The EOFY checklist; & what you need to think about for the year ahead 

In the second installment of our 'New Rhythm of Retirement' series, I'm diving into the psychology of purpose and how you can find meaning after work.

First up, I chat to clinical neuropsychologist Professor Nancy Pachana about overcoming the identity crisis of the 'first workless Tuesday' and how to transition into a mindset that keeps your brain healthy and your passion alive.

Then I speak to Lynda Cross, head of guidance at Aware Super, to map out the financial flexibility required to confidently fund those next 1,500 workless Tuesdays!

Thinking about Antarctica? Here's what you need to know🐧❄️

Throughout June, I’ve teamed up with Aware Super to bring you a special series: The Ultimate Guide to the New Rhythm of Retirement. We’re exploring how we actually want to live, work and fund our second half of life. 

Each episode, I'll chat to experts and hear from real life Prime Timer's about how to prepare for and embrace the next phase.

In this first episode, we’re tackling the 'soft launch.' How do you transition from full time work to a lifestyle that offers more freedom without losing your paycheck, or your mind, overnight?

I’m joined by Bambi Price, founder of War on Wasted Talent, to discuss how to navigate midlife career pivots and beat ageism in the workplace. Then I chat to Peter Hogg, General Manager of Guidance & Advice at Aware Super, to break down the financial mechanics of scaling back, ensuring your money works as hard as you do during this transition.

Over the next month, we’re diving into:
The Soft Launch: Mastering the transition from full-time to part-time work
Finding Your ‘New You’: How to inject fresh purpose and identity into life after work
Funding the Dream: Practical strategies to ensure your bank balance matches your lifestyle ambitions
