🧠 Most people think retirement has two stages: working… and then not.
But the truth? There are five — and one of the hardest is Stage 3: Disenchantment.

It’s true—many people spend more time planning a two-week vacation than they do preparing for a retirement that could last 20 years or more.

But don’t worry—I’m not saying you need to plan every minute of your day.

You just need a starting point. A bit of clarity. Some intention.
That’s where real fulfillment begins.

Kate didn’t take the time to think or plan past those first few months. She thought, “I’ll just wing it.” But as her story shows, that approach often leads to feeling lost or disconnected.

When we leave behind our careers, we also leave behind routines, roles, and relationships that gave us meaning, purpose, and identity.
To build a fulfilling retirement, we need to take time to rediscover those things—on our own terms.
