On this week's edition of The Heather Taylor Show, we'll tackle the fear factor: how to retire fearlessly, and how to make a comfortable transition from a home inhabited by our children to an "empty nest". (The show is a rebroadcast from October 31, 2007.)
Scarier Than Ghosts and Goblins?
What's scarier than ghosts and goblins on Halloween? Not being ready for retirement! But taking away the fear doesn't simply involve smart financial planning, according to Randy Burnham, clinical psychologist and co-founder of My Next Phase, a retirement planning company. Burnham is a co-author of a new book, My Next Phase, The Personality-Based Guide to Your Best Retirement. He joins me to talk about how "personality, not your bank account, holds the key to a successful retirement."
Entering the Empty Nest Phase With Confidence
How many women are emotionally ready for the so-called empty nest stage of their lives? According to clinical psychologist and journalist Dr. Carin Rubenstein, the answer is most of the 30 million American women between the ages of 40 and 60. Through intensive research and conducting over one thousand interviews, Rubenstein discovered that Boomer women are "redefining themselves, reconnecting to friends, jobs and spouses, and creating full, rich lives afer their mommy roles have waned." Dr. Rubenstein joins me to talk about her new book, Beyond the Mommy Years, How to Live Happily Ever After...After the Kids Leave Home.

Panel Discussion led by Heather Taylor with Ginger Pape & Julie Jansen
Heather Taylor, host of The Heather Taylor Show, Boomer Radio in the Nation’s Capital on WMET 1160 AM moderates a Q & A event with Ginger Pape, co-author with Diana Holman of Repotting and Julie Jansen, author of I Don’t Know What I Want, But I Know It’s Not This, about finding satisfaction and balance in our work and personal lives.
For every woman who feels stuck in her current life, there is now an answer: “repotting.” Repotting: 10 Steps for Redesigning Your Life is for 21st-century women who don’t need a better daily planner—they need a better life. Diana Holman and Ginger Pape give you the answers to the question: “How do I change my life?” No matter where you are on your life’s journey, you can apply the ten-step process and come away with a personal repotting plan.
I Don’t Know What I Want, But I Know It’s Not This is the perfect guide if you want to find gratifying work but aren’t sure how to get started. Author Julie Jansen, now in her fifth career, gives simple, actionable steps for six situations that are typical of disgruntled workers (i.e., where’s the meaning; bored and plateaued; and yearning to be on your own) in this inexpensive manual. Taking you step-by-step through the process, Jansen urges readers to start by looking inward.
Have a great week and keep in touch!
