INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Have you ever said YES to something you wanted, then immediately started looking for a way out? Maybe it's a trip, a new group, a creative project, or a challenge that suddenly feels bigger than you're ready for.
I just signed up for Grandma's Marathon for June 2027 and the initial excitement came crashing down with a generous helping of "What was I thinking?"
But this isn't my first time making plans and then questioning my own judgment. In this episode, I'm sharing a story about a challenge I nearly backed out of, what I would have missed, and why I'm willing to keep challenging myself in midlife.
If you've been collecting reasons something is too much for you, this conversation might give you a reason to reconsider.

Your Host:
Kimberly Peek is a writer, podcaster, endurance athlete, and creator of the YES Life Project — a philosophy devoted to helping women rebuild, reinvent, and design lives that feel expansive, meaningful, and fully their own. After navigating major life plot twists including breast cancer, loss, heartbreak, and an empty nest, Kim began asking a simple question: what would happen if she started saying YES to herself?
Some happy accidents became an intentional way of living. The YES Life isn't about blowing up your life or chasing constant adventure — it's about choosing what expands you, protecting your time and energy, and creating a life you don't feel the need to escape from. Through honest storytelling and real-world lessons, Kim invites listeners to reconnect with joy, agency, and the belief that it's never too late to design a future you're excited to wake up to.
