You've been so focused on the finish line that you haven't thought about what you're running toward. That's where it gets hard.

Candy sits down with Lori Candela, certified professional retirement coach and founder of Retiring on Purpose. With more than 30 years of experience in coaching, leadership development, and career transition, Lori helps successful professionals prepare for the non-financial side of retirement - the identity shift, the loss of structure, the values reset, and the question nobody tells you is coming: now what?

In this conversation, Lori shares how she went from designing learning programs for corporations to finding her niche in retirement coaching by asking herself which parts of her work she actually loved and following that thread all the way. It's a story that will resonate with any coach who found their niche by getting closer to the thing they really cared about.

You'll hear about the messy middle that catches so many retirees by surprise. You'll hear why your values almost certainly shifted since you were climbing the ladder and why most people haven't looked at them since. And you'll hear why Lori believes the best time to start planning your next chapter is 10 to 15 years before you retire.

This one is for coaches, professionals, and anyone who's been so busy building a career they forgot to think about what comes after.
