RETIRING DIFFERENTLY

Here's what nobody tells you about retirement: the terror isn't about money.

It's about waking up one day and realizing you have no idea who you are without your business card.

The phone stops ringing. Your calendar goes from packed to empty overnight.

All those people who used to seek your advice? They've moved on.

And you're left staring at a whole lot of free time with absolutely no clue how to fill it in a way that feels meaningful.

So you follow the script society hands you: travel, golf, grandkids, maybe some volunteering.

And for some people, that works.

But for a lot of us? It feels like putting a Band-Aid on an existential crisis.

Redefining Retirement

"Retiring differently" means acknowledging that retirement isn't actually about stopping work or filling time with activities.

It's about identity reconstruction.

It's about figuring out who you are when you're not defined by what you do.

We're exploring what it looks like to transition from business ownership to whatever comes next without losing yourself in the process. How do you use all that accumulated wisdom and experience in ways that actually feel meaningful?

What if retirement could be about integration rather than separation – bringing together all the phases of your life into something coherent instead of treating your working years as "real life" and everything after as the waiting room?

No easy answers. Just honest conversations about navigating one of life's most challenging transitions with intention instead of panic.
