Retirement Without Numbers™
Retirement Wellness with Tech, Emotions, and Stories – No Calculators Imagine a retirement filled with joy, purpose, and endless possibilities—not just numbers on a spreadsheet. Welcome to Retirement Without Numbers™, a podcast redefining this life stage through emotional intelligence, real human stories, and innovative technology. This podcast was born from my two decades of experience as a financial advisor and my passion for showing that retirement is about more than financial calculations. Throughout my career, I witnessed too many unfulfilled retirements. Despite achieving financial security, countless individuals felt lost and uncertain, their focus on wealth accumulation overshadowing the cultivation of purpose and meaning. Advisor transitions disrupted relationships, erasing years of context and continuity when people needed it most. This realization reshaped my mission: to revolutionize how we approach and experience retirement through deeply personalized guidance. That's why I created MyPlanKeeper™, a pioneering retirement wellness platform powered by Grace™, our emotionally intelligent AI. Join me, Carla E. Garcia, as we explore strategies for a fulfilling retirement, share insights from industry experts, and bring new perspectives to your journey. Tune in to Retirement Without Numbers™ SHARE, LIKE, COMMENT and RATE, spread the joy. Visit us and Sign Up to meet Grace at https://www.myplankeeper.ai/grace Thank you, Carla
