What if retirement wasn't about slowing down—but finally becoming the person you've always wanted to be?

This week on “Against the Norm” I sit down with adventurer, writer, and long-distance hiker Belinda Corker, whose life changed dramatically after one simple realization: despite a successful corporate career, something essential was missing.

Belinda shares how she traded comfort for challenge, rediscovered her adventurous spirit through hiking, and ultimately transformed not only her health but her entire outlook on life. From trekking across Greenland and Australia's Red Centre to embracing house-sitting as a gateway to global travel, she offers a compelling reminder that meaningful change rarely begins with certainty—it begins with curiosity.

We explore why midlife can feel so unsettling, how routine quietly steals our sense of possibility, why nature has such a profound effect on our well-being, and what it takes to reinvent yourself after decades of living according to everyone else's expectations.

Whether you're approaching retirement or already living it, this conversation is an invitation to stop asking, "Is it too late?" and start asking, "What's the adventure I've been postponing?"
