Conquering the Fear Factor: Retirement and Empty Nesting

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 nearly every one of the 30 million American women aged 40 to 60. Through intensive research, including 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.
