What if the “best years of your life” turned out to be the loneliest, most confusing, and overwhelming?
Most people dream of retirement as the “happiest chapter” of life: more time, more freedom, finally the reward after decades of work. But here’s the shocking truth: for many women, retirement is when depression, loss of identity, and lack of purpose begin.
In this episode of the TRUE Wellness Podcast, Dr. Dee sits down with Maria Lucassen, CEO of Maria Lucassen Coaching and author of The Retirement Collective. With 45+ years of corporate experience and her own joyful transition story, Maria now helps women navigate the emotional, mental, and practical side of retirement—so they can not just retire, but truly reinvent themselves.
Maria reveals why retirement isn’t just about finances, but about rediscovering purpose, staying bold and curious, and creating a life that feels vibrant and intentional.
This conversation will change the way you (or the women you love) think about retirement forever.
