Kim Hunter-Borst, a dedicated healthcare professional, reflects on her lengthy delay in retirement, attributing it to her deep-seated connection to her career and the financial security it provided. For years, she felt trapped by what she describes as "golden handcuffs," believing that her identity was intertwined with her work. However, a life-altering event changed her perspective entirely.
After her husband suffered a heart attack, Kim was forced to confront the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing every moment. This wake-up call made her realize that time is a precious commodity that should not be taken for granted. The incident prompted her to reassess her priorities, leading her to understand that life is not solely about professional achievements or financial stability.
Kim's story serves as a poignant reminder that health crises can serve as catalysts for change, urging individuals to embrace life fully and prioritize their well-being and relationships over career obligations.
