Your Home Isn’t Forever: Why Smart Retirees Rightsize Before It’s Too Late
Most people say, “I’m never moving again.” But biology has other plans. In this episode of Next Act Ninjas, Rachael Van Pelt, PhD—Healthspan Coach & Realtor—reveals the truth behind the “forever home” myth.
Learn how age-related changes in strength, balance, and cognition affect the way your home supports (or sabotages) your freedom. Discover the three curves of Lifestyle Longevity—mobility, memory, and money—and how timing your move can literally extend your healthspan.
We’ll explore real-life stories of couples who chose to act early, neuroscience on comfort vs. novelty, and the “longevity dividend” you earn by proactively designing your Next Act.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your current home will fit future you, this episode will change how you think about “aging-in-place” and home equity.
