Travel, Live, Give

Published on: 28th March, 2021

Nelia Hutt is  an employee in a medical office setting, a wife & a mother. She is also an author,  a podcast host, a philanthropist...and a force to be reckoned with! Despite her mild demeanor and what seems like an almost introverted personality, Nelia has strong convictions and huge dreams, and she's not letting anything stand in her way on the road to achieving them!

Time stamps:

4.09 - People say "Life is short", but most of us don't listen until something happens.

5:15 - A podcast gave here the realization that she was not the only person who felt "different"... 

We are generally not taught self-care as we grow. Women are brought up to care for others at their own expense...often resulting in burnout. Take care of yourself! Do not suppress your feelings! 

9:50 - Learn to walk toward things rather than walking around them. You'll find that less time is required to take care of situations if you're confronting them.

10:13 - Use the extra time to figure out your passion...what did you enjoy as a child?

11:14 - Ukulele Project to Guatemala

On her website, Nelia offers a free workbook called "Discover Your Passion" that will help you narrow down the activities that you love, reigniting in you what you forgot over the years. This is the first step to creating the life that you want.

The second part of the workbook is actually an e-book called "Pick A Passion & GO" and it's also available on her website. This workbook will assist you in turning your passion into a full-blown activity, taking you through the process of preparing and executing a mission trip of your own, should you so choose.

Nelia is also writing a book, due to come out on 4 May 2021. The book is a memoir about her relationship with her father, as well as lessons learned and ways to live the life you want.

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.
