If retirement is supposed to bring freedom, why do so many people still feel unsettled, and what's behind that tension? 

In this episode, we discuss: 

• Why fear persists even with a strong financial plan
• Dangers of letting the news cycle shape your outlook
• Why retirees often search for a "true sage" — and why that search fails
• The "Yada" reflective framework and techniques for cultivating presence, peace, and self-awareness

Today's article is from our very own blog titled, When Knowledge Isn't Enough & The Quiet Fear Beneath Retirement. Listen in as Founder and CEO of Howard Bailey Financial, Casey Weade is joined by Les McDaniel to explore how news-driven anxiety, the search for certainty, and misplaced trust impact peace, and discover the Yada framework for cultivating presence and self-awareness.
