Welcome
Hi, I’m Bec Wilson. I write, speak, and teach about how to create a modern retirement that feels bigger, freer, and more fulfilling than the generations before us ever imagined.
I’m the bestselling author of How to Have an Epic Retirement and Prime Time: 27 Lessons for the New Midlife (both published in Australia and launching internationally soon). My work has reached hundreds of thousands of people through books, a weekly newspaper column, national radio, and my podcast Prime Time.
But more than anything, I’m known for building The Epic Retirement Club — one of the largest and most vibrant online retirement communities in the world, with more than 600,000 members. It’s a space where pre-retirees and retirees share their stories, ask questions, and find inspiration for making the most of the second half of life.
Why this newsletter?
This North America edition is a natural extension of that community. Twice a month, I share practical insights, inspiring stories, and expert ideas to help you plan, prepare, and live your own epic retirement.
You won’t find jargon or cookie-cutter advice here. Instead, you’ll get the same mix of honesty, optimism, and practicality that has made my books and community resonate with so many people.
A bit about me
I’ve spent years breaking down the myths around retirement and ageing, and giving people tools to approach this stage of life with confidence. I’m passionate about helping people:
Make smart decisions with money and retirement planning
Protect their health, energy, and purpose as they age
Design lifestyles filled with connection, adventure, and choice
And yes, I’m also a mum of three nearly grown kids, wrangler of two noisy shih-tzu poodles, and very much in my own Prime Time.
The big idea
Retirement isn’t about slowing down. It’s about creating a stage of life that’s truly yours. This newsletter and The Epic Retirement Club are here to help you do just that.
