What's scarier than ghosts and goblins on Halloween? Not being ready for retirement! But the key isn't simply financial planning, according to Randy Burnham, clinical psychologist and co-founder of My Next Phase, a retirement planning company. Burnham is a co-author of a new book, My Next Phase, The Personality-Based Guide to Your Best Retirement. He joins me to talk about how "personality, not your bank account, holds the key to a successful retirement."

Are you emotionally ready to become an empty nester? According to clinical psychologist and journalist Dr. Carin Rubenstein, the answer is yes, for the 30 million women between 40 and 60. After conducting intensive research and over one thousand interviews, Rubenstein discovered that Boomer women are "redefining themselves, reconnecting to friends, jobs and spouses, and creating full, rich lives afer their mommy roles have waned." Dr. Rubenstein joins me to talk about her new book, Beyond the Mommy Years, How to Live Happily Ever After...After the Kids Leave Home.
