Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, "Did I miss my chance?" That nagging question about whether it's too late to pursue dreams, learn new skills, or reinvent yourself is exactly what Jesse and DeeDee tackle in this deeply personal episode.

Jesse opens up about wanting to learn sewing at 37, pursue drag performance, and create his own clothing—all while battling the voice in his head saying, "You're too old" and "It's too late." This vulnerability sparks a rich conversation about why we place artificial timelines on our talents and passions. The hosts explore how financial constraints, body image issues, and long-standing trauma from childhood criticism can build invisible walls between us and the lives we want to live.

"I'm tired of living in the what-ifs," Jesse confesses, touching on a sentiment that resonates across generations. Whether it's the fear of looking foolish as a beginner or worrying about health limitations, these concerns keep countless people from trying. DeeDee shares her journey with body acceptance, revealing how regaining confidence happens when you start honoring your body rather than criticizing it.

The conversation takes a fascinating spiritual turn when discussing how the universe seems to push us in directions we resist. Is following your destined path more important than exercising free will? As Jesse colorfully puts it, sometimes you need the universe to "hop off" and let you chart your course. This tension between destiny and choice speaks to anyone who's felt torn between what they feel they "should" do and what their heart truly desires.

What dreams have you put on the back burner? What would you pursue if you believed it wasn't too late? Listen to this episode, then take that first step toward becoming who you've always wanted to be—because it's never too late to start.
