In this solo reflection episode, Jacquie unpacks the biggest insights from her conversation with Kim Costa (author of Live in Your Wheelhouse) and translates them into practical questions listeners can use to evaluate whether their current home still fits the life they want in retirement. The throughline: your home isn’t just a building—it’s a support system for your health, relationships, routines, and sense of peace.Why this matters (the “retire TO” connection)Retirement isn’t only a financial transition—it’s a lifestyle transition. Jacquie invites listeners to think proactively about what they’re retiring to: a daily rhythm, a community, and an environment that supports who they are now (not who they were 20 years ago).What we coveredWhy a “forever home” can stop fitting as your life evolvesThe idea of evaluating your home based on how it supports your lifestyle—not just your stuffKim Costa’s Wheelhouse Method: looking at life in eight dimensions to spot what’s out of syncOptions beyond moving: renovating, downsizing, repurposing rooms, and experimenting with new routinesThe often-forgotten role of spirituality/grounding and nature in retirement happinessTiming: avoiding the stress of waiting too long (or moving too quickly)Living authentically in your “third life” and letting go of stereotypes about what retirement should look likeKey takeawaysYour home should support your life stage. What worked at 25 may not work at 55 or 65.A home decision is also a life decision. It impacts your mobility, energy, relationships, and joy.Not every solution requires a move. Small changes can create big alignment.Don’t ignore the “soft” needs. Peace, sunlight, nature, and spiritual grounding matter.Plan before it becomes urgent. The best moves are made from choice, not pressure.WANT TO KICKSTART YOUR RETIREMENT JOURNEY?Start here: https://beyondretirement.ca/start-here/Book a FREE call with Jacquie: https://calendly.com/jacquiedoucette/discoveryCheck out the Beyond Retirement Library: https://placeforbooks.com
