Retirement doesn’t always look the way we planned… now what?

In this episode of Sherapy with Sheri & Randy, we’re having a real conversation about what retirement actually looks like when life takes a different path. Sheri shares her journey of stepping away from work to care for their mom—and how that meant giving up savings and starting over later in life. Randy opens up about still working, not by choice, but because financial struggles and health challenges made retirement feel out of reach.

We also talk about what so many people are experiencing today: • Living on Social Security • Working longer than expected • Rising costs, including insurance • Moving in with family • And redefining what “retirement” really means

The truth is—retirement isn’t one-size-fits-all anymore.

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Is this really what retirement is supposed to feel like?” You’re not alone.
