While retirement plans cover the numbers, they miss the critical 80%: your purpose, growth, and fulfillment. 

In this episode of Retirement Without Numbers™, host Carla Garcia interviews Dr. Bill Carroll, a retired chemist and entrepreneur. Dr. Carroll shares his personal journey of navigating retirement depression and finding new meaning beyond his 36-year career. He opens up about the challenges of transitioning out of a traditional job, battling feelings of shame, and eventually crafting a new path. 

Discover practical tips for finding purpose and fulfillment in retirement, all without focusing on just the numbers.

• Retirement Wellness: Discover how “retirement wellness” is pioneering a new branch of financial wellness that focuses on purpose, well-being, and personal growth—redefining what it means to truly thrive after retirement.
