What Happens Next

Health EN ↓ 83 episodes

Many of us are living longer than ever before. For some of us this has changed the way we look at our futures. For a few of us, the concept of a conventional 'retirement' is extinct. Instead we want to define for ourselves 'what happens next' in our lives. We believe that this means looking at the components which make a life well lived, and making improvements in these areas of our lives. This podcast is designed to support you on this journey, regardless of what you're aiming for. What Happens Next is up to you. However we'd love to help you along the way.
