Summary
In Chapter 6 of the podcast, J. Thorn discusses the significance of not just surviving, but thriving after experiencing traumatic events or identity-shifting changes. The “Reward” is the badge earned for surviving the ordeal, but it can lead to disillusionment when it doesn’t feel as expected, a sentiment often experienced by retirees. While the core identity remains, the outlook changes, and there is a stronger drive to assist the next generation. This stage is not easy, and new challenges and obstacles will emerge. The “Call to Adventure” must be heeded again, guiding one home to share wisdom with loved ones and leave a legacy for future generations. https://theauthorlife.com/chapter-6-return-your-reward-and-the-road-back/
