After decades in Austin, Texas, Liz Atherton found herself asking a question many retirees eventually face: “Where do I really want to spend the next chapter of my life?” Following a lung cancer diagnosis and successful surgery, the question became even more urgent and personal. Liz wasn’t looking for just another place to live. She wanted a place that felt right financially, emotionally, and physically.
So she did the research. Tennessee. The Carolinas. Other retirement destinations across the South. Like so many people considering retirement relocation, Liz carefully weighed climate, cost of living, lifestyle, safety, beauty, and community. In the end, Hot Springs Village kept rising to the top. Just two months after making the move, I joined Liz on her back porch to share why she chose HSV, how she’s “cash flowing” her retirement on Social Security, and why this encore chapter feels exactly right. This Porch Prowling episode is an honest, encouraging conversation about resilience, intentional living, and discovering where home truly belongs.
Liz and her son are co-founders of CastVoices.com – a platform serving voiceover artists.
