WIL Talk #171: Redesigning Life After Work – Teresa Amabile on the Psychology of Retirement
What if retirement isn’t the end—but the beginning of your next purpose?
In this eye-opening episode of the WIL Talk Podcast, host Vicki Bradley sits down with Teresa Amabile, Harvard researcher and expert on the psychology of retirement, to talk about the emotional side of leaving a career and how to do it with clarity, confidence, and joy.
From identity loss to the fear of losing purpose, Teresa shares her “Four A’s” framework—Alignment, Awareness, Agency, and Adaptability to help women rethink what retirement really means and design a life they love on the other side of work.
Key Takeaways:
- Retirement is more than financial it’s emotional and personal.
- Identity, structure, and purpose are often the biggest transitions.
- The Four A’s can help create a fulfilling, empowered post-career life.
