## Resource

Today, we are going to have a thoughtful conversation around retirement. How to understand it, gain a new perspective, and ultimately do it well. Retirement is one of life’s biggest transitions. My guest today, Chris Maduri, shares that people need the mindset and preparation to retire to something and not just from something. Chris Maduri has spent nearly two decades working in retirement and investment planning, helping people prepare for one of life’s biggest transitions: Retirement - the moment work stops defining the structure of their days. Today, Chris works at the intersection of financial clarity and personal clarity, helping people navigate retirement and life’s transitions with steadiness, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose. In today’s episode, Chris shares: “What tends to surprise people the most emotionally when they start slowing down or stepping away from work?” “How can someone begin discovering purpose before they retire instead of scrambling after?” “What questions should people be asking themselves 3–5 years before retirement?” “What becomes possible when someone approaches retirement with intention instead of fear?” “What are some non-financial habits or rhythms people should start building now?” “How important is structure in retirement, and what happens when it’s missing?” CONNECT WITH CHRIS MADURI: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopher-maduri-69a1032/ X: https://x.com/CoverYrAssets Website: https://vibrantretirement.com/ CONNECT WITH DEBI Website – https://www.debironca.com Instagram - @debironca Email – info@debironca.com Free Group Coaching - https://debi.sequoiatransitioncoaching.com/group-coaching YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@DebiRoncaOfficial Amy Throw | Stylist & Image CoachI style women in clothes they love & buil…
