What era are you ready to step into? Take the Next Era quiz and find out: https://schoolofselfimage.com/quiz-pod If you've ever caught yourself fantasizing about retirement – the beach house, the Paris apartment, the day when you can finally exhale – this episode is for you.  So many women I know are living for "over there." Over there, when the money is handled. Over there, when the kids are grown. Over there, when we hit the number, lose the weight, build the business, or finally step away. Then, we'll enjoy our lives. But what if you didn't have to wait to retire to start living beautifully? What if "retirement" isn't about escaping your life… but redesigning it? In this episode, we're exploring:   • Why the retirement fantasy is really about a feeling – and how to access that feeling now • What actually happens to people after they retire (it's not what you'd expect) • The real reason you want to burn it all down (hint: it's probably not the work itself) • Why changing your circumstances won't change your life if the same thinking comes with you • A mindset shift that turns "I can't wait to retire" into "I'm living my life now" • Two questions that will show you exactly what you've been putting off – and why you can stop waiting Did you enjoy this episode?
