EP # 141 - Rethinking Retirement: Aging, Identity, and the Power of Mentorship with Dr. Deborah Heiser
Manage episode 482879506 series 3008801
What if retirement wasn’t the end of your story—but the beginning of your legacy?
In this episode, Joe chats with Dr. Deborah Heiser, a developmental psychologist and founder of The Mentor Project, about how retirees can find purpose, connection, and fulfillment through mentorship, movement, and mindset. They explore the concept of generativity—our natural drive to give back—as a key to emotional well-being in midlife and retirement. Deborah shares how mentoring others boosts both health and happiness, why reframing retirement as an opportunity (not a decline) is essential, and how small daily habits like walking and social connection can greatly improve quality of life.
