What happens when you stop asking “Can I?” and start asking “What if I did?”
In this conversation, Debbi DiMaggio shares the story behind running the LA Marathon just before turning 60—but more importantly, what that experience revealed about mindset, transitions, and what’s still possible at this stage of life.
In this episode:
- Why focusing on “the next step” changes everything
- What to do when you feel stuck, lost, or unsure what comes next
- The reality of mindset vs real-life limitations
- How to reconnect with yourself after years of caring for others
- Why perfection keeps us stuck—and how to let it go
- Where to find support when you feel like you’re doing it alone
Sometimes it’s not about doing something extraordinary—it’s about being willing to take the next step, wherever you are.

I’ve probably done most of the things you expect a woman my age to have done: married and divorced; three children; variety of jobs over the years including a couple of home-based businesses and, finally, a pretty good career; gave up that career (and home and life) to move and take care of a dementing mother; adult daughter moved back home with a baby; financial struggles; sucker-punched by the post-2007 economy. You tell a similar story.
My podcast is for Boomer Women. A variety of subjects, a variety of viewpoints... and open to suggestions if I'm not covering a topic you want to hear about.
