NEW RETIREMENT coaching helps you plan for and create a satisfying and meaningful new lifestyle. 

Most Baby Boomers have a financial plan for retirement, but they will often spend more time planning a two-week vacation than designing the next chapter of their lives. In fact, only 14%* of Boomers have a written strategy for their retirement. Imagining full-time rest and relaxation is just not enough. You want to create a satisfying and meaningful retirement life—balancing volunteer activities, perhaps some paid work, leisure, family, and personal development.  

New retirees can face frustrating challenges such as:

  • Creating new structures that replace the familiar routines of their jobs. 
  • Finding new ways of relating with spouses, adult children and aging parents.
  • Remaining relevant, discovering a new purpose...and just maybe rediscovering and fulfilling past dreams.

Here are some of the questions and concerns I often hear from retirees:

What Should I Do?

  • My whole life has revolved around work and I have no hobbies. What do I do now that I’m retired?
  • I’m done with my old profession and want to try something new. How can I get started?

Uncertainty and Anxiety

  • I feel ready to retire but I’m not sure I want to give up the status and perks of my job.
  • I don’t make friends easily. How can I replace the connections I had with colleagues at work?

Meaning

  • When I was teaching I was inspired. Now I’m retired and I’m adrift. What’s my purpose now?
  • My work was about getting a paycheck and growing my estate. Now I want to build meaning and purpose into my life. How can I do that?

Family

  • My husband and I have different ideas about retirement. How can we get on the same page?
  • I want to live in a warm climate and also be near my grandkids…but they live in Chicago. What should I do?
