“This point in your life of retirement was definitely about the end. It was like: I’m going to work so hard and then as soon as I can retire, I’m out of here, and then life starts. But what many people found was actually, sadly, it wasn’t the beginning of a new season of life, as you can now see that it is, but it was often the beginning of the decline into old age.”

— Nicola Mercer

“I would just kind of dread Monday morning and get up, go to work and just go through my day without really any type of introspection around it because I was focused on my patients. Everything was externally focused and just living for a Friday. And then the weekend went too fast.”

Today’s guest firmly believes that it’s never too late to make any change that you might want to feel healthier and live a life without limits. Gayla Beyer is a health and wellness coach who in her early sixties decided it was time to pivot from her long career in healthcare as a nurse practitioner so that she could feel more fulfilled and look forward to an exciting new chapter in her life.

Gayla shares so much about her journey through life getting to know who she is on the inside, and why this is something that she’s now helping other women to do so that they too can embrace all that the retirement season of life offers and know it’s never too late to build better health.

In this episode we explore:

  • The power of being self-aware.

  • Why taking time to understand what you need is so important to your wellbeing.

  • How normal it is to doubt your ability to change and how to not let this limiting belief hold you back.

  • The mini-retreats that Gayla has used throughout her life to nurture herself.

  • The different ways that you can begin to get clear on what it is you really need to feel your life is fulfilling you.

  • What’s driving the shift away from the typical approach and perception of retirement.

  • How valuable strong health is to open up limitless possibilities for living a full life.

  • Tips for creating a life that you love, at any stage of your life.
