Angellica Bell to host podcast aimed at challenging retirement stereotypes and encouraging people to start planning

• No two retirements are the same and we all aspire to a retirement that’s healthy, happy, fulfilling and financially comfortable.
• Rewirement, a podcast from Legal & General, explores how we can do that and talks to inspiring people who are on their way to achieving it.

Angellica talks to two retired individuals doing incredible things per episode, such as Mick the coal miner turned ski instructor and Jacky, who went from working for an airline to obtaining a Masters in Forensic Psychology in her 50s and now flourishing as a county councillor.

Each episode looks at a different area of retirement, such as how to keep mentally and physically fit, relocating later in life and an LGBTQ+ retirement. Angellica’s guests talk about how they opened a new chapter on their lives, changed their mindsets on retirement, the happiness it has given them and why there’s no limitations on what you can do later in life. A career change doesn’t have to be something reserved for the under-25s, nor does retirement have to be about puzzle mags and cups of tea.

While the opportunities are endless, the podcast highlights the importance of planning. Top financial experts break down the retirement facts, looking at everything from how not to retire – opportunities in the job sector for older people – to how coronavirus has affected retirement, and the reasons that have led to men having almost double in their pensions pots than women. As a conversation that needs to be had well in advance of retiring, listeners will get take away tips on what we can all be doing to make sure we have a plan in place.
