The Exciting Journey of Self-Discovery After Parenting RECONNECT WITH YOUR TRUE SELF
We dedicate our lives to our children. There’s no doubt about that, and we’re not talking a few years. We spend more than 18 years giving every part of ourselves to each child. Then, the inevitable happens: They grow up! Our kids are no longer kids, and they move on to college or move out, and suddenly, we’re on our own. After all these years, it can feel impossible to remember how to live for yourself. What do you enjoy? What do you want to do from now on? Who are you without your children? These can all be questions swirling around in your head as you get closer to having an empty nest. As you spend more time on your own, you need to start a journey of self-discovery. What have you been too busy to do as a parent? What hobbies have you left behind due to the hustle and bustle? What friendships and connections do you wish to re-spark? If you’re struggling to understand yourself, what you want, and who you want to be, practicing therapeutic activities first can give you a better idea. One way you can reconnect with your true self is by spending more time reflecting. You can try any of the following: • Mindfulness meditation • Journaling • Creating a vision board • Yoga • Volunteering • Beginning a new hobby
All these activities allow you to dig deeper into yourself, your desires, values, and your place in the world. It can be scary starting over again. But it’s time to start seeing this as a whole new beginning, one that’s as exciting as it is nerve-wracking. You have so many opportunities open to you now! Think of all the travels you can have now on your own. Imagine all the free time you can spend on fitness, reading, socializing, and more. Finding yourself again doesn’t have to be a bad thing. You’re entering a whole new era of your life where you’ll experience new freedoms that you haven’t experienced in two decades or more. Reclaim your life and enjoy it to the fullest!
A DECADE IN REVIEW Celebrating Robin’s 10 Years at Wolf Retirement
On Jan. 27, 2024, Wolf Retirement’s very own Robin is achieving a significant milestone as she celebrates her 10th year with the company. From being Adam’s first employee to evolving into an integral part of the Wolf Retirement team, Robin’s journey has been remarkably exciting, to say the least! A decade ago, when Adam first opened the doors to Wolf Retirement, Robin embarked on a new chapter in her career. With a background in marketing, customer service, and event planning, she initially stepped into the financial industry without prior experience. Reflecting on her journey, Robin shares, “The last 10 years have been amazing. I was Adam’s very first employee, and alongside the company, I’ve excelled.” In a field that was initially outside her comfort zone, Robin thrived. Throughout
the years, she not only honed her existing skills but also developed a profound understanding of the financial landscape. “Even when I felt that something was out of my wheelhouse or I wasn’t quite sure if I could tackle a specific task, Adam was there cheering me on. He had all the faith and confidence in me, and because of his support and encouragement, I’ve truly grown,” Robin explains. Robin originally started out in Andrea’s current role, the director of first impressions; and, along with the company, Robin’s current role has evolved. “I’m so proud of the company and everyone I work with,” Robin reflects. “We all have our own strengths and work together harmoniously to deliver the best experience possible for our clients.” As Robin celebrates this significant milestone, the Wolf Retirement team
