Barbara is a financial educator and the author of her first book, Tipped – the life-changing guide to financial freedom for waitresses, bartenders, strippers and all other service industry professionals [https://amzn.to/3jnIOa5].

Barbara believes that positions in the service industry are perfectly designed for people who are in their retirement phase of life. These jobs offer flexible work hours, provide opportunities for individuals to get out and socialize, and can often provide a little extra income to pay for the extras when there's no pressure to cover all the bills with a full-time job.

Join host Jacquie Doucette as she shares her own journey and speaks with people who’ve reimagined life after work—some fully retired, some shifting gears, and all discovering new meaning in this next stage. From finding purpose to building community, embracing play, and navigating change, we’ll explore how to create a life that truly fits.

Because retirement isn’t the end—it’s a new beginning.

Let’s figure out what comes next, together.
