Dear Cora, Send Help: Confessions of a Rookie Retiree

What happens when a lifelong overachiever finally takes off the name badge-but can't stop making spreadsheets about "free time"? In this funny, heartfelt "memovel," Jodi Prohofsky trades boardrooms for book clubs, deadlines for diary entries, and discovers that retirement isn't a finish line-it's a plot twist. Through letters to her wise and witty pen pal Cora, Jodi unpacks the chaos and charm of life after work: love in thermostat wars, midnight insomnia clubs, identity crises measured in soup recipes, and the surprising joy of stretchy pants and second acts. Equal parts humor, heart, and hard-won insight, Dear Cora, Send Help is for anyone who has ever asked, "Who am I when the calendar clears?" It's proof that rediscovery doesn't come with an age limit-and that friendship, laughter, and a well-timed nap might be the real keys to retirement bliss.
