MEET STEVIE
Hello, I’m Stevie
I created The Joyful Retirement because I enjoy finding things out, making sense of them and passing on the bits I think other women might enjoy too.
Like you, I’m living life after work. There are things I love about it, things I’m still getting used to, and plenty about modern life that leaves me wondering why something supposedly simple requires an app, a password and a verification code.
The Collection brings together interesting reads, practical know-how, useful discoveries and a little humour. The Books offer a quieter space for reflection, ideas and encouragement for your own life after work.
I choose topics and write the material with women like us in mind — with plenty of interests, experience and opinions, and still curious about what’s next.
“Some things are useful. Some are interesting. And some things are just a bit of fun - because why not?”
