We're trained our entire lives to be productive, go to work, do well, set tasks, and accomplish things – and, really, most of that's taken away at retirement. Although we don’t often talk about it, it’s very common for people to grieve the loss of their job because they suddenly lose all of those things.

We want you to know that grieving your job is normal, and help you unpack some of what you’re feeling (or will feel).

We are joined once again by Robert Laura, a retirement activist committed to changing the way people think about and prepare for every aspect of retirement and the Founder of the Retirement Coaches Association.

 

DISCUSSION TOPICS

What disenfranchised grief is.

Why grief in retirement is normal.

How to proactively break the “chains of retirement.”

Robert Laura – a retirement activist committed to changing the way people think about and prepare for every aspect of retirement and the Founder of the Retirement Coaches Association – joins us to talk about a very important topic: your Legacy.

We don’t just mean your financial legacy (the assets you will pass on), but your values, your beliefs, and stories that are important to you. These are the kind of things that create meaning and fulfillment, and at the end of the day, that's what people are really looking for in retirement.

 

DISCUSSION TOPICS

Why The New Retirement is really a series of retirements, not one single transition.

What your Legacy is (beyond the assets you pass on).

How you can pass on true wealth.
