Stop Drifting. Start Designing Your Next 30 Years.
from Best Beyond 50 with Ellie Hewitt · host Ellie Hewitt
Most people plan everything except the most important chapter of their lives.Key theme: Treating longevity as a design project — and the four questions that make it real. We plan our careers, our homes, our holidays. We plan other people's lives with extraordinary care. And then we arrive at fifty or sixty with thirty years ahead of us — and no plan at all. That gap between the life you're drifting into and the one you could be designing is what this episode is about. I introduce the concept of longevity as a design project — the idea that your second lifetime is not something that happens to you, but something you can actively shape. We look at why the 'decline' story most of us have absorbed about this life stage isn't coming from the science (it's coming from the culture). And I share four questions that cut through all the noise and point you directly toward what your second chapter is actually for. These four questions have unlocked something real in every woman I've worked with. By the end of this episode, you'll have a framework for beginning to answer them yourself. CTA: Download the free Design Your Next Chapter workbook at bestbeyond50.co.uk and work through the four questions today.
