Welcome to the Blog
What will you do with a week full of Saturdays?
If that question stirs something in you…
…curiosity, excitement, maybe even a little dread, you’re in the right place.
This blog is a space for the big questions and the quiet realizations that come with life’s biggest transitions. Whether you’re approaching retirement/rewirement, rethinking your identity beyond a job title, or just wondering what’s next, I’m here to help you imagine your life’s possibilities and take practical steps toward them.
Here, you’ll find real talk about aging, purpose, planning, and possibility. No fluff. No corporate speak. Just reflections, tools, and stories rooted in lived experience. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to start.
Let’s make sure every year counts.
