Episode 38 - Pioneering Purpose-Driven Financial Planning

Ruth Sturkey, a former Chartered Financial Planner and creator of the 1,000 Weeks blog discusses her transition from a successful career in finance to exploring new possibilities and passions in her sixties.  She challenges the traditional concept of retirement as a fixed endpoint and encourages viewers to view life as a series of chapters, each offering opportunities for growth, purpose, and joy. Sturkey emphasizes the importance of prioritising wellbeing in all areas of life, including career, relationships, community, physical health, and finances. She also highlights the need for financial planners to engage in deeper conversations with clients, helping them align their financial decisions with their values and aspirations.
