Re-think Retirement is an inspirational podcast for anyone in ‘unretirement’. If you are thinking about retiring, recently retired – or wanting to change direction later in your retirement, this is for you.

Maybe taking your business skills to help charities tackle big issues; starting an art gallery; growing flowers for the wholesales market; a Michelin-starred chef starting an upmarket food wagon; mentoring younger generations or starting a business.
Some people want to play with their grandchildren, play golf or turn their garden into a haven. This podcast is for those who feel that may not be enough and have an unsettling feeling that they want more after working full time. On Re-think Retirement, you will meet others like you.

Annie Stirk: Embracing a new chapter in her 70s as a model
After a diverse career encompassing teaching, lecturing, demonstrations, and television work, 74-year-old Annie Stirk has embarked on an exciting new journey as a model. For 35 years, Annie worked as a food stylist for television programs, spending five years each on "This Morning" and "Open House." She later established her own PR agency, Absolutely Food, where she delighted in telling incredible stories for her clients. While her husband retired, Annie's passion for work persisted, leading her to edit for Yorkshire Life and launch the "Time of Your Life" initiative.
One morning, a Facebook advert seeking models caught her eye. Responding to it led to numerous photo shoots, propelling her into the modeling world. Annie’s new career quickly gained momentum, landing her appearances on the BBC series "Take a Hike" and on billboards nationwide for meatless sausages. She also organized events like Silver and Sassie at Yorkshire Fashion Week and "Find Your Midlife Magic," empowering women to achieve great things. Embracing the freelance lifestyle, Annie's philosophy is simple: opportunities arise when you meet new people and say yes to new experiences.
