Wherever You’re Stuck, We Start There

Over the years, I’ve worked with clients navigating all kinds of transitions, some planned, some unexpected. If you’re feeling unsure about what comes next, I want you to know this: you’re not behind. You’re right on time.

Here’s how I can help:

Retirement/Rewirement  |  Reinvention  |  Starting a business  |

| Shifting careers  |  Finding your footing again after everything  changes

Retirement/Rewirement Coaching

Let’s turn “What now?” into “I’ve got this.”

 

You’ve worked hard for this next chapter, and now that it’s here, it doesn’t look quite like you expected. Maybe you’re not ready to stop working, but you don’t want to keep doing that. Or maybe the idea of endless free time is more stressful than exciting.

I help you make sense of it all and build a version of retirement/rewirement that fits you.

We’ll work together to:

Explore what brings meaning and energy to your life

Build a rhythm for your days that feels freeing, not aimless

Talk through options like part-time work, volunteering, or new adventures

Get clear on what this season can look like and create a plan to live it

Career Transitions

Because change doesn’t mean starting over, it means starting fresh.

Maybe you’re switching industries, recovering from burnout, or stepping away from a role that defined you for years. I’ve been there too, and I know how disorienting it can feel.

Together we’ll zoom out and figure out what’s next without pressure, panic, or pretending.

You’ll walk away with:

  • A deeper understanding of what you want from your work
  • A plan to explore new directions or opportunities
  • More confidence in your skills and experience
  • Support as you rewrite your career story on your terms

Small Business & Entrepreneurship

You’ve got a dream. I’ll help you build the structure.

I’ve launched two businesses myself—including one in my 60s—so I know how thrilling and terrifying it can be to go all in. Whether you’re just starting out or trying to make your idea more sustainable, I can help you stay focused and grounded.

Together, we’ll:

Get honest about what’s working (and what could be getting in your way)

Build a business plan that aligns with your life and values

 Help you stay accountable without burning out

 Make space for both creativity and clarity

Life Transitions & Planning

You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Turning 60. Becoming an empty nester. Moving through loss or unexpected change. These moments can shake your sense of identity, routine, and purpose. They can also be a powerful invitation to reimagine what’s possible.

I’ll walk beside you as you sort through the uncertainty and start shaping what comes next.

Our work might include:

  • Clarifying your vision for the next chapter, even if it’s fuzzy right now

  • Creating structure for when old routines fall away

  • Naming what you’re ready to release and what you’re ready to build

  • Giving yourself permission to grow in new ways

Wellness & Self-Trust        

Let’s redefine wellness on your terms.

I’ve spent years unlearning what the world told me about my body, my worth, and what it means to feel “well.” My own journey has included everything from weight loss surgery to ditching diet culture, and what I’ve learned is that true wellness starts with self-trust.

You don’t have to do this alone. I’ll help you reconnect with your body and your voice, one gentle step at a time.

In our sessions, you’ll:

  • Define wellness in a way that feels real and sustainable for you
  • Release old narratives that no longer serve you
  • Explore habits that support energy, ease, and self-compassion
  • Feel more at home in your body and your life

Real People. Real Possibilities.

Ready to Stop Wondering What’s Next?

Whether you want to work part-time, start something new, volunteer, travel, or finally do that thing you’ve been putting off, your next chapter deserves more than guesswork.

Let’s make a plan so you can start living it.
