Re-tired Ep. 146: Yes! What I Just Did! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tina and Sue meander from talk about Social Security, news overload, Scrabble, to the impact of the deaths of Dolly and Gloria. From hopelessness to hopefulness, Tina remembers to give herself a shout out! She's grabbing the lightning bolt and empowering her courage and determination.

Re-tired Ep. 145: 'A Mother's Love Knows No Bounds' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How often do you wish you could reach out for your mom? It can hit hard for those who have lost their mothers. There's something so unquantifiable about the unconditional presence, the comfort and safety that Mom provides (if we're lucky to have it). The gals now appreciate their role they serve for their own daughters all that much more.

Re-tired Ep. 143: Medicare Myths, Spikes in the Road (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sue hit some spike strips on her trip to Medicare coverage, and the gals want to dispel some common misconceptions and assumptions. Most importantly, know your own specific situation. For teachers, especially single teachers, the consequences can be high. Know how marriage status can deeply effect your Medicare qualifications. Medicare is not universal, so be aware. To be clear, Sue is sharing what she experienced and learned through her own Medicare saga. She is not an expert, and strongly reco
Re-tired Ep. 142: High Road Sharing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When it comes to Mama Bear, Tina and Sue agree on the importance of protecting their cubs, and also equipping them with skills and self worth that only healthy love can instill. Sharing children, whether youths or adults, can be very complicated and emotional for all involved. Leaning in to the wisdom that experience teaches us can help ease hurt feelings.
