Ep 104: A few weeks ago, we were talking with one of our listeners, and she shared something that struck us. After retiring from a long and successful career, she found herself feeling unfulfilled. She said, 'I spent years looking forward to retirement, but now that I’m here, I don’t know what to do with myself. I feel like I’ve lost my purpose.' It made us realize that many retirees, while they’ve planned carefully for their finances and even their social lives, often overlook the importance of continued personal growth. How do you find new challenges to take on when your career is behind you? How do you keep learning, growing, and staying curious when the structure of a job no longer defines your days?
Our goal today is to explore how embracing lifelong learning and new challenges can give you a renewed sense of purpose in retirement. Whether you're already in retirement or approaching it, this episode will provide inspiration and practical steps to help you continue growing and thriving in this next phase of life. So, if you're ready to make your retirement years as fulfilling as possible, stay with us for some valuable insights.
