I recently left my job where I was for 20 years. I've achieved all my career goals that I wanted to when I first started working. I am fortunate that my husband still works and loves his job, so I don't have to work anymore for financial reasons. I am know trying to figure out what is next in my life. Curious if people can recommend anyone books, organizations or resources that can help me think through how to approach this next part of my professional life.

Congratulations on your accomplishment! You are at a sweet spot to figure out where you want to go next.
I like the comment from 2:29PM MDT below. Let your interest pull you forward. Do what your heart and soul desire. Do what fulfills you. I am sharing these based on my personal experience and the wisdom from Barbara Corcoran (Shark on Shark Tank), Marc Randolph (Netflix co-founder) and Victoria Labalme (bestselling author of Risk Forward). I just finished listening to Barbara Corcoran's Business Unusual podcast episode 1 on How to Reinvent Yourself. You may find some nuggets in it. Risk Forward is a good book. Simon Sinek's "Find Your Way" is another good one.
In short, keep searching inward and you will find the answer. It's a journey. All you need to know is the next step and go from there.
Wishing you the best. Sending you positive energy and good thoughts. Have an awesome day!
