Episode Description
What if you live to 100? Seriously, that’s not impossible these days… or is it daze? How would that shift the way you think about the rest of your life, whether you’re young, old, or anything in between? Are you ready for that? Whether you are currently retired, pondering when and how to retire and what that could look like, or wondering if that’s even possible, this episode is for you. We will explore how to redefine retirement as a way to live your life full of passion and purpose. Thankfully, there’s been a shift in the perception of retirement. Retirement is no longer seen as the end of a productive life, but as a transition to a new life filled with new opportunities for personal and even professional growth. Those shifts are where MAGIC CAN HAPPEN, if we let it.
Make Magic Happen!
Tuesdays at 7 AM Pacific Time on VoiceAmerica Empowerment Channel
Ready to make a significant shift in your life? Kat believes that when "SHIFT HAPPENS," you can "MAKE MAGIC HAPPEN!" An inspiring shift can be magical when you allow yourself to pursue the life you really want, unapologetically. It opens a world of new possibilities. But wait. Does what you want feel impossible? What if "impossible" is just a story we tell ourselves? When doubt creeps in, it's time to give yourself permission to say, "Hell, YES!" to that thing that's stuck in your imagination, for fear it won't work or others will think you're crazy. It's never too late to make a shift, no matter what stage of life you are in. Yes, shifts can be disruptive. But what if disruption, and what you see as real and imagined constraints are key to a new life beyond what you think is possible? Kat and her guests provide hope, inspiration, reassurance, and encouragement. Their strategies and practical tools will help you on your transformational journey from "impossible" to "possible."
