Description
I'm on a mission to change the conversation around ageing. Women's health – particularly as we age – has been underfunded and overlooked for far too long. And frankly, it's time we pushed back. Through this podcast, I want to share the knowledge and tools that can help you thrive in later life by taking action today. Because here's what I've learned: decline isn't inevitable. And when we understand what our bodies truly need, we really can age better. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Rethinking retirement: why work could be key to ageing well – with Lyndsey Simpson
2026/11/06
We’ve been sold the idea that retirement is the ultimate goal, but could stopping work abruptly leave us feeling bored, isolated and without purpose? Lyndsey Simpson, founder of 55/Redefined, joins Liz to explore why gradually cutting back on work while bringing more interests into our lives might be healthier for us.
They discuss why working longer doesn’t have to mean staying in the same job and why purpose, connection, mental stimulation and independence are key for ageing well.
Lyndsey also shares advice for designing a fulfilling next chapter, from retraining and volunteering to over-50s apprenticeships and dipping your toe back into the workplace.
In this episode:
Is retiring too soon bad for our health?The power of purpose for a positive and resilient outlookHow to plan a fulfilling life after retirementWays to find purpose and routine when you’re not working Are you really craving retirement or do you just need something to change?The advantages of an ageing workforce How entrepreneurs over 60 are more successful than under-30sAdvice for getting back into the workplace The industries crying out for female midlife talent Apprenticeships for the over-50sHow to rediscover your ‘what’ and ‘why’
