This show is for unique women dreaming to soon retire blissfully. In reality, many women are uncertain about what retirement means for them. It is not just a date. It can be potentially a long time, and many could live for another thirty years.

As a matter of fact, they worry more about other areas that have a significant impact. Life in retirement is so much more than having enough money to spend. Maria's passion inspires anyone to change perspectives, and to plan ahead to gain control of this next phase in life. This fun, educational and interactive show talks about a variety of retirement topics with guest experts and contributions from other women around the world. You'll see that you are not the only one who is unsure about life in retirement. Each show provides ideas, resources and tipping points to plan a blissful retirement.

Releasing Fear and Embracing Freedom Through Water to Retire with Confidence
Episode 72
Thursday, 12 February, 2026
EPISODE DESCRIPTION Retirement is not a slow winding down. It is a threshold. And the question is not, "Do I have enough?" The real question is, "Am I willing to step in fully?" So many women arrive at this chapter financially prepared… yet quietly constrained. Constrained by old stories about aging. By hesitation about their bodies. By subtle fears of looking foolish, failing, or not being "naturally good" at something new. In this powerful and encouraging conversation, I sit down with Cori Myka, founder of Calm Within Adult Swim, to talk about something deceptively simple — learning to swim as an adult. Because learning to swim later in life is not really about swimming. It's about stepping into the unknown. It's about rebuilding trust with your body. It's about calming fear instead of fighting it. It's about choosing expansion over limitation. We talk about fear, brain health, resilience, and why choosing something new in this season of life can reignite confidence everywhere else. If there is something you have been avoiding — travel, movement, reinvention, visibility, even joy — this conversation may be the nudge you didn't know you needed.
