    #403: The Lie We All Believe About Time

    FREE Relationship Toolkit: https://bit.ly/42pBf5m One of the most dangerous assumptions we make is believing we have more time than we actually do. More time to call a loved one. More time to repair a relationship. More time to pursue what matters most. In this episode, we share personal stories about loss, family, regret, and the lessons we've learned about living with greater intention. From the passing of loved ones to the changing seasons of life, this conversation explores why waiting for "someday" can cost us more than we realize. If this message resonates with you, take a moment to reflect on how you're spending your time and who matters most in your life.#retirement_transformed #retirementcouple #retirement BUY MARK'S BOOK! The Evolving Man: Life Virtues Men Don't Talk About   [Get the FREE Downsizing Guide] How to prepare to downsize your home https://learn.retirementtransformed.com/downsizing-guide-optin    USEFUL FINANCIAL TOOLS https://geni.us/new_retirement Use this link for a FREE 14 Day Trial!

    #401: After 60, I Finally Asked Myself THIS Question

    Download Our FREE 6 Steps To Kickstart Your Retirement Guide: https://bit.ly/3HFivoy Panda Planner: https://pandaplanner.com/ For decades, many women spend their lives caring for others. They build careers, raise children, support spouses, care for aging parents, and become the person everyone depends on. Then retirement arrives, and a surprising question begins to surface: What do I actually want? In this episode, Jody shares the powerful realization that changed the way she thinks about retirement, identity, freedom, and fulfillment after 60. We discuss caregiving, purpose, retirement drift, personal growth, and why this chapter of life may be the first one that truly belongs to you. If you've ever felt like you've spent more time taking care of everyone else than discovering yourself, this conversation is for you. #retirement_transformed #retirementcouple #retirement BUY MARK'S BOOK! The Evolving Man: Life Virtues Men Don't Talk About   [Get the FREE Downsizing Guide] How to prepare to downsize your home https://learn.retirementtransformed.com/downsizing-guide-optin    USEFUL FINANCIAL TOOLS https://geni.us/new_retirement Use this link for a FREE 14 Day Trial!

    #398: What I Know at 69 That I Didn’t at 49

    Download Our FREE 6 Steps To Kickstart Your Retirement Guide: https://bit.ly/3HFivoy Get our FREE Retirement Checklist: https://bit.ly/RTchecklist At 49, I thought I had life figured out. I believed the pressure of work, raising children, building a business, and managing relationships was the source of my stress. What I know now at 69 is that many of those pressures were actually giving me purpose, direction, and meaning. Retirement brought something I never expected: too much freedom, too much free time, and not enough clarity. In this episode, I share the biggest lessons I've learned over the last 20 years about purpose, retirement, aging, relationships, loss, health, and what truly matters in life. If you're approaching retirement or already retired, these insights may help you avoid years of drift and build a more meaningful next chapter. #retirement_transformed #retirementcouple #retirement BUY MARK'S BOOK! The Evolving Man: Life Virtues Men Don't Talk About   [Get the FREE Downsizing Guide] How to prepare to downsize your home https://learn.retirementtransformed.com/downsizing-guide-optin    USEFUL FINANCIAL TOOLS https://geni.us/new_retirement Use this link for a FREE 14 Day Trial!

    #397: If You’re Ambitious And Retired… This Is Dangerous

    Download our FREE Health & Wellness Checklist https://bit.ly/3uPXhkU When we retired, we thought we’d earned the quiet. No deadlines. No meetings. No pressure. But for ambitious people, that silence can become dangerous. The momentum that once drove you forward suddenly disappears. You stop feeling needed. The days lose structure. And without realizing it, your life can start to shrink. In this episode, we talk honestly about what happens to driven, high-achieving people in retirement — and how to rebuild purpose, momentum, and meaningful growth in what we now call the discovery years. If you’re ambitious but feel restless, lost, or emotionally unsettled in retirement, this conversation is for you.#retirement_transformed #retirementcouple #retirement BUY MARK'S BOOK! The Evolving Man: Life Virtues Men Don't Talk About   [Get the FREE Downsizing Guide] How to prepare to downsize your home https://learn.retirementtransformed.com/downsizing-guide-optin    USEFUL FINANCIAL TOOLS https://geni.us/new_retirement Use this link for a FREE 14 Day Trial!

    #396: Why Routine Saved Us After Losing Our Son

    Download Our FREE 6 Steps To Kickstart Your Retirement Guide: https://bit.ly/3HFivoy Losing our son changed everything. For 47 days, our normal life disappeared. Our routines, our habits, our structure — all of it was wiped out while we focused on loving and caring for him. And when we came home, we realized something surprising: the small daily routines we once took for granted were the very things that could help us begin to heal. In this episode, we share how rebuilding simple habits — walking, talking, journaling, lowering the bar, and creating small anchors — helped us find our way forward after loss. If you’re navigating grief, disruption, or a season that has knocked your life off rhythm, we hope this conversation helps.#retirement_transformed #retirementcouple #retirement BUY MARK'S BOOK! The Evolving Man: Life Virtues Men Don't Talk About   [Get the FREE Downsizing Guide] How to prepare to downsize your home https://learn.retirementtransformed.com/downsizing-guide-optin    USEFUL FINANCIAL TOOLS https://geni.us/new_retirement Use this link for a FREE 14 Day Trial!
