Welcome to a new week here on the Retirement Quick Tips podcast! I'm your host and guide, Ashley Micciche.

I'm a financial advisor and co-owner of True North Retirement Advisors, a fee-only fiduciary financial advisory practice managing over $425M in assets. For 17 years, I've helped my clients retire with confidence, and my goal on this podcast is to help you simplify the complexities of retirement so you can focus on what truly matters— living a fulfilling retirement while maintaining financial security.

I'm turning 40 this week. And I was planning to share with you 40 life lessons I've learned over the last 40 years, but as I was getting ready to record, the stock market continued it's turbulent path and both the Nasdaq and S&P 500 officially entered correction territory. So I thought it would be timely and hopefully more valuable to share some insights on corrections - what they mean, how to deal with them, and discuss what to do.
