  • Life in Three Dimensions – Dr. Shige Oishi
    Join our group and design your retirement. Six Fridays starting on October 3rd. Learn more here. _________________________ Is there more to a great life than happiness and meaning?  Dr. Shige Oishi thinks so. He's the author of Life in Three Dimensions: How Curiosity, Exploration and Experience Make a Fuller, Better Life, and he defines psychological richness as a life filled with diverse, interesting, and perspective-shifting experiences. Unlike the well-trodden paths of happiness (contentment) and meaning (purpose-driven focus), psychological richness is about exploration, challenge, and even taking on uncomfortable challenges —because growth lives outside the comfort zone. And retirement is a catalyst to explore this third dimension of life. Yet, psychological richness doesn’t require dramatic change. It’s quite accessible through small shifts, and by simply trying something new. Try new foods, meet someone new, or change your routine. And seize opportunities to be spontaneous and playful. Listen in and learn more about how psychological richness can enhance your life in retirement. Shige Oishi joins us from Chicago. _________________________ Bio Dr. Shige Oishi is the Marshall Field IV Professor of Psychology at the University of Chicago. He is the author of Life in Three Dimensions: How Curiosity, Exploration and Experience Make a Fuller, Better Life. Dr Oishi is one of the foremost authorities on happiness, meaning, and culture. He is the author of The Psychological Wealth of Nations, and his research has been featured in major media outlets, including The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. __________________________ For More on Dr. Shige Oishi Life in Three Dimensions: How Curiosity, Exploration and Experience Make a Fuller, Better Life Website __________________________ Podcast Conversations You May Like The Art of the Interesting – Lorraine Besser, PhD How to Retire – Christine Benz Make Your Next Years Your Best Years – Harry Agress, MD ___________________________ About The Retirement Wisdom Podcast There are many podcasts on retirement, often hosted by financial advisors with their own financial motives, that cover the money side of the street.

  • Joyspan – Kerry Burnight, PhD
    Want to create a retirement your boss will envy? Design it. New group program starts on October 3rd. Six weeks to a new direction. Learn more __________________________ Most of us know about lifespan and healthspan—but have you thought about your joyspan?  Gerontologist Dr. Kerry Burnight is the author of  Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half. She shares her research and practical wisdom on how to extend not just the years of our lives, but the years we will truly enjoy living. Drawing from her “Joyspan Matrix” and decades of experience, Kerry, a nationally recognized advocate for positive aging, offers a fresh perspective and new thinking on thriving in later life for your consideration. We discuss: The importance of joyspan alongside lifespan and healthspan What she's learned from her longest running case study (her Mom) Lessons from her grandmothers’ contrasting approaches to aging The four pillars of the Joyspan Matrix: Grow, Connect, Adapt, and Give Why connection is as vital as medicine How purpose can change our biology and well-being Practical ways to spark curiosity and joy through personal projects Kerry Burnight joins us from Southern California. ________________________ Bio Dr. Kerry Burnight, America’s Gerontologist, is sparking a revolution to make older better. Fed up with the fear-driven, anti-aging hysteria, hundreds of thousands of people turn to “Dr. Kerry” for her practical, effective and uplifting approach to navigating longevity. Her approach to aging is based upon a profound truth: the key to good longevity isn’t the length of your life, it’s the quality of your life. Efforts to maximize lifespan and even healthspan don’t address the whole picture. Longevity is meaningless if you don’t like your life. Burnight introduces the critical concept, “joyspan,” based on the science of well-being, contentment, connection, meaning, growth, choice, and purpose. She earned her PhD in Gerontology at the University of Southern California. Dr. Burnight taught Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology for 18 years at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine. She was an invited speaker to the U.S. White House at the Elder Justice Summit and at the U.S. Department of Justice. She has appeared on CBS News, NBC News, The Doctors, Money Matters, and The Dr. Phil Show. ___________________________ Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half Website On CBS Mornings with Gayle King and team (4 minutes) ____________________________ Podcast Conversations You May Like Thinking Better to Live Better – Dr. Woo-kyoung Ahn Ageism Unmasked – Dr. Tracey Gendron The Joy Choice – Dr. Michelle Segar ____________________________ About The Retirement Wisdom Podcast There are many podcasts on retirement, often hosted by financial advisors with their own financial motives, that cover the money side of the street.

  • Grandparents’ Day – Kerry Byrne & Ted Page
    September 7th is Grandparents' Day! Celebrate the grandparents in your life or reflect on your own grandparenting journey. This is a special Retirement Roundtable episode, where we invite previous guests to engage in a conversation with each other. Returning are Ted Page, author of the new book Good Grandpa: Stories from the Heart of Grandfatherhood, and Kerry Byrne, founder of The Long Distance Grandparent. They're bringing different perspectives on, and experiences with, one of retirement's most complex yet rewarding roles: modern grandparenting. This isn't the hands-off grandparenting of yesteryear. Today's grandparents face unique challenges. They must actively build connections, learn, leverage, and adapt to emerging technologies; and navigate changing family roles and dynamics, walking the delicate line between sharing wisdom and overstepping boundaries. We Discuss: How grandparenting has evolved Why modern grandparenting requires more intentionality How humor and fun create trust and lasting bonds How to navigate different parenting philosophies with adult childrenLeveraging technology while staying mindful of balance The powerful impact of sharing family stories and traditions Ways to create meaningful experiences across generations Kerry Byrne joins us from Toronto, and Ted Page joins us from Vermont. _______________________________ For More on Ted Page Good Grandpa: Stories from the Heart of Grandfatherhood Blog: GoodGrandpa.com – Nurturing the Next Generation _______________________________ For More on Kerry Byrne The Long Distance Grandparent FREE Printable Cheat Sheet to Help you Connect with your Grandchild from a Distance _______________________________ Podcast Conversations You May Like The Long Distance Grandparent – Kerry Byrne PhD Good Grandpa – Ted Page The Mindful Grandparent – Dr. Shirley Showalter _______________________________ Mentioned in This Podcast Conversation Dr. Becky ________________________________ About The Retirement Wisdom Podcast There are many podcasts on retirement, often hosted by financial advisors with their own financial motives, that cover the money side of the street.

