NICE TO MEET YOU
My Journey
I’ve spent more than a decade helping people navigate midlife and modern retirement, exploring everything from money and health to travel, happiness and fulfilment. Along the way, I’ve written two bestselling books — How to Have an Epic Retirement (Hachette, 2023) and Prime Time (Hachette, 2025) — launched the Prime Time podcast, and built practical pre-retirement education programs for organisations delivering at scale.
In late 2025, I began writing for The Times and launched Epic Retirement the book in the UK, expanding my work across Australia, New Zealand and now Britain as the global Epic Retirement community continues to grow.
I write a weekly retirement column for major newspapers and regularly share insights on radio and in the media. Before this, I spent ten years as the founder and CEO of Starts at 60, an experience that shaped the way I communicate, teach and connect with people in the second half of life.
On a personal note, I’m a mother of three teens and young adults, and I’m living my own Prime Time years — learning, exploring and making the most of this next stage of life right alongside my community.

For a long time I've had a fascination with how the world is changing as we are living longer, more productive lives. And the more I dug in, the more I felt that there's just not enough high quality, well-researched, and well-created education to help guide people into modern midlife and the complex world of retirement.Â
And, with ten years behind me building a digital community, media and travel business I seemed to have the skills and knowledge to not only educate, but to communicate through a few different online and offline channels - building courses, books, podcasts, articles and newsletters and speaking to audiences. Hopefully, through my work I can make modern midlife and retirement a little easier to understand.
This stage of life is certainly more tricky to understand than ever. And so I get great fulfilment from guiding people through the:
-
complex financial systems;
-
their changing sense of purpose and meaning as families grow and work obligations shift;
-
their hunger to find adventure and experience life at a different pace
-
their health, knowing modern health, nutrition and wellbeing practises are changing to support longer lives.Â
I love the process of learning and teaching, listening and discussing. So, this seems like the perfect place to spend my midlife.Â
