Today, I'm speaking with Krista St-Germain. Krista is a Master Certified Life Coach, grief expert, and host of the Widowed Mom Podcast, where she specializes in helping widows move forward and love their life again. When her husband was killed by a drunk driver just 3 ½ months after their wedding, her life was flipped upside down. As she worked through her loss, she realized that she can leverage her loss to make her life better and has helped others do the same. Her Moms Go On program has given hundreds of widowed moms the tools they need to create futures they can get excited about. In today's conversation, we dig into the biggest reasons people avoid talking about grief, the magic that can be found in post-traumatic growth and how grief doesn't always work in the 5 stages that we've always heard about.

How traumatic loss gives us the power to redefine our lives, find new meaning, and live more authentically.

What Krista would've done differently to prepare for traumatic loss. How to rethink our relationship to money as we navigate grief. What–and what not–to say to people who have lost loved ones.

Today, I'm talking to Joan MacDonald–a 77-year-old fitness influencer with 1.8 million Instagram followers. At 70, she was on medication for high blood pressure and acid reflux. She suffered from arthritis, couldn't walk up and down stairs, and feared she may suffer from additional health issues in the future. She enlisted her daughter and fitness trainer, Michelle, to help and achieved astounding results. She joined a transformation group called The Wonder Women, lost 60 pounds, and now works with her daughter to inspire, motivate, and train others to improve their wellness at any age on Instagram, YouTube, and her program, Train with Joan. Together, they co-authored Flex Your Age, Defy Stereotypes and Reclaim Empowerment. In our conversation, Joan and I talked about what inspired her to finally make a major lifestyle change, how you can change your beliefs about physical health and aging at any age, and how to integrate simple exercises into your daily routine.

How Joan tracks macronutrients to plan her meals to build muscle and lose fat–and why you don't need to be perfect at this to achieve amazing results.

Today, I'm speaking with Dr. Chris Heye, CEO and Founder of Whealthcare Solutions and Whealthcare Planning. Chris is an entrepreneur, writer, researcher, and speaker working in the unique intersection of physical, behavioral, mental, and financial health. His specialty is longevity and cognitive decline risks in retirement, and today's conversation is all about the conversations you need to have with your financial advisor, your estate planning attorney, and even with yourself in order to prevent elder financial abuse. In this episode, Chris and I dig into the experiences with dementia that led him to pursue his career path, how cognitive decline directly impacts one's ability to make sound financial decisions, and when to start making emergency plans to protect yourself, your family, and your legacy. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: Why elders suffering from cognitive decline lose millions of dollars every year. How psychiatrists and other specialists define cognitive decline and the associated conditions–and how this leads to impulsive behavior and overconfidence. Why we're still so far away from a cure for Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. How to put together a team to help take over your financial decision making if and when the time comes–and how to have the important conversations with your family members who don't want to talk about it. Why it's never been more important to stay active, maintain meaningful relationships, take on new challenges, and surround yourself with people you love late in life. How Medicare and Medicaid do (and don't) help with long-term care. Show Notes: Howardbailey.com/393 Rate & Review the Podcast: RetireWithPurpose.com/review Sign Up to Casey's Weekend Reading Email!

In our conversation, Jet shares life lessons from growing up in an orphanage in war-torn Korea before being adopted by an American GI at the age of 11, why a life of leisure in retirement isn't always as fulfilling as we think it's going to be, and how to chart a new course for the decades to come–no matter what life stage you're in right now.

My guest today is Dave Durell. Dave is a fitness coach, blogger, and speaker and has been in the health industry for over 40 years. He has worked as a personal trainer, an NFL strength and training and conditioning coach, and a physical therapist assistant. We came across Dave's work at StrengthAfter50.com, where he shares strength training tips, personal training guidance, and the latest research on fitness. He believes not just in staying strong after 50 but staying strong forever–and it all works a little differently at 50 compared to when we were in our 20s and 30s. In this conversation, Dave and I explore what it means to be fit for life and to be able to live to the fullest. We discuss the benefits of strength training (and why lifting weights isn't just for young people), what fitness programming looks like over 50, and the benefits of tools and tech toys designed to encourage recovery. From there, we dig into what a full-body workout for retirees and pre-retirees might look like, how to get started, and the proper diet to support your body's needs.

