How High Achievers Redefine Success in Retirement

overview

In this episode of The People Dividend Podcast, host Mike Horne sits down with Elizabeth Zelenka Parsons, a retirement transition expert and author of Encore: A High Achiever’s Guide to Thriving in Retirement. Together, they explore how high achievers can find fulfillment, purpose, and meaning beyond financial success as they transition into retirement.

Elizabeth challenges the traditional view of retirement as “the end” of productivity, reframing it as a new chapter of growth and contribution. She explains why redefining success, planning in decades, and building strong relationships are essential for a thriving post-career life.

Whether you’re years away from retirement or already planning your next act, this episode will inspire you to approach the future with curiosity, purpose, and balance.

Quotes

“Leisure has meaning when it's in tension with effort, when it's in tension with something that asks more of us than pure relaxation or fun or just even lighthearted stimulation.” - Elizabeth Parsons
