Turning Sixty: In Their Own Words
What does it really mean to turn sixty? The answer, of course, is different for everyone. That’s why we’ve created this space, to share stories from people who have crossed that threshold in all kinds of ways.
In these interviews, you’ll meet people from different walks of life, looking back at the paths they’ve travelled and sharing how they felt about reaching sixty. Some celebrated quietly, others threw parties. Some arrived at sixty full of plans, others with questions still unfolding. Each story is personal, a reflection on early lives and careers, the moment of turning sixty, and the choices being made now for the years ahead.
There’s no one way to do this decade. That’s part of what makes it so rich. Whether you’re approaching sixty, have already crossed it, or are simply curious, we hope these voices offer insight, encouragement, and the comforting reminder that whatever your story looks like, it matters.
If you’ve recently turned sixty, or are heading that way, and would like to share your story, we’d love to hear from you. Every experience adds something valuable to the conversation, and yours could inspire someone else just beginning this chapter.
As well as written interviews, we’ll be bringing you podcast-style interviews from time to time. See our newsletter for details of these.
