REIMAGINING RETIRMENT
People today are living 10 to 30+ years beyond the "traditional" retirement age of 62 or 65 — a longevity revolution that has fundamentally changed what retirement means. It's no longer a single decision or a finish line. It's a transition, with its own ending, its own "messy middle," and its own new beginning. And the more important question isn't just what you're retiring from — it's what you're retiring to.
For financial planners, estate attorneys, and the other professionals who guide clients through this life stage, understanding retirement as a transition — not just an event-- is what separates good advice from great advice.
This session reframes retirement as a puzzle — both noun and verb. Finances and health are two of the biggest pieces, because they shape nearly everything else: if, when, and how to retire; where to live; how to spend time; what to leave behind. But the puzzle also includes pieces we rarely discuss openly — identity, ageism (including the kind we internalize about ourselves), expectations, time together and time alone, intimacy, spirituality, and end-of-life planning. And it's rarely a solo puzzle: spouses, partners, and — for solo agers — family and friends are all affected, which means clients need to puzzle it out individually and build a shared vision with the people who matter most to them.
There is no single "right way" to retire anymore — there are more paths than any prior generation has had. We'll explore how to help clients (and yourself) move from having retirement defined for you to designing this next chapter — with intention, resilience, and room to keep growing.
