Life is a journey. Retirement is a journey too. With older adults living longer than ever before, today’s retirement journey can last 10-30+ years. There are many twists and turns full of fun, joy, and sorrow during this second stage of life.
​
Learning how to navigate the second stage of life, takes self-awareness and planning for the unexpected challenges. Retirement is a time to rediscover who you are and create a lifestyle that brings you authenticity, independence, and contentment.
​
While rediscovering who we truly are can be scary, it is mostly empowering and joyful to live an authentic life. When you live according to your own values, unique interests, and abilities, you will live your life more content, purposeful, and fulfilled.
