What would happen if you finally said yes to the thing you’ve been dreaming about for years?

In this episode, Yvonne talks with award-winning novelist and creativity coach Beth Barany, who is stepping into a bold new creative chapter. At 50+, Beth is becoming a first-time filmmaker as she turns her fantasy adventure novel, Henrietta the Dragon Slayer, into a proof-of-concept short film — the first step toward a potential TV series.

Beth shares the true behind-the-scenes story of a dream nearly two decades in the making:

✨ The moment she dared to say her dream out loud

✨ Why she decided not to wait for Hollywood

✨ How she built a filmmaking team without previous experience

✨ The power of curiosity to guide your next step

✨ What it feels like to finally see her character come to life on screen

✨ Why our most exciting reinventions often happen in midlife

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “too old” to start something new — this conversation is your reminder that you are right on time. You don’t need permission. You get to greenlight yourself.
