Ep.10 - From Payday to Purpose: Rethinking Life in Retirement
You’ve clocked out for the last time, said goodbye to spreadsheets and staff meetings… but now what? In this episode of Juggling Mind & Money, Steve and Jess unpack the surprisingly tricky reality of retirement – and the sneaky sense of purposelessness that can creep in when the calendar’s wide open.
Steve shares his own post-retirement slump, while Jess diagnoses the deeper issue: a lack of purpose. Together, they explore how meaning—not money—is often the real currency of a happy retirement.
Expect laughs, lightbulb moments, and practical ideas that go beyond “just keep busy” — from mentoring your dog (yes, really) to planning a pilgrimage to every pub older than 200 years. If you’re approaching retirement or already in it and wondering “Is this it?”, this one’s for you.
