If you're juggling family responsibilities and wondering whether you're doing enough with your super, this episode offers practical insights to help you take back control.

What does an epic retirement really look like? And how do you build one that feels confident, flexible and truly yours? 

In this Epic Retirement Month special, we sit down with Bec Wilson, founder of Epic Retirement, to unpack the real truth about Australia’s retirement phase, what most people get wrong, and how small choices today can set you up for the “you of tomorrow.” 

Bec also reveals how the Epic Tick was created, what it means for Australians, and why the retirement phase should be held to a much higher standard. 

Whether you're five years from retiring or simply starting to imagine what life after full-time work could look like, this episode will help you dream bigger and plan smarter.

00:57 - Why Australia’s retirement phase is still “patchy”  

12:22 - The difference between accumulation vs retirement phase super  

13:55 - What the Epic Retirement Tick measures and why it matters for members 

16:21 - How ART performed across the 18 Epic Tick criteria
