Prioritizing Self-Care in Your Retirement Years


Hi Reader,

Retirement planning can be daunting, especially for women who often prioritize others over themselves.

How can women balance self-care with financial planning? What strategies can help them thrive in retirement?

Taylor Elyse Morrison turned being bad at self-care—and being firmly convinced of every human’s potential—into a career. She’s the founder of Inner Workout and the award-winning author of a book by the same name. Named one of Fortune’s 10 Innovators Shaping the Future of Health, Taylor is tired of aspirational 'wellness as usual.' Instead, makes well-being and personal development more accessible.

Eric Blake welcomes Taylor to discuss the importance of self-care, particularly for women navigating the complexities of retirement planning and caregiving.

On paper, the “math” might have said to keep it, but that’s why "financial" planning is not always about the numbers. Just a few years ago, they felt stuck because of debt.

The feeling of accomplishment and optimism they shared far outweighed what any...

I recently joined Purse Strings’ “Money Talks” conversation with co-founders, Dr. Barbara Provost and Maggie Nielsen.
