Wise Wisdom
Update- I’m 56 now and still listening- wow! Retired 2.5 years and enjoying every moment though it can be a challenge in a strange way.
I’m 53 and have been listening to this podcast about 3 years as I prepare for retirement. It is the one that I look forward to weekly. I even went back a binge listened to many of the episodes. It has been a reassuring refreshing comfort about many aspects of life and retirement. So unique among ALL the retirement podcasts- this is a gem. 😊 thanks so much and please keep posting!
