Ep 101: A while back, we were talking with one of our clients, and he shared that there was one area where he felt powerless: his physical health. Specifically, he had been dealing with chronic pain that, despite his best efforts, seemed to impact his ability to fully enjoy retirement. That made us realize that many retirees, while they’ve planned for their finances, social lives, and even hobbies, often don’t anticipate the physical challenges that may come with Aging, especially how to manage chronic pain. How do you maintain a positive attitude and find purpose when pain becomes part of your daily life? How can you continue to live a fulfilling and meaningful retirement despite physical limitations?

Our guest today is a sought-after speaker who believes in the power of a good story to help, inspire, and motivate people to lead their uncommon and extraordinary lives. By combining his twelve-year Cancer journey with his diverse business, athletic Coaching, and hostage negotiating background, he shares his wealth of knowledge on Managing & Overcoming Chronic Pain in Retirement. Please welcome Terry Tucker to The Retirement Success in Maine Podcast!
