The honeymoon glow of retirement doesn’t last forever — for many, it’s followed by the disenchantment phase, when retirement feels empty, aimless, or even disappointing.

In this video, The Disenchantment Phase of Retirement – When retirement feels empty, I explains why this stage happens, how long it can last, and most importantly, what you can do to move through it.

You’ll learn:
✅ Why the disenchantment phase often surprises retirees
✅ Common feelings of boredom, restlessness, or loss of purpose
✅ Practical steps to overcome emptiness and find direction
✅ How this stage can actually lead to growth and fulfillment
