What if your greatest growth in retirement didn’t come from doing more—but from finally sitting with who you are? Throughout this discussion, we explore the concept of the “shadow self”—the parts of yourself that you may avoid, hide, or ignore—and how bringing light to these areas can lead to true peace and deeper connection in the second half of life. 

In this episode, we discuss: 

• How unresolved emotional patterns can impact health, relationships, and joy
• Why it’s important to take inventory of the roles you’ve been praised for
• How to leverage retirement as a mirror and own where you’re out of alignment

Today's article is from our very own blog post which you can find here. Listen in as Founder and CEO of Howard Bailey Financial, Casey Weade is joined by Les McDaniel to explore how embracing your “shadow self” can lead to deeper peace and fulfillment in retirement.