  • Strengthen Your Emotional Fitness – Dr. Emily Anhalt
    Do you know what you'll be retiring to? Join us for six Fridays starting on October 3rd and invest in Future You. Learn more here. ___________________________ How much time do you spend working out your body versus working out your emotional health? Physical fitness requires daily practice—hitting the gym once won't deliver the results you want. But when it comes to our emotions, we often think we'll "deal with that later" or assume we don't need to actively work on our emotional well-being. Emily Anhalt, clinical psychologist and author of Flex Your Feelings: Train Your Brain to Develop the 7 Traits of Emotional Fitness, knows this approach doesn't work. She's developed a framework for "emotional fitness"—an ongoing, proactive practice of strengthening your mental and emotional health through small, consistent habits that build resilience, curiosity, and communication skills before you need them. In this conversation, Emily shares how emotionally fit people approach life differently, why playfulness is a valuable health practice (with research to back it up), and practical strategies you can implement today. Her insights are particularly valuable and timely for those navigating retirement transitions, when stress doesn't disappear—it simply changes form. Emily Anhalt joins us from California. _______________________________ We Discuss Why emotional fitness requires daily practice, just like physical fitness How curiosity transforms defensiveness into opportunities for growth Why playfulness can increase creativity, collaboration, and longevity The hidden stress of retirement: identity, relationships, and meaning Setting boundaries: every "yes" is also a "no" to something else The power of "Relationship Retros" for proactive connection Using emojis strategically to improve communication and reduce misunderstandings Building new friendships through your existing network The monthly feedback message that can transform your relationships _______________________ Bio Dr. Emily Anhalt is the author of  Flex Your Feelings: Train Your Brain to Develop the 7 Traits of Emotional Fitness. She is a clinical psychologist, author, and cofounder of Coa, the gym for mental health. For the past fifteen years, Dr. Anhalt has worked clinically with executives, founders, and tech employees, and has conducted extensive research with prominent psychologists and entrepreneurs about how leaders can improve their emotional health. Dr. Anhalt has collaborated with companies like Google, Salesforce, NBCUniversal, NASDAQ, and the NBA. _____________________ For More on Dr. Emily Anhalt Flex Your Feelings: Train Your Brain to Develop the 7 Traits of Emotional Fitness Website ____________________ Podcast Conversations You May Like Ditch Your Baggage – Dr. Bob Rosen Retire Happy – Dr. Catherine Sanderson The Emotionally Intelligent Retirement – Kate Schroeder & Nick Wignall _____________________ About The Retirement Wisdom Podcast There are many podcasts on retirement, often hosted by financial advisors with their own financial motives, that cover the money side of the street.

  • Resurface – Cassidy Krug
    How much have you invested for the financial side of your retirement? How about the non-financial side? Join us for six Fridays starting on October 3rd and get moving on your roadmap. Learn more here. ____________________ Transitions are rarely easy, whether you're leaving your career or any other life chapter that has helped define you. Cassidy Krug knows this firsthand. A 2012 Olympian in diving, she grew up immersed in the sport—coached by her parents, competing at Stanford, and training for years beyond. When she reached her dream of competing at the London Games, she also knew it was time to move on. In this conversation, Cassidy Krug shares the lessons she learned about navigating major life transitions—from sport to career, and from an “all-in” life to an “à la carte” one. She talks candidly about the identity shifts, the uncertainty of new beginnings, and the importance of reflection, interpretation, and community. Her story offers inspiration and practical wisdom for anyone facing their own turning points, especially those contemplating or entering retirement. Cassidy Krug joins us from Los Angeles. _______________________ We Discuss The emotional challenges of retiring from something when you still love what you do Why we tend to cling too long to what we do—and what helps us let go The critical role of interpreting your story, not just reacting to change How asking for help (and informational interviews) opened new doors in her career Creating an “à la carte” life after diving, balancing career, creativity, and relationships The value of curiosity and trying new things—even when you’re used to being an expert Why investing in community matters so much after leaving a team or workplace The best advice she received (and what she wishes she had) about embracing change _________________________ Bio  Cassidy Krug is the author of Resurface: A Guide to Navigating Life’s Biggest Transitions. She is a former Olympic diver, a writer, and a brand and innovation strategist based in Los Angeles. She graduated from Stanford with an English degree and she won two NCAA diving titles there. ___________________________ For More on Cassidy Krug Resurface: A Guide to Navigating Life’s Biggest Transitions Website ____________________________ Podcast Conversations You May Like The Portfolio Life – Christina Wallace Strategic Quitting – Julia Keller Edit Your Life – Elisabeth Sharp McKetta The Skill Set for Life’s Transitions – Bruce Feiler _____________________________ About The Retirement Wisdom Podcast There are many podcasts on retirement, often hosted by financial advisors with their own financial motives, that cover the money side of the street.
