इस एपिसोड के बारे में
In this solo episode of Beyond Retirement, Jacquie reflects on insights from her conversation with Dr. Denise Taylor and explores a quieter, more sustainable approach to intentional living in retirement. Instead of asking, “What should I do now?”, Jacquie invites listeners to consider, “How do I want to live now?” The episode focuses on creating rhythm (not busyness), choosing curiosity over striving, and finding meaning that isn’t tied to productivity.
What you’ll hear in this episode
- Why intentional living isn’t always about doing more
- The shift from “What should I do?” to “How do I want to live?”
- How many retirees leave the job—but keep the pace, pressure, and identity of work
- Rhythm vs. routine: listening to your energy instead of living by urgency
- Why stillness can feel uncomfortable (and why it’s often exactly what we need)
- Curiosity as a key driver of well-being as we age
- How “Back in my day…” thinking quietly closes doors—and how to keep them open
- The identity question that can surface after retirement: “If I’m not that anymore… who am I?”
- Why meaning doesn’t require output, metrics, or a new label
- The difference between working longer because it’s joyful vs. working longer as avoidance
Key takeaways
- Intention starts with rhythm, not goals. Your days don’t need to be packed to be purposeful.
- Rhythm is energy-aware living. Notice when you feel alert, when you need rest, and when you’re simply done.
- Curiosity keeps the future open. You don’t have to be good at something to explore it.
- Meaning isn’t the same as productivity. Presence, listening, and care can be deeply meaningful.
- Not every season calls for acceleration. Some seasons call for integration, simplification, and rest.
