I recently spent some time away on vacation, which got me thinking deeply about retirement, purpose, and the ongoing challenge of finding meaning in our everyday lives. While watching some older couples spend hours together on their boats, I found myself questioning not just what they talked about, but also how I view my own future and the idea of slowing down. From leaving a corporate career I couldn’t stand to building a financial advisory firm that truly fulfills me, I share my ongoing struggle with the gap between knowing we want change and actually taking the necessary steps. I’ve learned, both as a podcast host and advisor, that self-awareness is just the first step; turning that awareness into action is often the hardest part, especially without a dramatic wake-up call pushing us forward. As we celebrate 200 episodes, I wanted to pass along three key takeaways from this milestone episode that might spark some reflection in your own life and career: ·       Awareness is the First Step, But Action is Hardest ·       Financial Planning is (Mostly) Emotional ·       Strive for Harmony, Not Balance Thank you to everyone who has tuned into the podcast, whether it’s been for one episode or 200. Here’s to continuing the conversation and helping more people find their own version of harmony.
