Episode 50: Are You Ready for an Encore Career?

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for retirement, and an encore career may be the ticket to enjoying increased satisfaction during this phase of your life.

There is no rule book to follow in retirement, which means it can take many forms. Some retirees feel content sleeping in and learning a new hobby, while others feel aimless or anxious with so much newfound free time. That’s why some people benefit from an encore career – also called a second act – in order to find more purpose and satisfaction during this unique phase of life.

In this episode, Kathy discusses what an encore career may look like and shares how to know whether this could be the right type of retirement for you.
