Retirement isn’t an ending.
It’s a redesign.

I help boomers transition into retirement with clarity, confidence, and a plan that makes room for what matters-meaning, health, relationships, and the joy of learning new avocations (or reclaiming old ones).

A practical, optimistic coaching specialty built for your “next chapter.”

coaching programs

Most retirement planning covers money. Not meaning.

You can be financially prepared and still feel surprised by what retirement brings: loss of structure, shifting identity, changes in friendships, and the question: “What do I do with my time—and who am I now?”

My coaching focuses on the life side of retirement: creating a rhythm, rebuilding community, and turning interests into real, lived routines—so retirement feels expansive instead of vague.

Why I specialize in this

I’ve lived this transition myself. Like many people, I didn’t want retirement to mean “slowing down.” I wanted it to mean choosing—choosing health, learning, community, and contribution.

In my own next chapter, I leaned into purposeful routines, fitness, and community—then added (and revisited) avocations that brought back a sense of mastery and play. That mix—structure + meaning + joy—became the foundation for this specialty.

(Tip: Swap in 2–3 specific examples from your life—fitness routine, a community you joined, a skill you returned to, volunteering, travel, etc.)
