## Resource

Retirement isn’t just about money… it’s about purpose, connection, happiness, and creating a life you truly enjoy. In this episode, I sit down with retirement author and speaker Martin Hurlburt to talk about what makes retirement meaningful, how fear can hold us back, and why community matters more than ever after leaving the workforce. Martin also shares two incredible FREE resources designed to help retirees live happier, more fulfilling lives. 📘 Get a FREE copy of The Happy Retirement Handbook: https://storiesofretirement.com/free-resources 📘 Buy a copy of How David Defeated Fear or watch the FREE video version: https://howdaviddefeatedfear.com/books One of Martin’s most powerful ideas is encouraging retirees to meet weekly in small groups to discuss one chapter or step at a time. Retirement can sometimes feel isolating — but it doesn’t have to. Whether you're newly retired, planning retirement, or searching for more joy and purpose in this next chapter, this conversation is full of practical wisdom and encouragement. ✨ If you enjoyed this video, please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE it with someone approaching retirement. #retirement #happy retirement, #retirement planning, #retirement lifestyle #life starts at retirement
