Retiring from federal service isn't as simple as filling out a few paper forms anymore. Today's retirement process is increasingly digital, and for many employees, that can feel overwhelming.

More importantly, she shares why you don't have to navigate these changes alone. If you're approaching retirement and feeling intimidated by technology or the paperwork, this episode is designed to help you move forward with confidence.
