123: Bringing joy to your retirement, with Hannah Thomson
Watch my conversation with Hannah on YouTube or listen on the podcast player below
In planning for retirement, we often have dreams about the lifestyle we want to have once retired. Unfortunately, as we get older, our health often starts to impact our ability to live the life we want to live.
But what if we could prevent or defer those age-related illnesses to extend the number of years lived in good health?
Hannah Thomson watched her gran deteriorate quickly after a dementia diagnosis and was struck by how little we do to try and encourage an active lifestyle for those in their early retirement years. Through her research, she found that money is often a barrier to people staying active and healthy as they age.
Her gran’s deterioration was a lightbulb moment and Hannah created The Joy Club, a membership site that offers discounts on a wide variety of activities, enabling retirees to have a more joyful and social retirement.
