Relax, I Got This! Podcast -- Embracing Life After 60
Embracing Life After 60 is a podcast for seniors, adult children, and families navigating the realities of this next chapter. Each episode covers the things that matter most as we age—downsizing, decluttering, aging in place, staying safe, and making thoughtful life transitions with less stress.
You’ll also find conversations about living life to the fullest. We talk about travel, friendships, wellness, purpose, staying active, building new connections, and keeping joy at the center of everyday life. Because aging isn’t just about what’s changing; it’s about what’s still possible.
Guests include Senior Home Advisors, Realtors, longevity specialists, life coaches, and other trusted experts who understand both the emotional and practical sides of growing older. We discuss real decisions families face every day: preparing a home for the future, supporting aging parents, maintaining independence, avoiding scams, and creating a life that feels exciting and meaningful.
Whether you’re planning ahead for yourself or helping someone you love, you’ll find tips, real stories, and clear guidance designed to bring confidence, comfort, and a renewed sense of possibility. Tune in and learn how to move forward with clarity, humor, and the freedom to enjoy this chapter to its fullest.

Episode 86: Embracing Life After 60 - Rethinking Retirement with Anne Van Leynseele
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if retirement isn't the end of your working life... but the beginning of something even more meaningful?
In this episode of Relax, I Got This! Embracing Life After 60, Robin McCoy sits down with Anne Van Leynseele, five-time career reinventor, three-time author, and creator of the Preferment Framework, a research-backed alternative to traditional retirement.
Anne challenges the idea that retirement should simply mean slowing down. With potentially 20, 30, or even 40 years ahead, how can we intentionally create a post-career life filled with purpose, connection, curiosity, and joy?
Together, Robin and Anne explore:
✨ Why financial planning is only one piece of retirement planning
✨ The “Big Three” for quality longevity: thinking, doing, and feeling
✨ How to find purpose and stay relevant after retirement
✨ Why your career skills don't disappear when you stop working
✨ How social connection and meaningful activities support healthy aging
✨ Why adapting your favorite activities can help you stay engaged
✨ How to rediscover interests you put aside years ago
✨ Why hobbies don't need to make money to have value
✨ How downsizing and letting go can create room for your next chapter
✨ Why Anne believes we should replace “retirement” with “Preferment”
Whether you're approaching retirement, already retired, or wondering what you want the next chapter of life to look like, this conversation offers a refreshing way to think about aging, purpose, longevity, and life after 60.
Your career may end. Your relevance, curiosity, and ability to contribute don't have to.
