In Retirement Transformed we talk a lot about planning for and transitioning to retirement, but what happens if retirement is sudden, unplanned or forced upon you? How do you bounce back and reinvent yourself after an unexpected "early" retirement? We were so fortunate to have Jody's friend and former colleague, Kathleen McDonough, join us in our Retirement Transformed Community for a Facebook Live to share her story. 

We had such an incredible response to her story and so many in our community found her story relatable and inspiring so we wanted to share it with our YouTube community as well.

Cycling has been an activity that we've really embraced during our retirement. (We always talk about trying new things or exploring interests further in this phase of life!) We started off slowly with small goals, set more challenging goals, and it's become a major part of our exercise routine and something we love together and alone. As we've spent more time researching, we've learned about the huge benefits of cycling and how this can be enormously beneficial in your health journey on many levels.

The topic of downsizing in retirement can bring on a lot of anxiety and stress for many retirees. If you and your partner aren't in agreement about downsizing, the idea can bring even more negative feelings. Yet, downsizing (or rightsizing) can actually be beneficial to you and allow you to live a retirement that brings you more financial freedom, happiness and more time to spend on other things you've been wanting to do.
