Starting a New Career at 60 with Jackie Halligan

Can you start a new career at 50? What about starting a new
career at 60? Short answer: Yes. It’s never too late to start a
career you love! Jackie Halligan joins us in today’s episode to
chat about how she started a new career as a fitness professional
on her 60th birthday.


In Jackie’s former life, she was a school teacher for 30+ years.
During a turbulent time in her life, she decided to leave her
career to retire early. It was during her retirement that she
found a newly ignited love for fitness. Jackie joined her
teaching experience with her new hobby and became a fitness
instructor. But the story doesn’t stop there! Jackie also found
herself, like many others, pent-up during COVID, so she started
putting short fitness demos onto social media – and within 1
year, she has well over 130K followers on Instagram alone. Jackie
has become a fitness influencer!


Had someone told Jackie a year ago that she’d be an Instagram
star, she would have told them they were crazy. At 64 years old,
Jackie has overcome her fear of being on camera and has made hard
decision after hard decision to put herself out there and keep
learning. She has impacted so many lives and people around the
world love her and join her for her fitness classes.


How did Jackie become so successful, you might ask? She loves
what she does - she loves music, she loves fitness, and she loves
helping people.
