Not Fading. Expanding. — Gail Rice on Refusing to Disappear After 70
Episode 269
Wednesday, 15 April, 2026
Scaring Yourself Alive: How to Re-Story Your Life at Any Age with Gail Rice What does it actually look like to choose expansion over disappearance — not just as an idea, but as a daily act of courage? This one is for the woman who has ever felt the pull to play it smaller, quieter, safer. The one who wonders if her best chapters are behind her. The one who's tired of waiting for permission. Spoiler: the permission slip is yours to write. Gail Rice is a psychologist, writer, and late bloomer who got her psychology degree at 50, built her own practice, and moved to Australia temporarily — then stayed for 40 years. When she turned 70, she felt something she wasn't expecting: an existential dread that she was fading away. Becoming invisible. Losing her voice. So she did something about it. Something unexpected. Something that didn't go the way she planned — and ended up changing everything anyway. In this conversation, we get into: — Why Gail is more afraid of not living than dying — The decision she made at 70 that woke her up (it's not what you think) — What she calls "re-storying" — and how to actually do it — Why the worst moments became the loudest wake-up calls — How regret and anger might be the most useful emotions you're not using — What it means to step onto the stage of your life without a script This one is for the woman who has ever felt the pull to play it smaller, quieter, safer. The one who wonders if her best chapters are behind her. The one who's tired of waiting for permission. Spoiler: the permission slip is yours to write. 🔗 Find Gail Rice on Substack, Instagram, and at gailricepsychologist.com Until next time — bloom like you mean it. 🌸
