Retirement is not just the end of a career; it’s the beginning of an exciting new chapter that you have the power to shape. In the recently highlighted Weekend Reading for Retirees article “Retire Without Regrets,” we learn from the Harvard Business Review that successful retirees don’t simply ease into their new post-work lifestyle.

I recall a classic Sufi parable about a man walking home late one night. He saw his neighbor, Mulla, anxiously crawling around on all fours, frantically searching for something on the ground under a streetlight.

Retirement isn’t the finish line—it’s the culmination of a journey you began years ago without realizing it. Perhaps it’s time to rewind retirement and rediscover the next phase as a time of reinvention and impact.

Is the Pursuit of Happiness Killing Your Second-Half-of-Life Joy?
As we step into the second half of life, we’re often told happiness lies in things like career success, financial stability, or the accumulation of stuff. It’s this grand pursuit painted as the ultimate goal. But what if that’s just another myth we've bought into?

Midlife is a profound crossroads where the choices we make can redefine our entire future. As we transition through this phase, it’s vital to approach each day, each decision, with intentionality and awareness. The practices in this series are not just about surviving these years—they’re about thriving, finding renewed purpose, and living with greater meaning and impact.

Owning your story is not simply hard work because you’ve lived it, it’s hard work because it requires that we take time to reflect on our lives with a willingness to unlearn what no longer serves us and to learn new pathways that allow us to break free from the generational wounds that have kept us from truly knowing ourselves so we may lead ourselves into new frontiers. It requires us to let go of the past and the impositions we allow it to have on our present and future realities.

I believe that we are here to cocreate each moment together. We do this by creating intentional habits that empower our bodies, shape our thinking, and align us with the highest good.

Step into a new season of leadership—leading yourself and impacting your family, friends, and community in powerful ways.
