Eight years ago, Wendy Leggett found herself at a crossroads after a successful and energizing 25-year career in sales leadership. So, she took the leap and ultimately founded her company, where she guides clients through a fulfilling retirement transition, focusing on well-being, identity, feelings of purpose, connectedness, and positive Aging.

In this episode, she discusses:

• What, beyond the financials, is critical for retirement success
• Significant misconceptions about retirement
• How to go about reframing both purpose and identity
• “Transitions” as an internal change
• How being single or married affects a lot of choices
• Our role models for retirement probably weren’t positive
• Pro-aging and positive aging

Wendy has many nuggets throughout our conversation, some of my favourites are “If you are what you do, who are you when you don’t?” and the difference between finding our purpose and feeling purposeful.

Agnes Knowles Podcaster

I’ve probably done most of the things you expect a woman my age to have done: married and divorced; three children; variety of jobs over the years including a couple of home-based businesses and, finally, a pretty good career; gave up that career (and home and life) to move and take care of a dementing mother; adult daughter moved back home with a baby; financial struggles; sucker-punched by the post-2007 economy. You tell a similar story.

My podcast is for Boomer Women. A variety of subjects, a variety of viewpoints... and open to suggestions if I'm not covering a topic you want to hear about.
