Retirement isn’t dead—but it may be reinventing itself before our eyes.

Hosted by Michelle Martin, this episode examines why 13% of retirees are heading back to work in 2025 and what it means for the rest of us. From FIRE to “micro-retirements,” younger generations are reimagining financial freedom, but often without a solid plan. 

Guest Polka Mishra, Partner at Javelin Wealth Management, argues that ages 30–50 are the “accumulation years” where financial choices make or break your retirement dream.

She reveals the hidden costs of delay, the trap of premature de-risking, and the power of starting early.

Whether you aim to retire early, or simply retire well, this conversation bridges aspiration with actionable strategy.
