FR Ep #295 Fresh Courage in Retirement with Sharon Rolph

11/28/22 • 49 min

Today on Feminine Roadmap we are talking with Sharon Rolph about finding fresh courage in retirement. Sharon desires that each person finds purpose, essence, and fulfillment in their retirement years. Finding fresh courage in retirement means identifying what you love to do, your talents, abilities, values and what lights you up. As those things become apparent, she encourages listeners to honor and love that gift in you. Often women have a feeling of invisibility after a certain age and then that compounds after retirement. Who are we once we no longer have a business card to define us or children at home to focus on? Instead of becoming emotionally distant, isolated, bored or depressed in this season, we can find meaningful activity. Finding fresh courage in retirement looks like focusing on what makes us strong, controlling our fears and thoughts then using our imagination to focus on what we can do. Imagine new horizons with curiosity and an attitude of possibility. Get excited about finding that purpose every day, living in alignment with the person you are becoming. Sharon encouraged listeners to hold a space for themselves to do and be something different. Finding fresh courage is reframing what we can do now with satisfaction and fulfillment. If you are in this season of life, please grab a cuppa something wonderful and join us for this conversation. Be encouraged, you can find fresh courage in retirement!
