Episode 96

So Long Till January (sort of)

Published on: 14th October, 2020

Beyond Retirement has had a few alterations over the course of seasons 1 and 2. Initially, the show was envisioned as a way to share my thoughts and discoveries as I move toward retirement because I haven't been able to find too much about retirement online (other than financial information.)

Then I took part in a fabulous program, the Podcast Profit Lab, designed to help you launch your podcast into the top charts AND start earning an income with it immediately. Through that program and the publicity generated around my show, I was able to get so many guests that I didn't have time to even THINK about my solo episodes, let alone try to document my journey toward retirement. So I began season 2...and it's been great!

Then I discovered that I was feeling a bit detached from my mission - I wasn't talking about my "journey to freedom" anymore and I missed it. So I started doing 2 episodes a week, one guest interview and one solo episode. That helped relieve the detachment, but it still felt like the show wasn't going down the right path anymore.

So I'm going to finish out the year with the guest interviews that are already recorded, but I'm going to hang off on the solo episodes until January 2021. At that point, I'm going to get back on track, documenting what I'm doing, where I'm heading and what this journey has in store for me.

I hope you'll stick around and take the journey with me!

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.
