Jill Smith Entrekin taught high school literature for over thirty years, but retirement allowed her to write some herself. She’s now published two books, with a third on the way. On the Happiest Retirees podcast, we emphasize the importance of core pursuits—activities that evoke passion and purpose in life. Jill has so many that she had to skip one just to make it to our interview. Life has thrown her some scary hurdles, but Jill found a way to keep going. If you’re looking for guidance on overcoming grief, finding purpose, and being happy, you do not want to miss this episode.Like what you hear?
