Podcasts about late bloomers

Yvonne Marchese is the lovely and effervescent host of Late Bloomer Living a weekly podcast devoted to redefining what's possible in midlife and beyond. She's a self-described age agitator, play instigator and believer in do-overs on a journey of discovery around that aforementioned play -- which brought her, as it can, to curiosity.

In this episode of The Body Grievers® Club, Brianna interviews TikTok creator and author Allora Dannon, who describes herself as a plus-size "accidental late bloomer spokesperson." Allora explains how she reframed "late bloomer" to mean not dating or experiencing physical intimacy until her thirties, and she shares how growing up as the oldest of ten in a supportive religious family still left her feeling embarrassed, isolated, and "left behind" as her sisters married while she received little romantic attention. Together, Bri and Allora discuss the cultural whiplash around sex and inexperience, the impact of fatphobia on dating, the desire to be wanted without tying worth to men's attraction, and how platitudes about dating can be more harmful than validation.    TIMESTAMPS: 01:27 Meet the Guest: 'Accidental Late Bloomer' Allora Dannon 04:13 Her Background: Big Family, Faith, and Feeling 'Too Much' 10:25 Wanting to Be Desired Isn't a Moral Failing 13:16 Modern Dating Is Brutal: Apps, Anxiety, and Outdated Advice 21:12 Season of Bravery: Dating Apps, Rules, and Asking People Out 33:13 First Relationship After Late Blooming: Beautiful Firsts & Red Flags 36:14 A 'Season of Bravery': Dating Apps, One-Month Rule & Meeting Her Fiancé 40:31 Do It Scared, Not Traumatized: Nervous System, Anxiety Meds & Expanding Attraction 46:26 Intimacy as Healing: Sleeping Naked, Loving Your Shape & Protecting Your Progress 51:16 Ode to the Apron Belly: Body Dysmorphia, Moving Goalposts & Finding Neutrality 56:47 Closing Advice & Community: The Memoir Plug, Where to Start Healing, and Where to Find Her EPISODE RESOURCES: "Who Is She?

Text The Late Bloomer Actor a Question or Comment.In this episode, we explore the unique dynamics of starting young versus later in life as an actor. With insights from students at Flinders University, namely return guest Connor Clark (my son) and fellow class-mates Sienna Druce and Jakub Hapugoda, the conversation reveals that regardless of age, the core fears, joys, and learning curves are remarkably similar. Understanding these parallels can empower both early starters and late bloomers to embrace their distinct journeys with confidence.This episode underscores that the secret isn't when you start, but how you approach the craft—whether with curiosity, resilience, or joy. Remember, in acting as in life, there truly is no right age—only the courage to begin. Keep blooming, wherever you are on your journey. Key topics:The importance of experimentation and safe failure early in the acting careerHow experience, perspective, and life lessons shape acting maturityThe role of discipline, resilience, and fun in training and professional workThe benefits and challenges of starting young, including unlearning habitsHow older actors sometimes overthink, while younger actors retain playfulnessPractical advice for managing expectations, building a toolbox, and continuous learningThe mindset shifts necessary to thrive at any stage of acting Support the showPlease consider supporting the show by becoming a paid subscriber (you can cancel at any time) by clicking the 'Support' button in your player and you will have the opportunity to be a part of the live recordings prior to release.And please Rate the show on IMDB.This episode was recorded on RiversideFM - click the link to join and record.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

