Road To Retirement: Settled In & Not So Settled In... Moving, Starting Over & Finding Your New Normal.
We are back!! Would you call it a sabbatical? A mental health vacation? Or just plain burnout from selling our homes and moving cross country?
In this episode, we share our experiences and feelings about stepping away to make major life changes, leaving familiar places behind, and finding your footing somewhere new. We talk about the highs, the lows, the unexpected challenges and share what we’ve learned along the way.
If you've ever felt burned out, questioned your next chapter, moved somewhere new, or simply needed permission to slow down and reset, this conversation is for you!
TOPICS COVERED/HIGHLIGHTS
- Burnout and taking a break: recognizing when you need to step away and reset.
- Selling your home: the emotional and practical realities of leaving a familiar place behind.
- Moving across the country: what happens when you completely change your environment.
- Starting over: adjusting to a new chapter and figuring out where you fit.
- The difference between being “settled” and feeling settled. Why a physical move doesn't necessarily mean you've found your footing.
- Mental health and rest: giving yourself permission to pause without feeling guilty.
- Life transitions: navigating uncertainty when the old chapter has ended but the new one isn't fully defined.
- Lessons learned during the break: what stepping away revealed about priorities, relationships, work, and life.
