    Career Reinvention, Retirement and Building a Richer Life with Hannah Martin and Jane Jackson

    Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know!Career Reinvention, Retirement and Building a Richer Life with Hannah MartinWhat does it really mean to prepare for retirement? For many women, especially mid-career professionals, retirement planning is often reduced to one question: “Will I have enough money?” Yet, as Hannah Martin explains in this thoughtful conversation, a fulfilling later life requires more than financial security. It also calls for purpose, community, health, independence and a clear sense of what comes next.In episode 282 of Your Career Podcast, Jane Jackson reconnects with Hannah Martin, founder of Talented Ladies Club and Rich Retiree, seven years after their last conversation. Hannah and I chatted in episodes 19 and 101. Hannah shares how her work supporting ambitious mothers returning to the workforce evolved into a new mission: helping women prepare for retirement in a way that is practical, empowering and deeply human.Jane and Hannah discuss the unique career and financial challenges many women face, including career breaks, lower pension or superannuation balances, caring responsibilities, and the implications of, unfortunately, a divorce. Confidence dips after time out of the workforce, and the long-term impact of the gender pay gap.They also explore why career reinvention does not stop at midlife. Whether you are facing redundancy, considering a career change, preparing for retirement, or wondering how to create more meaning in your next chapter, this conversation offers a reassuring reminder that it is never too late to make considered, confident choices.In this episode, we discuss:Why retirement planning must go beyond moneyThe four pillars of a rich retirement: finance, health, community and purposeHow career breaks can affect confidence, savings and long-term financial independenceWhy women often face different retirement challenges from menThe importance of community, contribution and meaningful activity as we ageHow mid-career professionals can begin planning their next chapter before they are forced toWhy career clarity matters at every stage of lifeHow cultural attitudes towards ageing can affect confidence, wellbeing and possibilityThe value of wisdom, lived experience and intergenerational connectionKey takeawayA rich retirement is not only about what you have saved. It is also about the life you are building.For mid-career professionals, this episode is a timely reminder to pause, reflect and ask: “What do I want the next chapter of my life and career to feel like?” Whether you are navigating redundancy, exploring a career change, rebuilding confidence, or preparing for a new stage of life, clarity is the first step towards making wise and grounded decisions.Resource mentioned:YouTube video when Jane visited Hannah in Worthing, UK - showing how genuine networking turns into genuine connections, taking the online connection offline to meet in person.

  • Give to Gain for Career and Business Growth

    Give to Gain for Career and Business Growth
    Mar 30 2026

    Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know!

    Give to Gain: How Generosity Builds Careers, Confidence and Meaningful Success

    What happens when generous people come together to talk about career growth, visibility, networking, communication and sharing expertise?

    In this special episode, I bring together four remarkable women from across Australia, New Zealand and the United States for a thoughtful conversation on one powerful theme: Give to Gain.

    We explore how generosity can shape a career, grow a business and help you build a reputation that feels both meaningful and sustainable.

    In this episode you’ll discover:

    • Why generosity is often the starting point for unexpected career opportunities
    • How giving without agenda can build trust, credibility and lasting professional relationships
    • The importance of career clarity before you update your resume, LinkedIn profile or start applying for roles
    • Why your LinkedIn presence matters more than ever in an AI-shaped world
    • How networking works best when it is rooted in care, consistency and long-term connection
    • Why strong communication is not about saying more, but about saying what matters with intention
    • How your existing knowledge, stories and experience may already hold the foundation for a book

    Featuring insights from:

    Jane Jackson - on Career Success and Job Search

    Lynnaire Johnston - on LinkedIn visibility

    Sigrid de Kaste - on Network as a long game

    Gina Balarin - on communicating with intention

    Gillian Whitney - on overcoming self-doubt to write your book

    A question we also tackle

    One of the most thoughtful moments in the discussion came from a question many generous people wrestle with:

    How do you continue to give freely without overextending yourself?

    We explore the balance between generosity and self-respect, and why healthy giving includes boundaries, discernment and care for your own wellbeing too.

  • Career Clarity for Mid-Career Professionals

    Career Clarity for Mid-Career Professionals
    Jan 25 2026

    Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know!

    What if the clarity you've been searching for won't come from working harder or pushing through the fog?

    In episode 280 of YOUR CAREER PODCAST, I talk about finding career clarity when everything feels uncertain.

    Whether you're feeling stuck, wondering if there's something more fulfilling out there, or trying to figure out your next move, this conversation is for you.

    I'm sharing why thoughtful self reflection matters more than rushing into action, and introducing my free workbook "Prepare for the Year Ahead" to help you gain the clarity and career confidence you need.


    Key Takeaways

    Clarity doesn't come from rushing - When navigating career change, the instinct is to move faster. But like driving in fog, adding speed without visibility creates problems. Creating space for clear thinking moves you forward.

    Reflection reveals your resilience - Looking back isn't about dwelling on the past. It's understanding the map you've created through your experiences, recognising your growth, and making informed decisions about sustainable paths forward.

    There's no "right time" for career reflection - Clarity doesn't follow a calendar. Whether facing redundancy, organisational change, mid-year scattered energy, or dissatisfaction, reflection responds to your attention whenever you give it.

    Reflection is an act of self-respect - Taking time to review your energy, decisions, work, and values isn't wasted time. It's choosing to lead your career rather than react to it.


    Resources

    Download the free workbook: Prepare for the Year Ahead - Gain structure and freedom to reflect on your career anytime. Notice patterns, reconnect with priorities, and gain clarity to move forward with confidence.
