Retirement isn’t the end—it’s a powerful new beginning. In this deeply moving and enlightening episode, I sit down with Wendy Leggett, a Professional Certified Coach and the heart behind Conflux Retirement Coaching. Together, we unpack the emotional layers of retirement—the fear, the loss of identity, and the power of reinvention.

Wendy shares how to shift from “doing” to “being,” why mapping out your joy is as essential as your finances, and how to step into retirement not with dread, but with purpose and peace. Whether you're retiring next year or in thirty, this conversation will change the way you view your next chapter.

What We Talk About:

• Why non-financial retirement planning matters
  
  
• The AIM method: Awareness, Intention, and Movement
  
  
• Reclaiming identity beyond your career
  
  
• Creating joy now—not just “someday”
  
  
• How grief and presence shape our purpose
  
  
• Real-life stories of reinvention and renewal
