Thinking about early retirement or already living it? This episode is your wake-up call — and your roadmap.
In this powerful and personal episode of The Early Retirement Roadmap, I talk about the retirement truths no one warns you about.

You’ll learn:
Why retirement feels unstructured or even empty for many
The #1 activity most retirees do daily (hint: it's not what they planned)
How to prepare emotionally, socially, and mentally — not just financially
The 3 characteristics of thriving retirees
