Retirement shouldn’t be a season of anxiety. Quite the opposite. It can be liberating, a time to throw anxiety under the bus and spread your wings. You've earned it! Aging isn’t a reason to feel anxious, avoid doing what you’re good at or what you love…maybe just revise those activities a little to make them less intimidating and more about what makes you—and others—feel good.
In short, LET THAT SHIT GO, and live your best life!

Let’s face it. Your entire world changes when you retire…routine, perspective on discretionary time, priorities, spending, and lots of other things. In short, suddenly we’re awash with time we never had before. And along with these changes in structure come changes in habits. Perhaps you now have the time to add good habits that fell by the wayside while working. Or maybe you’ve let things slide…a little too much? In this episode, we dive into the insidious world of habits that can form during retirement—both good and bad—when the structured demands of the working world are lifted…and what you can do to curb bad habits, and maybe replace them with good ones.
