Dr. Terri Bly, licensed Clinical Psychologist at LynLake Centers for WellBeing, will join Ken to discuss the unique challenges and opportunities that often accompany “the Third Age” of life. While many of us spend our working years dreaming about the day we can retire, when that day actually arrives we may be surprised to find ourselves feeling a bit lost, driftless, even depressed. Moreover, many of us end up trading the challenges of work life for health issues, caring for spouses or elderly parents (or both), and helping our adult children. Dr. Bly will talk about ways we can prepare ourselves for retirement even while we are still working, how to adjust our mindset and expectations in order to get the most out of retirement, and how we might approach the challenges we face once our careers no longer consume most of our time. She will also discuss when therapy might be a helpful tool for navigating this chapter of life, as well as how to find the best person to help you with your particular challenges.

Laurie Fitz is joined by our Twin Cities writer/composer, musician, actor, producer, and educator, Brenda Varda. Together they explore in a provocative discussion …. how the meaning of “holding” can be thought of during the holidays as well as with our relationship to the world around us. “What are you holding on to?”
