Joining Jo this week is Siobhan Daniels, who reacted to workplace bullying by donning a backpack and taking a grown up Gap year! This proved a good training ground for her unusual "retirement" - determined not to give in to the "beiging" of older women, Siobhan sold her flat and most of her possessions, bought a motorhome and hit the road... welcome to the Retirement Rebellion!
In her own words: "I retired 2yrs ago at 60yr after 30 years Presenting, Reporting and Producing in BBC Radio/Television.I am part of the Retirement Rebellion, travelling solo around GB in my motorhome. Ageing positively through adventures and challenging ageist stereotypes. I want to inspire young and old women to age positively. Advertisers and businesses need to reflect that we are not invisible and have strong voices. I’m writing a book: Ageless, Fearless women:You can do it too!"
You can follow Siobhan's adventures on her blog: www.shuvonshuvoff.blogspot.com and on Instagram
