Who This is For
This program is designed for women who are approaching retirement and want to be intentional about what this next chapter of life could look like.

If you’ve spent decades focused on career, family, and responsibilities, retirement can feel daunting and uncertain. You may be asking yourself important questions about purpose, identity, lifestyle, and how you want to spend your time.

With uncertainty comes a remarkable opportunity—to choose purpose over duty, and to deepen the relationships that matter most. With intention and the right support, retirement can become one of the most fulfilling chapters of life.

Whether you're months away from retiring or already stepping into this transition, this focused coaching program will help you explore what comes after work.

What You'll Come Away With
As we build from one session to the next, we will surface what really matters to you at this stage in your life. We'll work together to design a plan that covers all aspects of retirement outside financial planning. We'll also take time to explore what may be creating uncertainty or hesitation, and begin shaping a vision for a fulfilling and meaningful next chapter.

You’ll leave each session with with fresh perspectives, thoughtful strategies tailored to your situation, and clear next steps to help you move into retirement with greater confidence and intention.

What to Expect
This program is designed to help you reflect on what matters most as you prepare for life beyond your career, whether that includes purpose, freedom, new interests, deeper relationships or simply a different pace of life.

Together we’ll uncover possibilities, identify potential challenges, and outline practical steps that will help you craft a retirement that feels rewarding and aligned with who you are today. You'll come away with increased confidence along with a plan to guide your the journey ahead.

How to Prepare
To get the most out of our time together, come with a few thoughts about what excites you — or concerns you — about retirement.

You might reflect on questions like:
  • What do I want more of in my life after my career?
  • What am I worried about losing?
  • What have I been putting off that I now have time to explore?

Having a notebook nearby can help you capture insights and ideas that emerge during our conversation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is coaching right for me?
Of all the different ways we can learn, grow and change, coaching is by far the most powerful modality because it's all about you—your unique circumstances, your hopes and desires, and your entire life experience to date. Coaching offers you the ability to have the most open-hearted and authentic conversation you can have about what you most need to be happy, healthy and engaged with the world. If you are ready to proactively fuel your future with deeper awareness, insights and decisions, coaching is a great fit for you.
How is retirement coaching different from life coaching?
Retirement coaching differs from other types of coaching in a few key ways: most retirement coaches have developed expertise in this major life change through specialized training and certification, our own experience with retirement, and our membership in the Retirement Coaching Association. 

We also understand (and are living through) multiple changes that happen at this stage of life. For instance, we work with people who, in addition to leaving the workforce, are no longer parenting children and feel a sense of loss at no longer playing this role, or have taken on care-giving for older family members, and feel exhausted and isolated. 

Finally, we address the reality of aging, and are able to engage in conversations about legacy, mortality and end-of-life decision-making.
What issues do women experience in retirement that are different from men?
1. Redefining Personal Ambition
Many high-achieving women are used to working toward goals, advancing, and achieving milestones. When retirement arrives, some feel an unexpected question: “What do I strive for now?”

Men often replace work with hobbies like golf or home improvement, while many women look for purposeful engagement—mentoring, volunteering, learning, or contributing in meaningful ways.

2. Difficulty Prioritizing Themselves
Many women have spent decades prioritizing family, children, aging parents, careers and community. Retirement may be the first time in their adult lives that their time truly belongs to them, which can feel both liberating and uncomfortable.

3. The "Invisible Woman" Effect
Many women notice a cultural shift as they age. In professional life they may have had status, recognition, and influence. After retirement they sometimes feel less visible, less heard and less socially valued.  

All of these issues and more can be worked through in coaching, allowing women to reclaim voice, purpose, and presence.
What's the difference between a coach and therapist?
While both coaches and therapists help individuals improve their lives, therapists typically focus on looking back in time to address mental health issues and past traumas, while coaches focus on the future, helping individuals achieve their goals or become who they've always longed to be. 
How do you handle confidentiality?
Confidentiality is of utmost importance in my coaching practice. As a professionally-certified coach, I adhere to the International Coach Federation's (ICF) Code of Ethics, which includes strict guidelines for maintaining client confidentiality.
