Listen Later

Get ready for an inspiring conversation with tech retiree and podcast host, Gretchen Schoser. Gretchen, aka G-Rex, invites us into her world to talk about trading tech for a mic, her journey toward retirement, and the mental health battles she’s faced along the way. Tune in as she unpacks her new podcast, “Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads,” which she co-hosts with Dirty Skittles, and how it acts as a comforting refuge during challenging times, not only for the hosts but also their listeners.

 

Our hosts Stephanie McCullough and Kevin Gaines follow Gretchen through her post-retirement adventures in Europe and her extended Florida retirement party. Gretchen’s travels are a testament to living in the moment and creating beautiful memories, inspired by her friend Booky, who, in the face of terminal cancer, lived life on her terms.

 

Stick around as Gretchen teases us with glimpses of her upcoming book. She shares her tale of self-discovery, setting healthy boundaries, and how she's using her newfound freedom to help others navigate the podcasting world. Get cozy, you won’t want to miss a minute of G-Rex’s inspiring journey.
