Retirement Is a Terrible Time to Slow Down; Advice from a Retired Communications Director

What happens when you retire after 21 years in a demanding career? If you're Janet Kacskos, apparently you get even busier!

After retiring as Director of Communications at Millersville University, Janet had big plans to play golf, work out, and enjoy a little more free time. Instead, she started her own communications business, became a volunteer advocate for children, joined two golf leagues, and discovered that retirement can be a whole new adventure.

In this episode of Unexpected Advice, Esther sits down with her neighbor Janet to talk about knowing when it's time to retire, trusting your gut, and finding purpose beyond your career.

Along the way, they explore the importance of making new friends, spending time with people of different generations, and staying curious and connected as life changes. Plus, there's a little talk about neighborhood dogs, because sometimes that's the best way to meet your neighbors!

Janet's advice is a refreshing reminder that retirement isn't necessarily about slowing down. It's about having the freedom to choose what keeps you moving.

🎧 Whether retirement is decades away, right around the corner, or already underway, this conversation might just change how you think about your next chapter.
