Ginny shares how rural transit systems provide essential access to jobs, healthcare, education, and independence for the people they serve.

What if doing less could actually give you more? Author and minimalist Christine Platt, known as The Afrominimalist, joins us to explore how letting go of clutter—physical and emotional—can lead to a life of greater intention, peace, and purpose. Her new book, Less Is Liberating, challenges the myth that our worth is tied to our busyness or possessions. In this conversation, Christine opens up about her own transformation—from attorney, federal government leader, to writer and minimalist—and shares how living with less helped her rediscover herself after parenting, career, and overwhelm. If you've ever struggled with the question “Who am I now?” or felt burdened by the weight of “shoulds,” you'll want to listen closely. This episode is about redefining freedom—not just freedom from, but freedom for—the life you truly want in retirement. Christine Platt joins us from Washington, DC. In This Conversation, You'll Learn: - How Christine's minimalist journey began—and what she discovered about consumerism and identity. - Why overwhelm became her “baseline” and how she learned to listen to her body's warning signs. - What the “five wells” of wellness reveal about balance and self-care. - How limiting beliefs form—and how they shape our behavior long after we leave work. - The powerful distinction between freedom from and freedom for in retirement. - How to reclaim your time, your energy, and your sense of self. _______________________ Bio Christine Platt is the author of Less Is Liberation: Finding Freedom from a Life of Overwhelm. a multi-hyphenate, multi-genre author whose work centers the journey of personal liberation—inviting readers to examine, release, and reimagine the narratives that shape their lives. From adult fiction and lifestyle to children's literature and cultural commentary, Christine's expansive body of work defies genre limitations by centering an empowering throughline: understanding and achieving personal liberation. With each book, Christine affirms what she knows to be true: liberation is not a destination—it is a way of being. And through the power of storytelling, she helps others find their way. Christine holds a Bachelor of Arts in Africana Studies, Master of Arts in African and African-American Studies, and a Juris Doctorate from Stetson University College of Law. _______________________ For More on Christine Platt Less Is Liberation: Finding Freedom from a Life of Overwhelm Website _______________________ Podcast Episodes You May Like Keep the Memories, Lose the Stuff – Matt Paxton The Joy of Saying No – Natalie Lue Stop People Pleasing – Hailey Magee ________________________ About The Retirement Wisdom Podcast There are many podcasts on retirement, often hosted by financial advisors with their own financial motives, that cover the money side of the street.

In today's episode, I'm joined by Dr. Katie Best, a leadership coach, consultant, and author whose career has been shaped by asking one central question: what are the problems leaders struggle with most — and how can we solve them?Katie is the founder of Katie Best Associates, she teaches on the MBA Essentials Programme at the London School of Economics, and is a Visiting Senior Research Fellow at King's College London. Most recently, she became an author with her new book The 10 Toughest Leadership Problems.Her journey into writing the book began, not in a quiet academic office, but in the middle of the pandemic. Katie began mapping out the recurring challenges she'd seen across decades of coaching and executive education. What she noticed was powerful: no matter the industry or seniority, leaders kept coming with the same tough problems. Out of that work, the SOLVE framework was born.In This Conversation we trace Katie's journey from consultant and educator to author, and explore the big themes in her book:Personal Effectiveness  -  Why leaders today are carrying jobs that are simply “too big,” and how to tell the difference between organizational overload and self-imposed pressure.Influence  - How the art of influence has shifted in flatter, matrixed organizations, and why relationships and trust are more persuasive than data alone.Managing Performance  - Reframing those dreaded “difficult conversations” as an act of service and growth, rather than conflict.Culture and Values  - What it means to “just be a good human” in pressured workplaces, and how to recover when leaders get derailed.Leadership is hard -  and yet it can also be deeply fulfilling. Katie reminds us that fulfillment comes when leaders find roles and organizations where they can bring their authentic selves to work, and be valued for what they uniquely contribute.Her book is both a handbook for solving problems and a guide to building resilience. By working through the challenges, leaders don't just fix what's broken — they grow skills that carry into every part of their work and life.ResourcesDr. Katie Best's book: The 10 Toughest Leadership Problems Learn more about Dr Katie Best

If you're frustrated by weight gain, depleted energy, or feel like your metabolism suddenly hit a wall, you're not alone—especially if you're navigating the hormonal rollercoaster of perimenopause or menopause. In this empowering episode, health journalist Natalie Tysdal is joined by Stephanie Crassweller, international speaker, master's-level nutrition coach, and host of the Metabolism and Menopause Podcast. Together, they dive into the not-so-obvious drivers behind women's metabolism in midlife—and what you can actually do about them. Expect practical strategies, compassionate insight, and the truth about why “eat less, move more” simply isn't the answer for women in this season of life. Learn how to work with your shifting hormones and stress response—not against them—to support sustainable energy, metabolism, and well-being. 3 Key Takeaways from This Episode Stress is the Unsung Metabolism Saboteur Chronic stress and elevated cortisol disrupt everything from sleep and gut health to thyroid function, making it harder to burn fat and easier to gain weight. Recognizing and managing stress is essential to healing your metabolism. Eating Less Isn't Always Better Undereating and inconsistent fueling push your body into fight-or-flight mode, increasing inflammation and triggering metabolic slowdown. For many women, doing less with more intention works better than pushing harder. Hormones Change the Metabolic Game As estrogen and progesterone decline, the body loses its built-in stress protection, exposing hidden issues with blood sugar, thyroid, and inflammation. Understanding your hormonal landscape helps you make changes that work for your unique body.

In this episode, she explains how stress, sleep, under-fueling, and hormone shifts affect metabolism, especially in perimenopause and menopause. She and Natalie discuss how even “healthy” processed foods and common dieting advice can work against women's health goals. Instead, they share how to simplify nutrition, embrace whole foods, support hormone balance, and develop easy habits that reduce stress and increase energy. This is a must-listen if you've ever wondered why your body feels different as you age—or if you've felt frustrated watching men lose weight faster with less effort.
