In this episode:

- Why your brain is wired to seek approval before making big changes

- The neuroscience of "permission psychology"

- Why the people who love you will resist your reinvention (and it's not personal)

- How to self-authorize without waiting for consensus

- The exact permission slip exercise that changed everything for me

Too Late, My Ass™ is the podcast for second-act reinvention. Hosted by Fay Chapple.

If you’re still waiting to be chosen, invited, validated, or tapped on the shoulder — this episode is for you.

Not because you’re insecure.

Not because you lack confidence.

But because at some point, waiting became a habit your nervous system learned was “safe.”

In this episode, we dismantle the myth that visibility comes after readiness — and explain why, in midlife, waiting quietly erases authority.

You’ll learn:

-Why the brain treats hesitation as a signal that your future is optional

-How identity and nervous system safety determine who gets seen — and who gets overlooked

-The difference between humility and self-editing

-Why clarity, not confidence, is the real authority signal

-How to stop auditioning and start occupying space without becoming aggressive or performative

This is not about being louder.

It’s about being clearer.

Midlife isn’t when you prove yourself.

It’s when you stop outsourcing permission.

If something in you knows you’re done waiting — press play.

Join us in The Rebellion Room if you done waiting.
