Rediscover Purpose in Retirement -
Start Your Next Chapter Today

Coaching for professional women ready to discover purpose, passion, and possibilities in their next chapter.

  • You’ve Always Had a Plan—Until Now.

    You’ve had structure, purpose, and goals. But now you’re worried: What exactly will I wake up for?

    Your career has shaped your identity. And without it, the question quietly lingers: Who am I now?

    Work has filled your days with built-in connection. But you wonder: How will I build friendships that truly light me up?

    Without a plan, you risk feeling unfulfilled and disconnected.

Now imagine a next chapter that’s fully yours…

You ease into your morning—sunlight through the window, coffee in hand. You glance at your planner, smile, and feel that quiet spark: today has purpose.

You're laughing with new friends after trying something outside your comfort zone — an art class, a hike, an e-bike ride. You almost said no. You're so glad you didn't.

You're finally diving into the topics, passions, and places you've always been curious about. You feel like you again— only freer, bolder, and more lit up.

Welcome! This is a space for women 50+ to rediscover, reinvent, and reimagine what’s possible.

After decades of work, caregiving, and meeting expectations—
you deserve a chapter that’s fully yours.

I help professional women design a retirement lifestyle that feels:

  • Authentic and energizing

  • Grounded in purpose and joy

  • Full of connection, creativity, and meaning

Why me?

I’m a certified life coach with a PhD in psychology.
For 30 years, I studied how people create real, lasting change.
And I’ve lived this transition myself—so I know how disorienting it can be.

In the year before my own retirement, I expected to feel free and inspired.
Instead, I found myself asking:

  • What am I retiring to?

  • Will I still feel useful?

  • Will I regret this decision?

That experience changed everything—and it’s why I do this work now.

Here’s what I’ve learned:

When you pause and listen inward...
When you reconnect with who you are...
When you design a lifestyle that reflects your values...

The confusion lifts.
The joy returns.
And your days start to feel like yours again.

That’s the transformation I’d love to help you create.

xoxo,
Elaine
