The Retirement Trap affects millions of people who believe retirement will bring lasting happiness and freedom, only to experience unexpected decline and depression. In this powerful conversation with Dr. Riley Moynes, we uncover why retirement often follows predictable psychological phases and how many retirees unknowingly fall into a dangerous mental and emotional trap.

You will learn about the four phases of retirement, why the vacation phase fades, and how loss of purpose, identity, and structure can lead to serious mental health challenges. Dr. Moynes explains the connection between retirement, depression, physical decline, and rising divorce rates among retirees. Most importantly, he shares how to escape the Retirement Trap by rediscovering purpose, service, and meaning after work ends.

If you or someone you love is approaching retirement or already struggling with it, this episode offers life changing insights and practical guidance to help you thrive instead of decline.
