Siobhan Daniels is an Author, Pro-age Campaigner and Retirement Rebel. At 60 she retired from the BBC after 30 years working as a presenter, reporter and producer. She then took a brave step and got rid of her home and her possessions and bought a motorhome. For nearly four years she has been travelling Great Britain and Ireland in her van, having lots of adventures and challenging ageism. She has written a book called Retirement Rebel to inspire women to have their adventures and age positively.
In this episode, Siobhan will explain why she wanted to become a pro-age campaigner and the retirement rebel. In her mid 50s she felt broken. She was overwhelmed and unhappy with life: two of her siblings had died from lung cancer, she had a hysterectomy because of precancerous cells and she was feeling marginalized and bullied at work. So she headed off in her motorhome to have adventures. Now at 64, she has found the women she was meant to be.
