What if retirement isn’t a finish line — but a choice?

This episode begins a multi-part series designed for women who are thinking about — or already living in — their next chapter. I’m inviting you into a more thoughtful conversation about retirement that moves away from rigid rules and toward intention, flexibility, and personal freedom.

In this episode, I revisit some meaningful ideas from earlier seasons — the ones listeners have told me changed how they think about life after full-time employment.

We’ll talk about:

• Why retirement today is less about stopping and more about choosing
• The many ways women live their next chapter — and why none are permanent
• The importance of flexible planning that can shift as life does

If you feel a shift happening — not an ending, but a next chapter — you’re in the right place.
