Carmen shares her journey of navigating retirement, the identity shifts that come with it, and the importance of staying socially and mentally active. We dive into:
✅ The importance of planning ahead – From Social Security to Medicare, Carmen breaks down what you need to know before you retire to avoid common pitfalls.✅ Finding purpose after retirement – Whether it’s turning a hobby into a side hustle, staying engaged in community activities, or even starting a podcast, Carmen talks about ways to keep life fulfilling.✅ Maintaining routine & social connections – Why having a daily structure and staying involved in groups can make all the difference in your happiness post-retirement.✅ Downsizing & lifestyle choices – Should you simplify your living situation before retirement? Carmen shares her thoughts on this and why planning ahead is key.✅ Resources & Support – Carmen’s Just Join In group is full of educational resources, guest interviews, and practical advice to help you transition smoothly into retirement.
