Design Your Bold Retirement
Coaching for professional women ready to rediscover 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?
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 to a place for women to rediscover, reinvent, and reimagine what’s possible.
I specialize in helping professional women 50+ design a retirement lifestyle they feel truly excited about—one that reflects their authentic selves after decades of balancing work, caring for others, and navigating society’s expectations. This is your chapter—let’s craft the most fulfilling, vibrant, and meaningful life you’ve always dreamed of.
I’m a certified life coach with a PhD in psychology. As a researcher and professor for 30 years, I dedicated my career to understanding how to help people make real, lasting change.
In the year leading up to my own retirement, I was surprised by how my excitement gave way to anxiety.
I thought I’d feel free, inspired, ready to exhale. Instead, I found myself wondering: What am I retiring to? Will I still feel useful? Will I regret this decision?
It caught me off guard—and it’s exactly why I do this work now.
Because I know what’s possible on the other side. When you take time to listen inward, reconnect with who you are, and build a lifestyle that aligns with your values—everything shifts. The confusion lifts. The joy returns. And your days finally feel like yours again.
That’s the transformation I want to help you create.

“I highly recommend working with Elaine. She is an exceptionally gifted listener and asks insightful and clarifying questions. Her warmth, humor, and intelligence make our time together productive and enjoyable. I always feel seen, energized, and supported.”
Ann, Clinical Psychologist
“Working with Elaine, I’ve grown so much. She creates a space where it’s easy to be honest and think through things out loud. She’ll give it to you straight, but always with so much care and love that you feel supported and nurtured, never judged.”

“Elaine's coaching was so supportive to my process as I enter my mid-fifties. With kindness, humor, and clarity, she helped me identify and embrace the different parts of myself that were in conflict.
