Today on Feminine Roadmap: Making the most of un-retirement with founder and CE O of Next-Up, Victoria Tomlinson. Victoria is an unretirement advocate with a passion to help people get excited about this unique season of life. Retirement doesn’t always fit a person leaving their corporate job so what options are there? People tend to talk about retirement as if it’s a joyous time. In spite of feeling ready to stop the 9-5 and have “more time”, there is an unspoken struggle. Nobody is really talking about having a hard time with the transition because they may feel they are alone in that experience. Victoria has found that most people are going through the same feeling of loss and grief of the life they knew so well. Often retirement is accompanied by a loss of identity, source of purpose and social contact. The good news is that this can actually be the beginning of the most exciting season of our lives. We have garnered so much knowledge and experience that empower us to open new doors of opportunity. In this episode Victoria shares ways that people can navigate the transition from long time employee to the unretirement years. She gives practical advice and encouragement to those who find themselves retired but want to do more with their lives. Grab a cuppa something wonderful and join us for this uplifting and inspiring conversation. Get excited about your next chapter of life!
