In this episode of Shaping Your Retirement, we’re diving into an essential but sometimes overlooked part of retirement: your social life. From work connections that naturally fade to newfound freedom and time, retirement can either expand or shrink your social circle—depending on how intentional you are. Leslie and Jess explore ways to keep (or build!) meaningful relationships after leaving the workplace. Whether you're an introvert, extrovert, or somewhere in between, you'll hear fun, practical ideas for staying socially engaged through volunteering, hobbies, classes, pets, dinner parties, virtual groups, and more. Plus, we talk about how your personality plays a role in building the kind of social life that energizes you in this new chapter.

Shaping Your Retirement

Non-financial Retirement Coaches Jess and Leslie Mizerak believe in shaping a fulfilling life in retirement that represents who you are and what you want to accomplish. For some, that means time with family and friends or traveling; for others, it’s taking care of health or volunteering. Our co-hosts discuss retirement trends and interview guests who bring fresh perspectives to listeners who are thinking about retirement or wanting to get more out of their retirement experience.
