When Lee Gale Gruen retired after a 37 year career as a probation officer, she felt adrift. Without any guide she began to forge a path for herself and by accident ended up in an acting class that she admits she wouldn’t have joined had she known.
What started as an accident lead to a fulfilling reinvention as an actress, finally unlocking her fear of standing in front of an audience. Not only did it change her life but after her mother died it changed her 85 year old grieving father’s life.
Lee Gale wrote a memoir recounting that unexpected journey and turned her mission toward helping others find joy and purpose in retirement. She realized that she could offer others what she had needed, a compass to navigate this new, uncharted season of life. Her refreshing take on the shift from being driven and competitive to being purpose driven brings a sense of ease and joy to daily living.
Lee Gale encourages listeners to be curious, try new things, experiment and stay curious. Allow yourself to try many different things until you find what lights you up. She wants listeners to know that is just a shift, you still have worth, value and you still have a lot to contribute.
Grab a cuppa something wonderful and be inspired to find joy and purpose after retirement.
