Welcome back to the Retirement Concepts Podcast with Lionel O’Mally from Purpose Planning and Peter Graham from Redefining Retirement. In this episode, we explore one of the most overlooked stages of retirement — the Go Slow Years — and why understanding this phase is key to living a more fulfilling life.

We unpack what the Go Slow Years really look like, how they can be triggered by health, mindset, or even lifestyle choices, and why many people unintentionally enter this stage earlier than expected. Lionel and Peter share insights on how to extend your more active years, maintain your health and independence, and avoid common pitfalls like underspending, boredom, and social isolation.

You’ll also learn why having purpose, staying socially connected, and making intentional financial decisions can dramatically improve your retirement experience — plus practical strategies to help you take action now rather than “later.”
