A Year-End Reset: Protecting Health, Judgment, and Retirement Decisions

The holidays often bring more than celebration. Shorter days, disrupted routines, family obligations, and year-end financial noise can quietly drain energy and cloud judgment. Many people don’t realize how much stress and poor sleep influence their decision-making, especially when it comes to retirement. In this episode, Certified Retirement Counselor Mark Struthers explores how protecting basic health habits during the busiest time of the year can support clearer thinking and better financial outcomes. Rather than chasing perfection, Mark focuses on simple ways to reduce reactivity and preserve judgment when it matters most. Listen in to hear how prioritizing sleep, pausing emotional financial moves, and reflecting on what actually worked this year can help you move through the holidays with more clarity and set the stage for a healthier, wiser start to the year ahead.   Curious about working with Mark?