Rich Karlgaard, author of Late Bloomers, dismantles the toxic narrative that success must come early. Drawing from his father's reinvention in his 30s and his own struggles after college, he explains why our obsession with early achievement is detrimental to people who develop at different paces. Karlgaard analyzes the college admissions scandal as a symptom of parental pressure, explores how comparison culture on platforms like Medium fuels inadequacy, and offers a research-backed case for why patience and diverse developmental timelines produce more fulfilled, successful individuals. He argues that being fired, struggling, and blooming late often leads to greater work than following the traditional fast-track path. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Marsha's Projects Socks: Using Schoppel-Wool Das Paar colorway Pigment Nebel plus Cloudborn in teal. Finished first sock Oaxaca Journey Bag: by Araceli Gonzalez. Using Prado de Lana. Late Bloomer by Heidi Kirrmaier using Hudson Valley Yarn Sheridan Flats Spinning: Purchased 24 oz of 80/15/6 wool/mohair/silk roving in the colorway Kaleidoscope. The owner said to spin at a worsted weight for best results. Mill is Olympic Yarn & Fiber located in Cosmopolis, WA. Plied three singles but somehow I over plied it.   Rag Rugs: Wound warp for four rag rugs and started warping loom. Warp is 4" and 6" stripes in royal blue, green, and orange. Finished first rug. Decided to plan for the next three rugs so sketched some designs. Weaving Studio: It's a work in progress.  Garden Redesign: I've created a project page. Kelly's Projects Chenille Rugs Part 2 Started the weaving of the rug, but I'm only about 5 inches in. I got distracted by school starting, the need for a take away knitting project, and some hats. Continued spinning the Romney x Rambouillet that came from the NoCKRs destash. It's a 3-ply, ply-as-I-go project. I'm doing the last topping up of bobbins before I finish the plying.  Need to frog and restart the Seatoller Socks by Louise Tillbrook. It's a twisted rib and cabled sock pattern so it is coming out a little tighter than my usual sock gauge.  Norwegian red resistance hat from WWII. I'm using Royal Bee DK weight. Made one according to the pattern  and it's a bit small. Made the second with additional stitches cast on and longer ribbing section. That worked well. Have a third on the needles that is between the two sizes I've already made.

Mike Schrand has spent more than 30 years at St. Louis Public Radio — and his story is a masterclass in curiosity, creativity, and community. In this episode of Mostly Superheroes, Mike joins Logan Janis for a wide-ranging conversation that moves from overnight jazz shifts and Morning Edition to songwriting, cult movies, and why St. Louis is “the world's largest small town.” We talk about the evolution of public radio, nonprofit journalism, and why live, local storytelling still matters in an on-demand world. Mike also opens up about his life as a musician — including his solo albums Late Bloomer and Things Have Changed — plus the role art plays in identity, family, and aging creatively. Along the way, we dig into movie history filmed right here in St. Louis (Escape from New York), James Gunn stories, NPR programming, and what it really means to serve a community through sound.

In this episode of Talk of Fame, Kylie Montigney chats with Jeannine Luby! Jeannine is a professional speaker, workshop leader, educator, comedian, and podcaster who proves it's never too late to find—and use—your voice. Growing up in a middle-class, Catholic household, Jeannine learned early on how to balance speaking up at home while striving to make the nuns proud in public. A self-proclaimed late bloomer, she didn't fully embrace her creative side until her 20s, when she discovered improv and stand-up comedy. That turning point led her to leave a corporate marketing communications career in the healthcare field over a decade ago and pursue a dynamic gig-based life. Today, Jeannine runs her business Laugh to Live!, teaches mass communication, performs comedy at wineries, leads educational workshops, creates marketing content for clients, crafts wine cork earrings, and hosts the podcast Uncorked with Funny Wine Girl, where she highlights women doing kick-ass things.Follow Me:Instagram:@Officialkyliemontigney@TalkoffamepodFacebook:OfficialkyliemontigneyTalkoffameTwitter:@Kyliemontigney4About Me:Hi, I'm Kylie! I'm passionate about sports, spending time with family, traveling, and connecting with people who inspire me. I love listening to people's stories and sharing their journeys with the world!

If you're new to dating or want to approach it with a beginner's mind, this episode is a must-listen This week, a listener named Butterfly shares: "I am now in my late twenties and struggling to find a mate. I had strict parents and wasn't allowed to date in high school or my early twenties. I never tried with relationships, and now that I'm getting older, I'm in a place where I'd like a relationship, but I can never find the first person. I feel like the men I've tried to date have taken advantage of my naivety and wasted my time with no real intentions. I don't know how to build a genuine bond with someone and don't know what to look for and what to avoid. Can you help?" What You'll Hear In This Episode: Why dating is a skill you build through practice, not something you're supposed to magically know The real reason people seem to "waste your time" Green flags to look for that signal someone is worthy of your trust and attentionThe "name and narrate" strategy How to approach dating with a beginner's mind at any stage of life Resources and Links:  Unlock the secret to successful dating with our Date Tracker at damonahoffman.com/datetracker.

