INSIDE THE MAGAZINE
A little look inside…
From useful tips and interesting reads to things worth discovering and a bit of fun — here’s a taste of what you’ll find in The Collection.
Use the arrows to have a browse.
THERE’S ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW
A new edition every month & more in-between
The Joyful Retirement isn’t something you read once a month and then forget about.
A new edition arrives each month, with fresh articles, ideas, recommendations and things to enjoy. And during the month, you’ll find Freshly Added pieces appearing too — perhaps a useful resource, something we’ve discovered or simply something worth sharing.
There’s no schedule to keep up with and nothing you need to do. Just pop in whenever you fancy and see what’s new.
FRESHLY ADDED
A new article
Something interesting to dip into.
A useful extra
A new printable, guide or resource.
A new discovery
Something we’ve found and think is worth sharing.
New things are added throughout the month.
AND THERE’S MORE
Your reading doesn’t stop with the magazine
As a Reader, you’ll also have complimentary access to the digital editions of my books — a growing collection created especially for women navigating life after work.
Some are thoughtful reads to settle down with when you have a little time to yourself. Others are more practical, with ideas, prompts and gentle encouragement to help you think about what you want from this stage of life. There are books about retirement, balance and everyday wellbeing, along with lighter reads simply designed to bring a smile.
You don’t need to choose one when you join. They’re all included, so you can browse the collection and download whatever takes your fancy — then come back for another whenever you’re ready.
And as new books are published, they’ll be added to the Reader collection too, so there will always be something else waiting to be discovered.
No extra charge. They’re simply part of being a Reader.
