Beyond Retirement Has Arrived!

Published on: 15th May, 2022

This is it! It's finally time to walk the talk!

My "day-job" is finished and I'm ready to head out on the road Beyond Retirement. Time for the journey to commence!

I hope you're going to join me...

Going forward, the main plan for my podcast is to track down people who have made new lives for themselves after hanging up the keys to whatever regular J-O-B they might have held in the past. I'm not looking for people who want to talk about how to make it big in the business world, or how to run their own company, necesssarily. I'm looking for people who are out there living life the best way they can - the ones who understand that yesterday is history and tomorrow may never come, so today is a gift (remember, that’s why it’s called the PRESENT) and they are making the most of each day they've got. Maybe they left their job because they had to, or maybe they wanted to, but probably they haven't really stopped working. They’ve just moved on to other activities.

I'll also continue with my little musings in between my guests... I thought it might be harder to find guests, now that I'm switching the focus a bit but so far there’s no shortage. We'll see how it goes. I'm planning to do some travelling, too, some house and pet sitting, and hopefully I'll meet a lot of interesting people along the way.

But... here we go! It's time to see if I can live up to my words.

About the Podcast

Beyond Retirement
What really happens after retirement?

If you’re approaching retirement—or already there—and wondering what now?, you’re not alone. The world is full of financial advice for retirement, but there’s far less about how to actually live a fulfilling life once the 9-to-5 ends.

Beyond Retirement is the podcast that explores what comes after the career chapter. Whether your retirement was planned or unexpected, joyful or jarring, you’ll find real stories, honest conversations, and practical inspiration here.

Join host Jacquie Doucette as she shares her own journey and speaks with people who’ve reimagined life after work—some fully retired, some shifting gears, and all discovering new meaning in this next stage. From finding purpose to building community, embracing play, and navigating change, we’ll explore how to create a life that truly fits.

Because retirement isn’t the end—it’s a new beginning.

Let’s figure out what comes next, together.
