Retirement is supposed to feel like freedom… so why does the first year feel so different?

In this video, we’re talking about the reality of your first year of retirement—the part no one really prepares you for.
From the unexpected loss of structure… to the shift in identity… to that strange feeling when time suddenly works differently—this phase can catch even the most prepared retirees off guard. You might find yourself asking:

• Who am I now that I’m not working?
• Why do I feel unsettled when I thought I’d feel relaxed?
• Why does time feel both slow… and fast?

If you’ve felt this way—or you’re approaching retirement—this video will help you understand what’s normal, what’s happening beneath the surface, and how to move through it with confidence. Because retirement isn’t just a financial transition… it’s a life transition. And the first year? That’s where everything begins to shift.
