Retirement is something many people look forward to. Often as a solution to everyday problems. A promise of freedom; of being your own boss at last; of getting up when YOU want to; of a permanent holiday free from responsibilities.

But, as much as this may be appealing, there can be a huge downside: a loss of structure, identity and a change to relationships can take the shine off quicker than you think. Motivation can plummet and the dream of a happy retirement can turn into a Groundhog Day experience of daytime TV and your comfy pyjamas, leading to depression and poor health. In this interview with retirement coach Anne Cannings, we explore the highs and lows of retirement so you can navigate it with grace and ease, getting the most from this chapter in your life so that it fulfils your best hopes rather than be consumed by the question "is this it?".

This interview will help you plan your future, your recalibrate the retirement you are in, depending on what you are on your journey.
