Retire Purposefully Podcast

Hello! I am so excited about this section on my website. This is where I will be interviewing real people, like yourselves, and ask them how their retirement journey has gone, what changes they needed to make and why, and how they are living their best life today.

I will also be interviewing those of you who are thinking about retirement. What plans are you making, what are your thoughts and fears as you look to your future life?

Stay tuned as we add our video podcasts soon!

I can’t wait to share with you!
