Today's episode will help you understand the importance of increasing your awareness of your limiting beliefs in midlife. When you're in midlife, your decades of experience and life make it easy to believe what you think; sometimes that means your automatic thinking. When you make a specific effort to look for thoughts about what you may think you're too old to do, what you find out can be revealing. You may believe limiting beliefs about what you can really do, think, feel, and try on purpose. This will make it harder for you to fulfill your dreams.

I've shared my messy retirement journey. And we've discussed the 7 skills we need to navigate retirement in the 21st century.Today, I want to walk you through a framework that I've been working on.

It's the result of extensive research, including reading numerous articles and books, listening to relevant podcasts, and conducting interviews with individuals who have successfully navigated their retirement and those who are in the planning stages.IN THIS EPISODE Why a framework is useful when planning for modern retirement How a framework works, and how it's different from a methodology The 5 disciplines in the framework The Modern Retiree Manifesto FOOTNOTES Stanford Center on Longevity Ep 206 What Even Is Retirement Anymore?

You may have experienced burnout. According to our guest, there is a spectrum and on one end a spa visit or a break may help but on the other end, your commitment to work will dominate your existence and in some cases will be a tipping point to depression or worse. Kelly Swingler experienced burnout twice as a highly successful corporate executive. The first time it made her very ill and the second time it nearly cost her her life. She shares her story and ways to manage your life to avoid burnout. This is an important conversation with an expert who has made it her life's work to help others prevent and/or stop burnout. *This is a podcast interview and not intended to be mental health advice. Please consult with your trusted healthcare professional for your health-related questions. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: What is burnout. Stacy's story of burnout twice. The first time put her in and out of the hospital for 7 months. The second time nearly killed her. Why she is on a mission to educate others about burnout and to help prevent it. How her 12-year old twin boys became her wake-up call. How burnout can you leave you not thinking clearly. Three things for everyone to think about for prevention and recovery Who are you? Who are presenting to be? Which parts are you fearful to present? Identity drives everything we do. Core values, core beliefs. Keep asking “Who are you?” when in dialogue. Go as deep as you can. 2. Implement boundaries. Ex, I need to leave every day to have dinner with my family at 6pm. 3. Set aside time for things that make you happy and have that dedicated time in your calendar.