In this podcast interview, you'll learn: Why so many retirees suffer when they have the time and the resources to live, but lack physical ability and mobility. Why even putting 5 pounds of muscle on is a huge deal after the age of 50–and why you don't have to train like crazy to achieve it. The reason Dave won't let many of his older clients train more than two days a week. How to avoid getting hurt lifting weights. Why Dave is such a big fan of exercise machines despite their criticisms. The importance of nutrition–and especially protein–in a diet intended to build and keep muscle.

Today's episode is a little different. I had the pleasure of being on Dr. Jordan Grumet's Earn & Invest podcast and absolutely loved the content, so I'm sharing it with you all today. This is an in-depth discussion about what it truly means to find purpose at work, home and in retirement. You might recognize Jordan's name as he was my guest in May of this year. For those that don't know, Jordan was an internal medicine physician before leaving his clinical practice to pursue a passion for deep conversations about money and life. He's the author of Taking Stock: A Hospice Doctor's Advice on Financial Independence, Building Wealth, and Living a Regret-Free Life, a full-time author and podcaster, and a regular contributor to Medscape, MarketWatch, and many other outlets. In this conversation, we covered a wide range of topics, including the story of my own semi-retirement, what it truly means to be job optional, how to unlock your true potential and set yourself up for success before and during retirement. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: What I learned when my son was born with a congenital birth defect and I was forced into semi-retirement for six months. The value of taking sabbaticals well before you retire to start to understand what real retirement feels like. Why the conversations that should be happening with financial planners and retirement coaches don't happen. How to use data to approach retirement given your unique background and circumstances. Why so many people are working in retirement today compared to the previous generation. Ways to think about and approach long-term care planning. The unique roadblocks likely to affect people planning for retirement in the next 20 years.

Today, I'm talking to Dr. Michael Finke, Professor of Wealth Management and the Frank M. Engle Distinguished Chair in Economic Security at the American College. He's the Director of the Granum Center for Financial Security, and he's been my professor a few times throughout my career. I've always been a huge fan of his academic, unbiased approach, and you've undoubtedly seen Michael's work featured here in our Weekend Reading for Retirees email series over the years. He's published over 50 peer-reviewed articles and is widely quoted in many leading consumer publications. In 2021, he co-authored a research paper titled, Guaranteed Income: A License to Spend with David Blanchett, a previous guest of the show, and also co-hosts the Wealth, Managed podcast with David as well. He's been a tremendous resource to me and many others, and I'm thrilled to talk to him today. In our conversation, Michael and I talk about how our eating and investing habits are so intertwined, how to find true happiness and your purpose in retirement, and how risk factors into your income planning, regardless of your risk tolerance. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: How Michael's first career as a food consumption researcher influenced his economic perspective–and the correlation between healthy eating and investing. Why our society gets so distracted by outliers in economics and politics. How risk aversion influences everything we do in investing and retirement. Why annuities are being used more and more for wealth accumulation instead of lifetime income–and how this is changing the perception of annuities. Why so many people can't stand to see the numbers in their bank accounts get smaller in retirement–even if they're overfunded.

My guest today is Dr. Dawn Carr. Dawn is the Associate Professor of Sociology and Director of the Claude Pepper Center in the College of Social Sciences and Public Policy at Florida State University and a former researcher at the Stanford Center of Longevity. She is the co-author of the book, Gerontology in the Era of the Third Age: Implications and Next Steps, where she outlines the key factors that bolster older adults' ability to remain healthy and active for as long as possible. She digs into the complex connections between health and active engagement later in life, focusing on the benefits of paid work, volunteering, and caregiving–and how staying active helps us maintain our cognitive, psychological, and functional well-being. In our conversation, Dawn shares how losing her mother and grandmother within a month of each other changed her life, how people's lives can truly transform for the better during the third age, and three things you can do right now to live a longer, happier life. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: What Dawn learned studying the science of aging by working with very sick older adults. What the "third age" is–and why it's so critical that we make the most of it. How to focus on inner connection, get vulnerable, and dig into what truly matters most to you in life. Why working part-time (or volunteering) has so many of the protective health benefits of full-time work without the same level of commitment. Why nations like Japan experience some of the best longevity in the world–and how we can apply those lessons to our own life.
