In this episode, I'm joined by author, writing coach, and filmmaker Beth Barany for a conversation about something I hear from writers all the time:
"Is it too late for me?"
Beth didn't begin filmmaking until her fifties. Today she's producing a fantasy film, building a creative team, and pursuing a dream she'd put on the shelf for years.
We talk about what it actually feels like to become a beginner again, why so many artists convince themselves they've missed their chance, and how creativity often deepens with age.
We also dive into:
- Why "too late" is usually a story we tell ourselves
- Becoming a beginner without letting your ego get in the way
- Finding creative confidence after years (or decades) away
- How to keep creating while running a business and managing everyday life
- The grounding practices that help us come back to ourselves as artists
If you've ever wondered whether you've missed your opportunity to write the book, make the film, start the business, or pursue the creative life you really want, this episode is for you.
