To Talk about Post Military Retirement and the Personal and Profession Anxiety

I want to talk about the anxiety following military retirement.

I envision giving a speech or fascilitating an open discussion.

I need to get the thoughts out. That’s my therapy: saying things out loud so they weigh less in my head.

A couple of the main points could look like this:

1. The connection between your self-esteem and being a part of the military
2. Old enough to start a new career but too old to develop a new talent into a profession
3. A new set of expectations for yourself for wealth, happiness, responsibility, lifestyle, and health

For now, I’m making notes about main points — the what to talk about. I’ll decide later the how to deliver it.
