Episode Summary
You’ve waved goodbye to the daily grind...but did your social life clock out too?
Retirement might promise peace and quiet but for many, it delivers something else entirely: loneliness. In this honest and insightful episode, Steve Rowe and Jess Schlupp-Taylor explore the surprising social slump that can follow the end of your working life.
From missing the office banter to wondering who you’ll even do lunch with, they get real about the emotional and financial cost of losing everyday connections.
