While financial planning plays a key role in retirement, it’s only part of the picture—many people face a significant identity shift as they figure out who they are without their job title. In this heartfelt and insightful episode of The Green Zone Podcast, co-hosts Jeff Green and Lauren Smith go beyond the numbers to explore lesser-known aspects about retirement that often catch people off guard. In particular, they focus on the emotional transition that comes after the final paycheck. Together they discuss:
- The emotional and psychological identity shift that happens in retirement
- Why hobbies alone may not be enough to sustain you post-retirement
- How to start building your post-career identity before you stop working
- The importance of cultivating diverse social circles outside of work
- Creating structure and routine in retirement to replace the rhythm of a workweek
- Ways to engage with your community: clubs, volunteer work, or alumni groups
- Gender differences in how people adapt socially to retirement
- Real-life client stories that illustrate successful (and not-so-successful) retirements
- And more!
