Because I'm in New Zealand, some of the support discussed in the podcast isn't available here but I’ve used EPA (employee assistance) and then WellElder counseling, both of which I recommend.
Technically I'm on sabbatical until next year, then back to work for a couple of years, but it all still applies.
I'm using my Kiwisaver provider tools and Retirement Commission data to plan ahead and double check my current and future budgeting.
I’m also trying some new things during this time (until next surgery anyway), like a retirement trial.
Listening with great interest, thank you.

I expect to listen to this several times!
