As a woman in my late 30s, I sometimes feel like I’m supposed to have it all figured out by now. Career, relationships, life plan—checked and color-coded.
But here’s the truth: I don’t. And that’s okay. Because recently, I stumbled across a Netflix gem that changed how I think about life, aging, and what it means to truly live.
Enter The Later Daters—a reality show about older people putting themselves out there and dating. But don’t let the premise fool you; this show is so much more than swiping right for seniors. The women on this show are absolutely incredible. They’re strong, confident, and unapologetically themselves. Each one has taken a completely different path in life, and yet, here they are—proving that being in your 60s or 70s doesn’t mean slowing down or playing small.
Instead, these women are showing up, taking chances, and fully embracing the now. And let me tell you, they are spicy, vibrant, and full of life in a way that makes you stop and think: “I want to be like that.”
If I have 20 or 30 years to get to where they are, I don’t want to waste a second of it. I don’t want to look back and realize I played it safe or lived on autopilot.
Watching these women reminded me that the choices we make now—the routines we create, the risks we take, the way we care for ourselves—are what set the foundation for the person we’ll become decades from now.
But here’s the kicker: That change doesn’t happen overnight. It starts small. It starts with now.
This is exactly why I’m so passionate about The Sunday Morning Project. It’s about reclaiming those sacred Sunday hours—not to recover from Saturday night (been there, done that), but to invest in you.
It’s a promise to yourself to make small, meaningful changes that add up over time.
Dedicating even just a couple of hours on a Sunday morning to improve yourself—whether that’s journaling, meal prepping, meditating, or diving into a good book—is a small price to pay to become the person you want to be. To show up for your future self and say, “We’re gonna be one of those spicy, full-of-life women too, just wait and see.”
So here’s my question: What’s one thing you can do this Sunday morning that your 60-year-old self will thank you for?
Let’s not wait for “someday.” Let’s start now.
