From the RETIREMENT SERIES
Hey Girlie, Is Retirement Starting to Feel More Blah Than Bliss?
Stress, Loneliness, and Boredom Are Sneakier Than Wrinkles—But Don’t Worry, We’ve Got the Fix.
You’ve officially entered retirement: no alarm clocks, no endless Zoom meetings, and no more pretending to care about Jan from HR’s gluten-free casserole. So… why are you still feeling stressed, restless, and—dare we say—kind of lonely?
Because no one warned you about the emotional rollercoaster that can come after the retirement party ends.
The truth? Too many women slip into a retirement rut where stress, isolation, and boredom quietly creep in and rob them of the joy they worked so hard to earn. That’s the crisis. But this book? This is the comeback.
From international #1 bestselling author Veronica Goldspiel comes the must-have guide to making your retirement feel less like “meh” and more like “OMG I can’t believe I get to do this.”

Great Ideas Especially for Women Retiring!
The author has a great voice (with humor) to suggest ideas to keep retirement interesting. Though similar, a woman’s experience can be different than a man’s. This book takes a decidedly feminine approach while staying positive and encouraging.

Inspirational
This book was much needed as I get anxious about what I will do in retirement. It is a quandary for many people and can be anxiety-provoking. Many of us have identified ourselves in a career or parental role. This book gave me so many ideas and eased my anxiety. The advice to always want to learn something new and to not take myself too seriously was very helpful.
