Retirement and Next-Chapter Coaching

Reimagining Your Next Chapter

“Retirement” is a concept that no longer reflects the reality or desires of many people in mid-life and beyond, who still feel sharp and vital and eager to create a next phase that is meaningful, active, and fun. Whether you call it a Second Act, the Third Quarter, or the Golden Years, this period represents a time of renewal, self-discovery, and new horizons.

I’m finally free! Why would I need a retirement coach?

Freedom is wonderful, but it can also raise unexpected questions. Without the identity and structure that work once provided, many people are now empowered to ask :

• Who do I want to become in this chapter of my life?
• How do I create purpose and meaning beyond my career?
• What  relationships and communities will enrich my life?
• What interests will keep me active, engaged, and continuously learning?

What Is Retirement Coaching?

Retirement coaching provides a supportive space to explore these questions and intentionally create a life that reflects your values, interests, aspirations and abilities. I offer retirement coaching to individuals and couples who find themselves at one of these inflection points: 

• Considering retirement in the next few years and wanting to thoughtfully plan the transition.
• Having just retired and feeling overwhelmed with the abundance of unstructured free time or, conversely, with too many options to pursue.
• Recognizing your inner ageist views or societal messages that may limit imagining possibilities. 
• Finding yourself several years into retirement and not yet having found a rhythm, purpose, or community that feels right.

I am also developing a retirement course to be offered both virtually and in person to provide participants with a supportive environment to explore these same critical issues. Stay tuned!

What Topics Will We Explore?

We will progress through a series of exploratory themes that will help you define what a well-rounded retirement will look like. 

        The People in Your Circle

• Cultivating relationships and responsibilities with your spouse/partner, parents, siblings, adult children, and grandchildren.
• For people who are single or far from family, establishing contingency plans.
• Gathering with old friends and colleagues and cultivating new connections.

       Your Retirement Paradigm

• Assessing seven dimensions of a well-balanced life to establish a baseline and envision a fulfilling future.
• People | Physical Health | Prosperity | Purpose | Positivity | Place | Plans

       Your Retirement Continuum 

• Considering where you might place yourself and how that might change considering your dynamic circumstances.
