In this episode, I talk about a moment that stopped me in my tracks—being shown my “predicted lifespan” during a financial planning session—and how that sparked a deeper reflection on retirement, identity, and what comes next.

After decades of chasing goals, pushing limits, and constantly striving for more, I found myself wondering: who am I if I’m no longer working toward something big?

I also get into the surprising pressure retirees face to find a new “grand purpose.” I challenge the idea that we must reinvent ourselves to live a meaningful life. If you’ve ever wondered whether you need a purpose to feel complete, this conversation might shift your perspective.
