While retirement plans cover the numbers, they miss the critical 80%: your purpose, growth, and fulfillment.
In this episode of Retirement Without Numbers™, host Carla Garcia interviews Dr. Bill Carroll, a retired chemist and entrepreneur. Dr. Carroll shares his personal journey of navigating retirement depression and finding new meaning beyond his 36-year career. He opens up about the challenges of transitioning out of a traditional job, battling feelings of shame, and eventually crafting a new path.
Discover practical tips for finding purpose and fulfillment in retirement, all without focusing on just the numbers.
Key Points:
- The Gap in Traditional Retirement Planning: Most planning only covers the financials, leaving retirees unprepared for the emotional and mental aspects of post-career life.
- Bill Carroll’s Story: From corporate success to retirement struggles, Bill shares how he overcame the identity crisis that comes with retirement and became a certified retirement coach to help others through the same transition.
- Retirement Wellness: Discover how “retirement wellness” is pioneering a new branch of financial wellness that focuses on purpose, well-being, and personal growth—redefining what it means to truly thrive after retirement.
Practical Takeaway:
- Bill’s journey and his "Skydiving into Retirement" framework, designed to help you transition into this new chapter with confidence, purpose, and joy.
