190: A Retirement Well Spent - Lessons from 4,000 Weeks with Oliver Burkeman

Episode 190

Tuesday, August 27, 2024 • Duration 36:07

I'm thrilled to have with us a guest whose work has profoundly shaped the way we think about time, productivity, and living a meaningful life. Oliver Burkeman is a renowned British journalist, author, and former columnist for The Guardian, best known for his groundbreaking book 4,000 Weeks, Time Management for Mortals.

I loved this book and am honoured that Oliver joined me to share his story and research, and to introduce his latest book, Meditations for Mortals - Four Weeks to Embrace Your Limitations and Make More Time for What Counts, which has sparked a global conversation about the finite nature of our lives and how we can make the most of our limited time, especially as we enter the later stages of life.

We chat about how life’s too short to wait for the “right” moment, especially for retirees and soon to be retirees, and Oliver urges us to live meaningfully now—not later. After all, time is finite.

189: Embrace Ageing with the Retirement Rebel

Episode 189

Tuesday, August 13, 2024 • Duration 26:55

Approaching retirement and frustrated with her job, Siobhan Daniels made a big decision: to start living life on her own terms. Rather than feeling broken, voiceless and hiding from life’s challenges, she took early retirement, swapped her possessions for a motorhome, and drove off to find them.

Since that day five years ago, Siobhan has published a book she called Retirement Rebel: One woman, one motorhome, one great big adventure - an honest and uplifting story of how one woman stepped off the merry-go-round of life. Through her podcast, public speaking and book Siobhan is keen to show older women they can have their adventures and age positively.

088 Becoming the ex-Fire Chief, with John Bonney

Episode 88

Tuesday, July 14, 2020 • Duration 39:14

I always love to hear your personal stories of transitioning into retirement, so I was delighted when listener Mary Dixon suggested her brother, John Bonney as a podcast guest.

In late May I spoke with John and asked him about his long career in the fire brigade, which culminated in him being chief of Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service for 11 years.

During this time, he also served as President of his professional body and in 2015 he was honoured with a CBE in recognition of his service to the public.

On leaving the fire service after 33 years, instead of heading into retirement, John embarked on new business challenges that fulfilled his ambition of combining work and travel.

John shares his story of how he transitioned successfully from a very high status role at work to being the ex-Fire Chief. He explains how having the right mindset allowed him to adapt and shares his tips on making a smooth transition to the next stage of life.

It’s a fascinating conversation, so why not listen here on episode 088 of The Retirement Café Podcast.

The Open University is 51 years old and continues to pursue its mission of being open to people, to places to methods and to ideas. It’s openness comes from enabling people to access study very flexibly, without any entry requirements.

I am really pleased to share with you this week my conversation with emotional intelligence coach and author, Anne Beaulieu.

Emotional intelligence is term you may be very familiar with, but for many of us, it’s a term that’s often misunderstood.

Anne explains how she discovered the importance of emotional intelligence in her life and how she now helps others to appreciate how high EQ can help them become more contented, fulfilled individuals.

She has worked a lot with women to remove the guilt and shame experienced as they build successful businesses, allowing them to build their business with passion, with focus and with intentionality.

Anne explains how we can help ourselves and our children or grandchildren to understand our relationship with money and how that influences our behaviours.
