Getting Your To-Do List Done - with Margaret Agard

Published on: 9th October, 2022

Margaret Agard is a former executive in the high tech industry (one of the few women), the award-winning author of the In His Footsteps memoirs, a Christian mystic and reiki healer. She is also a wife and the mother of eight grown children.

When Margaret gave her To-Do list to God, her whole life changed. She began doing the activities that popped into her head, and NOT doing things "just to get it off the list." As time went on, she began to see the changes in her life and in the lives of people around her.

Margaret has some thoughts on our themes for this season:

  • Planning: As my mother once said when she was 60, I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Following this simple, but not easy, way of giving each day over to God/Inner Voice/Spirit leads to finding what you want to be for those who don't really know.
  • Confidence: This path of turning each day over to the divine brings confidence as each day things just seem to work out.
  • Generosity: Every day I am led to help at least one person.

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.