Merrill recalls his sporty youth in which he lost at a record speed during a wrestling match. Should President Trump intervene to help the citizens of Iran? What happens if the US faces off against Denmark? Trump says we must have control of Greenland for national security. When it comes to purchasing a home in LA, nobody can afford a darn thing! Even downsizing doesn’t seem worth it as interest rates remain on the higher end. Merrill longs for the days of the recession, with high unemployment and economic disaster you could take advantage of for housing gains. Swappers are trading in their low interest mortgages for high interest rates. It may sound stupid, but it’s a monetary strategy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I am out today but I am resurfacing a couple of episodes that have been brought up recently on the live show.  The first is, my thoughts and feelings about the "Are We Dating the Same Guy?" groups, and the second is a nod to all of the late bloomers out there.

[REBROADCAST FROM March 14, 2025] Social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney rose to fame through her series documenting her gender transition on TikTok. But along with love from many in the LGBTQIA+ community, the videos attracted hate and transphobia. Mulvaney found herself embroiled in a national controversy after her turn as a spokesperson for Bud Light led some to declare a boycott of Bud Light's products. Now, Mulvaney is chronicling her journey into womanhood and national fame in her new memoir, Paper Doll: Notes from a Late Bloomer.

Dr. Thema has an inspiring conversation with her father Bishop Bryant about his journey moving from being a late bloomer as a youth to a champion for spiritual and political liberation. He shares what helped him to launch as someone who struggled with academics and behavior as a result of fear. He shares his success story and his wisdom for parents who are raising children who have not yet flourished. Bishop John Richard Bryant is the son of the late Bishop Harrison James Bryant and Edith Holland Bryant.

In this replay episode, I'm sitting down with certified coach and first-gen eldest daughter Nikkei Lamodi, to talk about what it really looks like to be an eldest daughter or late bloomer living with chronic illness and running a business.We get into the invisible pressure of being the “strong one,” why eldest daughters are so prone to people-pleasing, perfectionism, and over-responsibility, and how all of that bleeds into your business, your boundaries, and your body.Nikkei shares her story of caregiving, grief, chronic illness diagnosis, and the moment she realized she was sacrificing her time, money, and desires for everyone else. From there, she walks us through her four “eldest daughter skills” that help you protect your capacity instead of burning it out:Direct communication with graceBoundary care (boundaries that are for you, not rules for other people)Talking to yourself like a best friendAsking “What else is true? What else is possible?”If you're an eldest daughter or late bloomer navigating chronic illness, family expectations, and the pressure to hold everyone together while growing a business… this conversation will make you feel so seen.

In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) I'm concerned about my daughter. She's a virgin at 24. Once upon a time, a parent's fear was teenage pregnancy. I'm worried because she's not having sex at all. She's beautiful, bright, funny, and has everything going for her, but has never had a boyfriend. I couldn't wait to have sex. What's going on, and should I talk about it with her?2) My boyfriend and I love sex toys. We have lots of toys for me, but nothing for him. He's not into anal play. Other than a penis ring, is there anything else I could treat him to?3) I have a job that requires me to work in a different country quite frequently, often for three or four months at a time. Can you give some practical tips for intimate video calls? My wife is confused by what we'd do, and I don't want it to feel awkward. Should we ‘finish' on camera, or would that be too much?To have Tracey and Kelsey discuss YOUR secret sex question, enter it anonymously at https://bit.ly/3C4AelUWant a copy of Tracey's book, Great Sex Starts at 50?

Oh. Full credit goes to children's book creator Ursula Murray Husted for today's find. You know, we've done a lot of feast-adjacent picture books in conjunction with Thanksgiving in the past (Green Eggs with Ham, for example). But today's book is a bit of an outlier in that respect. Aside from Cranberry Thanksgiving, I can't think of the last time we did a legitimately Thanksgiving-themed picture book. Today we do our first Crescent Dragonwagon title (complete with a marvelous explanation of her name), our second Aruego/Dewey title (after Leo the Late Bloomer) and our latest abecedarian book. Will it pass muster? Only time will tell.

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch is joined by Tim Schlappich, a Pennsylvania native and member of the Final Stand crew who found his passion for hunting later in life. Tim shares his journey from being an avid angler and traveler in the military to diving headfirst into the world of whitetails, first in Nebraska's river bottoms and now across the big woods and marshes of the East Coast. Through trial, patience, and curiosity, he's learned to balance the challenges of new terrain, the lure of technology, and the importance of keeping the adventure alive.Throughout their conversation, Mitch and Tim reflect on the tension between trophy hunting and personal fulfillment—how the fun, the people, and the places matter more than antlers on the wall.
