Ep 104: A few weeks ago, we were talking with one of our listeners, and she shared something that struck us. After retiring from a long and successful career, she found herself feeling unfulfilled.

Ep 102: Today’s episode of The Retirement Success in Maine Podcast is one that speaks to resilience in the face of overwhelming odds, and how we can find deeper meaning in life, especially after going through life-altering events. It’s a story that reminds us of the fragility of life, but also of the immense strength that can emerge from tragedy. Our guest today has an extraordinary story. In 2011, he was involved in a near-fatal car crash with a tractor-trailer, leaving him with just a 1% chance of survival. After a grueling recovery process, he emerged not only as a survivor but as someo…

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…

Ep 095: When we sit down with our clients, one of the greatest fears in retirement is needing Long-Term Care services as we age. But our long-term care needs are often undefined. We don’t know how we’ll age. Some of us do know a bit about how our immediate family has aged and what their experience with long-term care has been, but is that relevant for us? With our clients, we can roughly game plan whether our current retirement assets and savings might be enough to support one or two people’s long-term care needs. But it’s certainly a guess and it only discusses the financial component…

This emotional rollercoaster can be especially amplified when it comes to retirement. We spend decades planning our retirement and accumulating expectations, but then life throws us a curveball. Maybe we don’t have the Money to carry out our plan…
