Beyond The Now was created to explore what a modern retirement - and a life well lived - can truly look like. Through thoughtful conversations with residents, experts and creative thinkers, Ardency’s podcast goes beyond outdated ideas of retirement to reveal a chapter rich with purpose, connection and possibility.
Available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
In this episode, host Suzanne Pereira is joined by Kutira Bandte, resident at Kennedy Place and creator behind the Instagram account @superkombi, where she proudly describes herself as an Australian Age Disruptor.
With her bold fashion choices, vibrant energy, and refreshing outlook on ageing, Kutira is redefining what retirement can look like. In this uplifting and inspiring conversation, Suzanne and Kutira explore identity after work, the courage it takes to express yourself publicly later in life, and how creativity and self-expression can unlock confidence at any age. This episode is a powerful reminder that retirement is not about becoming smaller or quieter, it can be a time to rediscover who you are, pursue passions that have been waiting in the wings, and confidently take up space exactly as you are.
