About this listen

Redefine your retirement with purpose and power—no matter your starting point, even if you’ve felt uncertain for years.

Are you ready to step into your next chapter with confidence, but overwhelmed by all the choices, changes, and “shoulds” of retirement?
Do you wonder how to make your savings last, or rebuild your identity beyond your career?
Are you searching for practical, woman-centered guidance—beyond outdated, generic advice—to help you thrive, connect, and find real fulfillment after 50?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you’re not alone.
Silver & Strong is your empowering companion for this milestone—combining actionable steps, relatable stories, and a holistic approach for a life of joy, connection, and renewed purpose.

Here’s a taste of what you’ll find inside:

  • How to set boundaries and thrive in the “sandwich generation”—caring for others while protecting your own wellbeing
  • How to navigate downsizing choices with confidence, including emotional and practical tools for every stage
  • Simple daily routines for physical and mental wellness, tailored for energy and longevity
  • Scripts and worksheets for tough family conversations about money, care, and changing roles
  • How to protect yourself from scams and make safe, empowered financial decisions
  • ...and much more practical wisdom for your strongest, most joyful years yet!

If you’re worried this is just another generic retirement audiobook, rest assured:
Silver & Strong was crafted by women, for women—every chapter honors your unique experiences, challenges, and dreams.
You won’t find confusing jargon, one-size-fits-all advice, or patronizing “tips.”
Instead, discover relatable guidance, real representation, and tools that meet you where you are—whether you’re single, partnered, a caregiver, an empty nester, or forging a totally new path.

I bought this as a gift for a woman close to me who’s been navigating early retirement, and then I decided I'm not far from this age group and it's time for me to hear it! I appreciated how the advice is written with women in mind, without sounding preachy or complicated. It opened up some really honest chats about routines, boundaries, and shaping life beyond work. New thoughts on an upcoming time in my life opened some beautiful ideas!

I gifted and then read myself!

What I really liked about this was how it blended practical planning with emotional clarity, not just numbers and checklists. The stories made it easy to relate and reflect on what this next phase can look like. The narrator’s tone was calm and reassuring throughout. I walked away feeling more at ease and open to shaping retirement in a way that actually feels meaningful.
