For many, retirement is a long-awaited milestone, a time to celebrate newfound freedom. But that freedom can sometimes come with a cost in the loss of structure and purpose.
That's exactly what happened to Nick Shelton, who retired early at 49 to live out his dream of an "endless summer." But it didn't take long for him to realize that a life of perpetual vacation wasn't as fulfilling as he'd imagined.
Feeling confused and invisible, Nick began a journey of reinvention, learning how to release his pre-retirement identity and build a new one.
In this episode, Nick shares the five-step process he used to rebuild his identity—a process he now uses to guide others through similar transitions—and how he found a new purpose that motivates him every day.
