This Retirement Mindset Shift Can Add 7.5 Years to Your Life

What if your mindset about retirement could extend your life by 7.5 years? In this episode of Steadyhand Coffee Break, David Toyne interviews Scott Armstrong, author of Retire and Aspire, about how Canadians can rethink retirement — not as the end of work, but as the start of their biggest life chapter.

Scott shares insights from a 60-year meta-study that shows how your beliefs about aging impact your health more than smoking. He offers insights from his work with transitioning retirees across Canada, emphasizing the emotional, psychological, and social side of preparing for retirement.

You’ll learn how your mindset about aging can impact your lifespan by 7.5 years, why many retirees fall into a “retirement chasm,” and how to build a sense of purpose, identity, and connection in this next phase.

Whether you're five years out or already retired, this episode will help you build more than just financial security — it will help you build a life you can aspire to.
