In this solo episode of The Jack Canfield Podcast, I share a deeply personal and heartfelt message—one that marks a major turning point in my life and work.

After decades of teaching, speaking, and leading transformational work around the world… I’ve decided it’s time to slow down.

While this may be the final episode for a while—possibly forever—I wanted to come on and share why I’m choosing (mostly) retirement, what’s next for me, and how you can still stay connected as I enter this next chapter of my journey.

I also share the exciting creative projects I’m still committed to (yes, I’m writing 6 new books!) and offer you the latest insights I’ve uncovered around success, spiritual growth, healing, abundance, and life purpose.

This episode is filled with stories, wisdom, and the core truths I’ve come to believe after 80 years on this planet—and over 50 years of helping others live more fulfilled, purpose-driven lives.

Whether you’ve followed my work through Chicken Soup for the Soul, The Success Principles, or our seminars and coaching programs, I recorded this episode as a love letter… to you.

🌟 Key Takeaways from This Episode:

  • Why I’m “90% retiring”—and what I’ll still be doing
  • The affirmation that defined this new phase of life: “I am freedom, love, and joy feeling peace”
  • What I learned from plant medicine journeys, near-death experiences, and the power of surrender
  • The books I’m finishing—including ones on limiting beliefs, ayahuasca, abundance, and WOW customer service
  • The real reason I’m stepping away from live events—and the powerful inner shift behind it
  • The new definition of success I live by: fulfilling your soul’s purpose
  • How to use joy as your internal GPS for life and business
  • Why gratitude, imagination, and spiritual discipline matter more than ever
