Values & Dreams - Which Do You Follow?

Published on: 3rd May, 2020

To properly set goals, you need to know where you want to go. You also need to know why you're where you are right now...how did you end up where you are now?

If your values and dreams don't align, what you value most usually ends up winning in the struggle of life, at the cost of your dreams.

Many people are scared to start their journey without knowing the plan...the route...that the journey is going to take. But you can't know the plan until you take the first step on the journey. The path will become clear as you move along it - like the headlights of a vehicle brightening the road in front as the vehicle moves forward in the dark. You simply have to trust that the road doesn't disappear outside the range of the headlights...and when you keep moving, the route appears in front of you. It's not always the exact route you expected, because situations change frequently. But you have to take that first step if you want to move forward.

About the Podcast

Beyond Retirement
What really happens after retirement?

If you’re approaching retirement—or already there—and wondering what now?, you’re not alone. The world is full of financial advice for retirement, but there’s far less about how to actually live a fulfilling life once the 9-to-5 ends.

Beyond Retirement is the podcast that explores what comes after the career chapter. Whether your retirement was planned or unexpected, joyful or jarring, you’ll find real stories, honest conversations, and practical inspiration here.

Join host Jacquie Doucette as she shares her own journey and speaks with people who’ve reimagined life after work—some fully retired, some shifting gears, and all discovering new meaning in this next stage. From finding purpose to building community, embracing play, and navigating change, we’ll explore how to create a life that truly fits.

Because retirement isn’t the end—it’s a new beginning.

Let’s figure out what comes next, together.
