EP 21 | From Adversity Comes Opportunity - Retirement Rebel, Siobhan Daniels (60+ Solo Van Life)
Description
This episode we have a very special conversation with Siobhan Daniels, fellow full-time solo van lifer in her 60s who took on early retirement, leaving a successful career in TV & Radio that had become toxic, to pursue a life of self-discovery, defiance and adventure.
She recently published a wonderful book titled "Retirement Rebel", in which amongst other things, she talks about the importance of positive ageing. And how out of adversity comes opportunity.
Talking Points
Her motivation for travel & van life, and the triggers.
How her strict upbringing shaped her
Travelling as a way of dealing with grief & loss.
Backing the world solo at 49.
She’s truly an inspiring person, and we absolutely loved our conversation with her. She has so much wisdom to share and we think this conversation has a lot of value for people, whatever your age!
