  • Relevant and Relatable

    I just listened to your interview with Gary Cole and loved every minute of it. You both touched on so many things I could relate to having just retired last year. My husband is still working and has contemplated retirement, but is afraid to let go of his routine. I loved the analogy to finishing other chapters in life and moving into a new beginning. Perhaps that is just what he needs to hear? We'll see! Thank you for an awesome podcast.

    I started listening a year before I retired and got so many great tips from Kathe and her guests. Barbara is my favorite. I love listening to her retirement stories. I totally relate to the 6 pillars. Thanks Kathe! Keep it coming!

  • Rock On - to health and vitality in our next phase

    I am loving the podcast both the past year with Barbara Mock’s journey and Kathe’s very informed and well delivered topics. I’m now 5 years from an early retirement and appreciate all you share (such sage advice) and look forward to each podcast which I enjoy on my daily walks in nature. With gratitude

  • Great Podcast, but…

    I really miss the old format of an actual live discussion/interview with guests. It looks like the last one was with Edd and Cynthia on April 3. The new format - where the host describes the interview, interspersed with quotes from the guest said, is too packaged and slick. Less real. Good information, still, but off putting. I’m hoping you go back to the previous format, which was awesome.
