Dialing Back at Work Isn’t a Failure (GenX Reality)
Ways to work with me as soon as this Sunday: https://linktr.ee/amypalmer.today Some viewers raised an important concern:Does talking about pretirement and slowing down feed ageist stereotypes about GenX women not wanting to work? In this episode of Your GenX Big Sister, I address that concern directly. I explain why pretirement is not about checking out, underperforming, or losing motivation…but about redefining how we work, what we value, and what rewards actually mean in midlife. I share how I’ve restructured my own work by focusing on the parts of my skillset that bring the most joy and impact, letting go of corporate politics and constant self-promotion, and delivering better results because I’m aligned, rested, and energized. This conversation is about purpose, dignity, ageism, and why there is no shame in doing life (and work) differently.
