Um, hello, I'm Siobhan Daniels, and this is retirement rebel life after 60. This isn't just a podcast. It's a journey, a rebellion, and a promise. And I'm here to share all of that with you. Let's start with the raw truth. There was a time when I felt at rock bottom. I was in my late 50s when I lost two of my siblings. At 53 to can answer, my daughter had left home after years of me being a single mother.
Siobhan Daniels [:I was struggling with the menopause, and having spent a lifetime in journalism chasing stories, deadlines and success, I was feeling underappreciated, isolated, and, frankly, a bit lost. It was like standing at a crossroads, with the traditional path of retirement looming ahead, a path that felt more like a resignation than a liberation. But something inside me awakened. Call it the spirit of adventure. A refusal to accept that this was all that life had to offer me post 60. I wasn't ready to fade quietly into the background. No, I was ready to make a statement, to live boldly. So I did something some might call crazy.
Siobhan Daniels [:I gave up my home, packed my existence into a motorhome, and set off on an adventure to rediscover life, joy, and myself. This podcast, retirement rebel life after 60, is born from that spirit of defiance and discovery. It's here to challenge every stereotype about ageing and to redefine what life can be after 60. It's a call to arms for anyone who feels that society's written their story for them. A story that says, you're too old, too late, too whatever. Here we tear up that script. What can you expect from the podcast? Real stories like mine, full of ups and downs, laughter and tears, honest conversations about the good, the bad, and the transformative aspects of ageing. Tips on how to reinvent yourself, find new passions, and embrace every moment of this incredible stage of life.
Siobhan Daniels [:I want to know what their passions are. Have they ever been guilty of not doing things because of self limiting beliefs? Like I'm not brave enough to try that? I want to know how they've overcome struggles in their lives to get to a good place. What are the challenges we face as we reach our solutions? Can ageist attitudes ever be changed to enable us to age more positively? And being a rebel myself, I want to know, when was the last time that they felt rebellious? Who is this podcast for? Well, it's for you. If you've ever felt undervalued because of your age, it's for you. If you're seeking more from your retirement years than just a quiet existence. It's for anyone who believes like I do, that the best is yet to come. You can find us on all major podcast platforms. Follow, listen and join our community.
