Juggling Mind and Money

Ep.11 - Socially Disconnected? How to fix the Friendship Gap in Retirement

Steve Rowe and Jessica Schlupp-Taylor Episode 11

Is retirement a recipe for relaxation—or social isolation?

In this episode of Juggling Mind and Money, Steve and Jess dive into the less talked about side of retirement: losing the social buzz that comes with the 9-to-5.

From awkward silences to watercooler withdrawals, we explore why making friends as an adult is harder than it sounds—and what you can actually do about it. Plus, how money plays a role in staying connected and why a solid financial plan might just buy you more than security… it could buy you happiness (or at least some decent company).

Expect wit, wisdom, and a few confessions about lonely weeks and dodgy TV habits.

Whether you’re nearing retirement, already there, or just curious about what’s beyond the payslip, this one’s for you.
