It's Your Life: Live It! Beyond Retirement with Jacquie Doucette
from Happiest Retirees · host Ryan Doolittle
As Americans, we tend to believe our jobs define us. Think about that last time you met someone new. What’s the first thing you asked? “So what do you do?” How we make a living is so ingrained in our self-worth recipe that we often neglect the other ingredients. Jacquie Doucette wants to change all that. She says our jobs don’t define us, and she’s dedicated to helping people remember some of those other ingredients. What did you love before you got locked into your career? Is it possible you might still love those things? Jacquie says retirement means doing what you want when you want. In other words, she can help show you what you love to do now that you have time to do what you couldn’t do before you did what you did. After all, this is your life. You might as well live it.
