Illuminate: Defining the Next Chapter, hosted by Cathy Wurzer Thursday, November 21 at 7pm on PBS North Illuminate is a new WDSE•WRPT annual series featuring live conversations that will shed light on topics that are frequently left in the dark. This year’s installment, Illuminate: Defining the Next Chapter, hosted by Cathy Wurzer (from TPT’s Almanac), will explore how those facing retirement can prepare for this life transition. Many new retirees are underestimating the impact this new chapter will have on their lives. They can face uncertainty, fear, anxiety, and even grief over the Cathy Wurzer lives they are leaving. Illuminate: Defining the Next Chapter will explore this topic through live-in-studio conversations with experts, as well as stories of those who are discovering new purpose, meaning, and, in some cases, reinventing themselves in retirement.
