Join us for an engaging conversation with Mary Ann Hardie, a retired local government professional who has embraced a new chapter of life in France. In this inspiring session, Mary Ann will share her personal journey from a career filled with meetings, deadlines, and community responsibilities to a retirement shaped by culture, connection, and intentional living. Participants will hear firsthand how relocating abroad reshaped her perspective on work-life balance, wellness, community, and what it truly means to live “the good life.” From navigating the logistics of an international move to discovering the joy of daily rituals — including the French tradition of apéro hour — Mary Ann will offer reflections, lessons learned, and practical insights for anyone curious about redefining life after retirement. This webinar is perfect for professionals approaching retirement, recent retirees, or anyone dreaming about new possibilities in their next chapter. Let Mary Ann’s story spark ideas about how you might design a life filled with meaning, adventure, and connection — wherever you choose to call home.
