Ep. 33: Do One Thing to Change Your life

Think you’re too old to change your life? Think again. When Jen Marples overheard a 60-year-old woman in a yoga studio say, “I’m just going to give up,” something in her snapped. She turned to the woman and said, “You can’t give up—you have so much life ahead of you.” That powerful moment reminded her—and now all of us—that it’s never too late to start over, dream bigger, and create the life you truly want. But first, you have to do one simple thing: decide.

Do This One Simple Thing to Change Your Life

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “Maybe it’s too late for me to change my life”?

You’re not alone.

In this week’s episode of Life is Now…Do It While You Can, Suzanne Oshima, Life Coach for Women in Midlife, sits down with Jen Marples, host of The Jen Marples Show and creator of the You’re Not Too F**ing Old* movement — a rallying cry reminding women everywhere that their best years are still ahead of them.

Jen shares the powerful story that changed everything for her.

One day, in a yoga studio bathroom, she overheard a woman say, “I’m just going to give up.”

Those words hit her like a lightning bolt. Jen couldn’t stay silent…she turned to the woman and said, “You can’t give up. You have so much life ahead of you.”

That moment sparked a fire in her to help women see that midlife isn’t the end…it’s the beginning of what’s next.

Together, Suzanne and Jen dive into the mindset shifts that can completely transform your life, starting with one simple step: Decide

Decide that you’re not too old.
Decide that you’re ready for more.
Decide that this next chapter will be your best one yet.

Decide to take the next step.

Because you’re never too old to reinvent yourself, chase your dreams, or start over…all you have to do is decide.

Key Takeaways

  • Change starts with one decision. You don’t need to know every step — just decide to begin.
  • You’re not too old. Midlife is your time to step into your power and create what’s next.
  • Fear is normal — do it anyway. Every woman feels it, but courage grows when you take action.
  • Surround yourself with the right people. Supportive women lift you higher and help you keep going.
