Episode 11: The Part of Retirement Nobody Prepared You For!

Unlike many retirement courses centered around financial products, Unwrapping Retirement focuses on the person behind the plan. Through coaching, guided questions, and meaningful conversations, the course helps people move from simply preparing financially for retirement to discovering what they truly want this next chapter to look like. In this episode, we discuss: ✔️ Why coaching is different than teaching ✔️ The power of asking better questions ✔️ Why self-discovery takes time ✔️ Rediscovering purpose, community, and joy ✔️ How meaningful conversations can reshape retirement Because retirement isn’t just about reaching the finish line. It’s about discovering what’s possible once you get there.

Episode 10: You saved for retirement...but are you happy?

You did everything right. You worked hard. You saved. You built a plan. But what if you get to retirement… and something still feels off? In this episode of The Retirement Life Podcast, RC Arseneau, Deana Arseneau, Tony Hall, and Madison Justus share the moment everything shifted. RC began noticing a pattern—clients were arriving at retirement financially prepared, yet experiencing very different levels of happiness. At the same time, Deana realized something personal: she might be one of them. That question—why does this happen?—became the catalyst for creating Unwrapping Retirement. Because retirement isn’t just a financial event. It’s a life transition. And most people are missing a plan for what comes next. In this episode, we walk through: ✔️ Why saving money isn’t the full picture ✔️ The gap between financial success and personal fulfillment ✔️ What each of us brings to the conversation ✔️ How Unwrapping Retirement helps you rediscover purpose, connection, and joy ✔️ Why this is a conversation most people aren’t having If you’ve worked hard to get here… this episode will help you start thinking about what you’re actually working toward.

Episode 9: Why Do You Want to Be Alive 10 Years From Now?

In Part 2 of our conversation with Kelley King, the discussion shifts from his Galleri test experience to a deeper question: why do you want to still be here 10 years from now? Many of us say we want to be healthy, but rarely stop to define what that really means or why it matters. Kelley challenges us to think about what we’re living for, and why proactive health decisions matter more than we realize. The conversation also explores a common coping mechanism—avoiding tests or screenings because we’re afraid of what we might learn. But as Kelley explains, if there is a problem, you will eventually know. The real question is when you want to know, because finding out earlier gives you more options. Wellness doesn’t just happen. It requires intention. In the end, you are the CEO of your health. You are the pilot of the plane—and the responsibility for where it goes ultimately falls on you.
