Retirement Unfiltered

Retirement Unfiltered

Retirement Unfiltered is the podcast that skips the sugarcoating and talks honestly about what life after work really looks like. Hosted by Nan Ives and Lisa Stornaielo, this show explores the gap between the dream of retirement and the reality of living it – the identity shifts, emotional surprises, and "now what?" moments no one warned you about. Each episode combines candid conversation, humor, research, and real-life stories to help listeners navigate retirement as a major life transition, not just a financial milestone. From retirement syndrome and loss of structure, to living with intention, adopting a growth mindset, and experimenting with what comes next, Retirement Unfiltered is about designing a meaningful next chapter – one that fits who you are now. This podcast is for people who are retired, approaching retirement, or simply wondering how to turn more free time into a life that feels purposeful, connected, and fulfilling. Because retirement isn't the end of your story. It's the start of your next great chapter.
