"Suddenly Single at Sixty": With Jo Peck
In this episode, I speak to Jo Peck, author of the candid memoir, 'Suddenly Single at Sixty'.
Not long after Jo's 60th birthday, her husband drops a bombshell—he’s leaving her for a (much) younger woman. Jo is shocked and heartbroken that the life she’d worked towards, has gone up in smoke.
In this interview, Jo details the journey of personal growth which led to her rebuilding her life, making it clear that life does NOT end at 60.

Customer Reviews
Sala
Great podcast, very informative topics . Keep up the good work Bec.
Too much fluff
The first couple of episodes were good. Now it is all waffle and no real education. Check out Retire Right podcast. Way better than this tripe.
Great Pidcast
This podcast is fantastic - lots of fun discussions, great advice and the host is amazing!
