Description

Retirement doesn't have to be a period of uncertainty or loss.

Imagine discovering a newfound freedom and an exciting array of possibilities as you step away from your career-driven identity. 

This episode I am joined by the insightful Jessica McGregor-Johnson as we promise to transform your understanding of this life transition. 

Together, we explore the emotional shifts and opportunities for reinvention and fulfilment that come with retirement. 

Jessica brings her wealth of experience from guiding transformative retreats to the conversation, addressing the importance of finding balance and joy in this new chapter of life.

Leaving behind a demanding job doesn't mean leaving purpose behind. Financial security can pave the way to a life driven by passion rather than necessity. 

We discuss how revisiting past interests can unlock creativity and joy, turning what was once "work" into play. Whether it's through meaningful work or exploring new creative outlets, retirement is your gateway to designing a life filled with intentional and passionate activities. 

We reflect on societal expectations and how they often confine individuals into predefined roles. Through self-discovery and a shift in mindset, retirement becomes an opportunity to pursue sidelined passions and explore new paths. With references to inspiring resources like TED talks and Bonnie Ware's book on regrets, we guide you in recognising your value and pursuing passions with newfound freedom
