Re-think Retirement is an inspirational podcast for anyone in ‘unretirement’. If you are thinking about retiring, recently retired – or wanting to change direction later in your retirement, this is for you. On each podcast a guest shares their insights about this stage of life – honestly talking about some of the challenges but also giving you a vast range of ideas as to what you can do. Maybe taking your business skills to help charities tackle big issues; starting an art gallery; growing flowers for the wholesales market; a Michelin-starred chef starting an upmarket food wagon; mentoring younger generations or starting a business. Some people want to play with their grandchildren, play golf or turn their garden into a haven. This podcast is for those who feel that may not be enough and have an unsettling feeling that they want more after working full time. On Re-think Retirement, you will meet others like you. The hosts are Victoria Tomlinson, chief executive of Next-Up, and Trevor Hatton, Career Counsellor. They take you on a journey with their guests, sharing their own experiences and insights in the process. The Re-think Retirement podcast will help listeners have a positive view of life beyond your current career. You will be inspired by some of the amazing ideas that are possible – and have ideas about how to do them for yourself. And hopefully the tips you hear will help you avoid some of the pitfalls others have made!

In this inspiring episode of the Rethink Retirement podcast, we sit down with Megan Rowland-Mitchell, a true testament to the idea that it's never too late to learn something new and reinvent yourself. Born on the Isle of Wight, Megan was eager to explore beyond her small island community. After training as a teacher in Exeter, she pursued a vibrant career in London, only to find her true passion teaching English abroad in the stunning Alps.
Megan's journey took an unexpected turn when her father's illness brought her back to the Isle of Wight. Balancing a part-time job with caring for her parents, she faced the difficult realities of life and loss. Her father’s passing left her with not just memories, but a box of broken jewellery—pieces that would spark her next great adventure.
Tune in to hear Megan's transformative story: how she turned a box of broken heirlooms into a thriving jewellery business, and the lessons she learned along the way. From classroom to craftsmanship, Megan's story is a powerful reminder that unretirement can be a time of renewal and new beginnings.
