Episodes
Are You Fit Enough for the Retirement You’re Planning? – Dr. Gregory Charlop
Being financially prepared for retirement doesn’t necessarily mean you’re ready for retirement. Dr. Gregory Charlop argues that a complete retirement plan should address another set of assets: the health and lifestyle side of retirement planning, and your ability to remain engaged with life with vitality.
In this conversation, we explore the connection between longevity and retirement
When Your Time Becomes More Valuable than More Money – Daniel Goldie
Retirement planning usually focuses on one big question: Do you have enough to retire? Daniel Goldie knows that’s not the whole story.
A former professional tennis player who transitioned into another successful career as a financial advisor in 1991, Goldie knows something about leaving one identity behind and building another. In his new book, The Retirement Answer: The Six Key Decisions Ev

Spend More, Worry Less: The Forever Paycheck – Jean Chatzky
For decades, the message is clear: save, invest, and build your retirement nest egg. Then retirement arrives, and suddenly you are expected to reverse course. For many people, watching the balance decline feels wrong, dangerous, or even irresponsible.
Jean Chatzky believes the solution is both financial and behavioral. In this conversation, she discusses her new book The Forever Paycheck: The New
Can You Learn to Be More Optimistic as You Age? – John Trauth
Is optimism something you’re born with, or something you can learn? John Trauth, author of Maintaining Optimism While Aging, believes that the way we process events plays an important role in how we navigate aging, setbacks, and major life transitions.
In this conversation, John shares lessons from Positive Psychology, his own experiences with adversity, and a useful framework for examining negati
Who Are You Without the Title? – Marisa Franco
Who are you when your role at work changes? Psychologist and author Marisa Franco, PhD rejoins us to discuss her new book Worth: The New Science of Self-Esteem and Attachment. We explore self-worth, identity, relationships, and the challenge of becoming someone new. She explains why our sense of worth often becomes attached to achievement and professional identity, and why major transitions such a
Take Charge of Your Health – Lucy McBride MD
What does it really mean to take charge of your health? Lucy McBride MD, believes it involves much more than tracking your numbers. Good health is also about understanding the less measurable parts: what’s happening in your life, your relationships, stress, habits, emotional patterns, and your history.
Dr. Lucy McBride, a primary care physician and author of Beyond the Prescription: A Doctor
The Art of Creating What’s Next: Best of 2026 – Part Two

Don’t Reinvent. Recalibrate – Dr. Denise Taylor
A lot of the conversation on retirement runs one way: stay busy, stay productive. Dr. Denise Taylor thinks that could quietly cost some people their best years.
Denise is a Chartered Psychologist and later-life researcher in the UK. She spent 25 years coaching people through career transitions, then, at 61, went back to school herself, completing a professional doctorate on how people reconstruct

How to Try Again – Steve Kamb
Retirement can create an unexpected form of pressure. With more freedom and fewer work constraints, shouldn’t this be the moment when we finally perfect our health, routines, relationships, and long-delayed ambitions? Steve Kamb argues that this all-or-nothing mindset often produces an all-then-nothing result.

What Do You Want Out of Life…in Retirement ? – Valerie Tiberius
Retirement triggers one of the most profound re-evaluations many people will ever face. A career ends. Structure disappears. Identity shifts. And suddenly a question that could be put off — What do I really want out of life? — becomes more urgent and unavoidable. Valerie Tiberius has spent her career building a useful framework for exactly that question. Her insights offer you something much more
Making & Keeping Friends…in Retirement – Janice McCabe
Friendship is one of the most powerful forces shaping our lives—and our health. Friendships become harder to maintain as life evolves, especially during major transitions like retirement. Losing work friends is normal, yet few realize how new connections can be cultivated. Our guest today highlights why identity shifts can, perhaps counterintuitively, create oppotunities to build new friendships.

As you approach retirement, the questions shift. It’s no longer just “How much have I saved?” It becomes, “When do I want the freedom to retire?” “How much risk do I really need to take?” And perhaps most importantly — “What is my money for?”
