Welcome to a new season of The Retirement Wisdom Podcast! We’ll be delving into eight building blocks of a satisfying life in retirement this year with new conversations to help you retire smarter.

In my work as a coach, I see many people get stuck trying to find a new purpose in retirement. Some transition with a new driving force in their life post-full time work. But I’m seeing many others finding a different path forward. Rather than searching for a singular new purpose, they’re crafting what I call a Multipurpose Retirement focusing on multiple dimensions of life, not just one.

And they’re discovering something interesting. They’ve always been multidimensional. As our previous guest Helen Dennis, co-author of Project Renewment, highlighted you’ve always been much more than your business card. But some things were deferred or deprioritized given the real demands of careers. But this next phase offers a golden opportunity to reset, recharge and redesign how you invest your time now that you’ll more freedom and flexibility.

But how do you manage the transition? What works is learning more, choosing areas of focus and experimenting. Previous guest Dave Evans, co-author of Designing Your Life, pointed out that you don’t need to figure everything out in advance. There are advantages to “iterating your way forward.”

Dr. Barbara O’Neill, author of Flipping a Switch, introduced us to the idea that retirement is actually a graduation – from the world of full-time work. But just as you graduated earlier in life, your learning did stop at graduation. And it’s the same with retirement.

We’ll be learning more about four “Core Course” topics that can lay a strong foundation for your next phase:

If you get these four areas going well, you’ll be well-positioned for the life you’ve been working toward.

And we’ll also be exploring “Elective Course” topics that can further enhance and invigorate your next chapters:

For many people, investing in one, and more, of these areas can bolster the years ahead.

Join us as we learn more about this areas in 2020.
