Breathwork, Meditation and Journaling

    The quiet one. All week we have been loud about choosing, closing doors, and the people who make nothing because they try everything. This morning we set that down and let it settle.About 25 minutes: arriving in the body, a 4 4 6 2 breathing pattern, a guided anchor practice ("I chose this on purpose, and I am still here"), five journal prompts, and a gentle close.You do not need anything. You do not need to have chosen yet. Just be here.

    Why the People Who Make Nothing Try Everything

    Season 3 opens with the one skill nobody teaches you after 50: How to Choose. Fay tells the story of the night she reheated the same cup of coffee three times and realized her "open options" were running her life into the ground. Then the science: the Zeigarnik effect, decision fatigue, and the jam study that shows why more choice gets attention and less choice gets decisions. You will hear the three doors almost everyone over 50 keeps open, why choosing gets harder with experience (and how to make that work for you), and the Tab Audit: a one hour exercise that takes you from thirty nine maybes to one thing you are actually building.

    Your Bio Is a Leash (And It's Choking Your Next Chapter)

    Read your LinkedIn bio out loud. Did that sound like who you are now, or who you were at your last job?Your bio isn't describing you, it's issuing instructions about you.

    You're Not Starting Over. You Need a Translator.

    You're not starting over. Your experience isn't old, it's untranslated.  Fay reveals how to reframe your past achievements into powerful future-facing statements, overcoming the confidence gap that arises from outdated advice. Discover how to leverage your decades of expertise, not as baggage, but as your greatest asset. Key Takeaways: Translate, don’t reinvent: Recognize that your experience isn’t a problem, it’s the point, just in need of a new language. Identify the translation gap: Understand that feeling stuck is often a communication issue, not a lack of skills. Reframe past wins: Rewrite your accomplishments to highlight what they prove you can do next, not just what you did. Own your expertise: Stop apologizing for your experience; it’s your most significant advantage. Build your future: Use your translated experience to confidently step into new roles and opportunities. → Translate your bio free (AI Finally):  toolatemyass.com/aifinally → Find where you're pointed (the Compass):  toolatemyass.com/compass → Next First Wednesday Live · noon ET · free, no card:  toolatemyass.com/wednesdaylive → The whole system, The Rebellion Room:  toolatemyass.com/rebellionroom

    I Built Three Things Nobody Asked For

    Nobody asked Fay to build any of it. This year she shipped three things anyway — Stillwater Reset, an honest no-supplements water-reset app; The Mindful City, a map to where your city's most interesting minds are actually speaking; and Season Two of Too Late My Ass, with a real room to do the work instead of just nodding along. In this solo episode she walks through the why behind each one — and the single stubborn bet sitting underneath all three: that nothing you survive is wasted, that you don't start over (you translate), and that you're not too late — you're exactly on time. Start free with The Compass at the top of the links. Doors open the first week of July.
