If you’re in your 50s or 60s and thinking about retirement — or already standing in the middle of that transition — this video is for you. Over the last decade, I’ve worked closely with hundreds of people in their 60s and 70s. Not just talking about finances or retirement plans, but having real, honest conversations about what retirement actually feels like once you’re living it. What surprised me most wasn’t how different their lives were — it was how similar their reflections were. In this video, I share the most common lessons people in their 70s say they wish they had understood earlier, when they were around 50. These aren’t dramatic regrets or extreme “bucket list” ideas. They’re quieter insights about time, energy, identity, health, purpose, relationships, and what really matters as you move into the next chapter of life. This is not a technical video about money, investments, or superannuation. It’s a calm, thoughtful conversation about the inner side of retirement — the part many people don’t realise they needed to prepare for until they’re already there. We talk about why the 50s and early 60s are a unique window of opportunity, and why so many people don’t recognise it while they’re in it. We explore how time actually changes as you age, why “later” doesn’t feel the way you think it will, and why postponing the meaningful things often leads to quiet regret. We also talk about something that slowly disappears during midlife without most people noticing: renewal. The activities and moments that restore your energy, help you feel like yourself, and make life feel meaningful beyond productivity and responsibility. Many retirees say they didn’t realise how depleted they were until they finally stopped working — and by then, it took time to remember what actually filled them back up. This video also explores why saying “yes” for too long can quietly drain you, why learning to say “no” is a critical skill before retirement, and how your relationship with time changes as you move out of your working years. We talk honestly about health — not in a cosmetic sense, but in terms of strength, mobility, mental wellbeing, and your ability to fully participate in your own life as you age. Another major theme in this conversation is identity. Many people are surprised by how much of who they are has been tied to their work, and how disorienting it can feel when that role ends. We explore why buying things, staying busy, or making dramatic changes doesn’t always answer the deeper question of purpose — and what actually does. We also talk about the emotional side of retirement that no one prepares you for: the loss of structure, routine, and built-in social connection. Why some people feel restless, flat, or lost in the first year or two of retirement — even when everything looks “fine” on the outside — and why this doesn’t mean you’re doing retirement wrong. Relationships play a huge role in how fulfilling retirement feels, and we talk about why community, friendship, and meaningful connection become even more important as work-based relationships fade. Many people in their 70s say they wish they’d invested more intentionally in friendships and community earlier, before loneliness became a problem. Finally, we talk about one of the biggest differences between retirees who feel deeply fulfilled and those who feel adrift: whether they retired away from something or toward something. Escaping stress and exhaustion is important, but it’s not enough on its own. The most content retirees are the ones who intentionally moved toward meaning, contribution, learning, growth, and connection. If you’re navigating the retirement transition — whether you’re five years away, newly retired, or somewhere in between — this video will help you slow down, reflect, and think more intentionally about what you want this next chapter to look like.
