Suzanne Campi is a certified professional, co-active coach passionate about helping individuals thrive, especially during the powerful life transition of retirement. While many focus solely on finances, Suzanne guides clients through the equally vital psychosocial aspects of this next chapter: Purpose, Growth, Health, Relationships, Play, Spirituality, Adventure, and Legacy. With a background in psychology and a career spanning real estate sales, gym ownership, and high-tech recruiting, she brings a well-rounded, deeply human approach to coaching. Suzanne meets people exactly where they are, empowering them with insight and encouragement to design a retirement and life filled with vitality, meaning, and joy. For Suzanne, retirement isn’t an ending—it’s your next great adventure.

In this episode, Leonard and Suzanne discuss:

• Why retirement goes beyond finances—it’s also an emotional and identity shift
• Navigating key psychosocial elements like purpose, relationships, and personal growth
• The importance of taking a “gap year” after retiring to rediscover yourself
• Strategies to maintain intergenerational connections and social well-being
• Reimagining legacy, adventure, and self-expression beyond a career title

Key Takeaways:

• Rather than marking an end, retirement is reframed as a personal renaissance—an open canvas for creative reinvention and purposeful living.
• Hidden beneath the surface, many retirees face a startling realization: their sense of self was largely shaped by job titles and external roles now left behind.
• Through gentle exploration without immediate goals, the idea of a “gap year” emerges as a powerful tool for self-discovery and emotional reset.
• In a striking redefinition, legacy transcends wealth—it becomes about meaningful connections, shared wisdom, and the stories others carry forward.
• What begins as an exit from work evolves into an unexpected opportunity to pursue forgotten dreams, proving it’s never too late to shape a bold new identity.

"Retirement is your chance to write a resume about who you are, not what job you had."
