What if it was about becoming more curious, more adventurous, and more unapologetically yourself? In this episode of Nomads 50+, Chris Kalaboukis sits down with Suzanne Noble—entrepreneur, traveler, startup mentor, digital nomad, and creator of the wildly popular Substack Suzanne’s story is anything but conventional. After a divorce, a bestselling book, years of exploration, the challenges of menopause, and multiple reinventions, she found herself asking a simple question: 👉 What if life after 60 is just another beginning? The result has been a fascinating second act that combines travel, entrepreneurship, writing, podcasting, and brutally honest conversations about sex, aging, and relationships. In this episode, we discuss:
What if getting older wasn’t about slowing down?
Why Suzanne believes curiosity is the most important trait you can have as you age
The realities of sex and intimacy after menopause
Why many women mistakenly assume their sex lives are “over”
The role of hormones, health, and intentionality in maintaining intimacy later in life
How Suzanne built a successful content platform around topics most people avoid discussing

The hidden realities behind building a Substack business
Why retirement may be one of the most outdated concepts in modern life
How travel can become a catalyst for reinvention
Building community as a solo traveler
Finding purpose after traditional careers end
Why many older adults underestimate the value of their experience
The conversation also explores Suzanne’s digital nomad journey. Frustrated with cold UK winters after COVID, she booked a one-way flight to Gran Canaria and discovered a thriving international community of remote workers, entrepreneurs, creatives, and travelers. What started as a temporary experiment evolved into years of seasonal migration and eventually expanded into Southeast Asia. Along the way, Suzanne found something many people spend decades searching for: 👉 A life built around curiosity instead of convention. One of the most powerful moments in the conversation comes when Suzanne challenges the traditional idea of retirement altogether. Instead of viewing later life as a period of withdrawal, she argues that this can be the most creative, exploratory, and entrepreneurial stage of life. As she puts it, the question isn’t: “What are you retiring from?” It’s: “What are you moving toward?” This is a funny, candid, thought-provoking conversation about aging differently, staying engaged, and refusing to accept society’s script for what life after 50 is supposed to look like. Whether you’re interested in travel, entrepreneurship, relationships, digital nomad life, or simply staying curious as you get older, this episode delivers plenty to think about. 💬 Subscribe for more conversations about reinvention, digital nomadism, entrepreneurship, and building an intentional life after 50.
