The first six months of retirement may be the easy part. At first, there may be travel, projects, and long-awaited plans to fill the time. But once the dust settles, retirement can begin to feel very different.

Psychotherapist Austin Dowling joins me again on Chapter X to talk about what can surface after the initial transition. We explore loneliness, identity, self-reliance, and the challenge of adjusting habits that may have served us well throughout our careers.

We covered:


  • Why loneliness often appears after the first few months of retirement 

  • How senior roles can make relationships feel increasingly transactional 

  • Why successful people may struggle to ask for help 

  • How over-scheduling can become another way to avoid discomfort 

  • How to adapt your career strengths instead of leaving them behind
