This episode centers on redefining retirement as an exciting “next chapter” rather than an ending, with a big focus on planning, purpose, and identity in later life. Lisa Haynes shares the key ideas behind her “Retired and Killing It” formula, while Diane Gilman adds real-world perspective as a late-career retiree navigating money, meaning, and reinvention.
Episode overview

Diane Gilman, host of Too Young to Be Old, sits down with Lisa Haynes, former CFO turned retirement strategist and author of Retired and Killing It, to talk about what really happens after you stop working full-time. They dig into the emotional and psychological side of retirement that no one warns you about—identity loss, income shifts, social changes—and how to design a life you’re genuinely excited to wake up to.

In this episode:
Why “pre-tirement” planning matters just as much as financial planning, and what most people overlook in the years leading up to retirement.
Lisa’s “killing it” framework: eight key elements that help you move from “from what” (your old career) to “to what” (your next purpose), instead of drifting or feeling blindsided.
How to rethink work in retirement: side hustles, consulting, part-time income, and passion projects that protect your savings and your sense of self.
The identity shift no one talks about—who are you when you’re no longer your job title?—and how to find a new definition of worth and contribution.
The mental side of longevity: if you might live to 90, 100, or beyond, how do you fund it, and what will make those decades meaningful?
Why multi-generational friendships, staying curious, and “keeping your mind moving” are as important as staying physically active.


Key themes and takeaways
Retirement is not just “stopping work”; it’s a transition into something new that needs a real plan, not just a savings number.
You are good at more than one thing: the skills from your first career can become a new business, a second career, or meaningful volunteer work.
Purpose and passion are non-negotiable: they fuel energy, protect against depression, and make longer lives worth living.
Avoid the “age ghetto”: surround yourself with multiple generations and new ideas so you don’t mentally retire from life.
Your retirement should not look like anyone else’s—not your parents’, not your peers’—and that’s a good thing.
