     Are you ready for life after your corporate career ends?

    Many plan for their financial future but few plan for their future life.

    You may be surprised to find it’s not as simple as turning the page. As a result, it’s not unusual to feel lost, confused or without purpose. And this disengagement can have a negative impact on your mental and physical health.

     The key to finding happiness and purpose is to reimagine life so it’s aligned with your deepest desires. But the path forward is not always apparent.

    What if you had a capable guide to show you the way?

     
     

    Hi, I’m Kathy

    When I ended my 30+ year corporate career to start my own business, I developed what I thought was a solid plan for my future. But a few months later, I realized I was in a deep transformative process. And I vividly recall feeling the need for guidance and support throughout my reinvention. This experience shaped the work I do today.

    The post-corporate journey invites you to live in a brand new way, one of your own choosing. It’s about learning to rely less on the left-brain logical reasoning that made you a success in the past and more on developing trust in your right-brain inner wisdom.

    This is the journey from head to heart, From Type A to Type Be.

    I feel so much more prepared to for retirement. I am not as afraid of it as I was. When I look back in my journal I am blown away by all the amazingly useful tools you have given me and am beyond excited about what the future holds for me.

    —Geraldine W.

      How to Know When It’s Time to Leave a Successful Career
      How to Know When It’s Time to Leave a Successful Career

      My decision to leave my corporate career wasn't a gradual realization or a carefully weighed decision.  It was instant and visceral—a knowing so clear it bypassed my logical mind entirely. When I learned my boss announced his retirement, I couldn't imagine the process of proving myself once again or navigating yet another reorganization.  If I was going to prove myself to anyone, it would be to me.

      But here's what's important: that moment of clarity didn't come out of nowhere.  It arrived because I'd been following intuitive breadcrumbs for years – small, seemingly insignificant nudges that my inner wisdom had been laying out for me all along.

      From Whisper to Oak: How the Acorn Theory Can Guide Your Midlife Reinvention

      It’s 3:00 a.m. and you’re wide awake — again.

      By every external measure, you’re a success.  You’ve checked the boxes, climbed the ladder and built the kind of life others envy.  Yet, there’s that little tug, a quiet whisper suggesting that something isn’t quite right.

      This isn’t a crisis or a breakdown.  It’s a subtle, insistent knowing that you’re meant for something more.

      Vibrant, Creative and Whole: Making a Vow to Your Future Self
      Vibrant, Creative and Whole: Making a Vow to Your Future Self

      The year-end pressure lingers, bringing with it the tired ritual of the New Year’s resolution.  It’s a cycle built on the nagging feeling that something needs fixing — that if we just worked harder or optimized better, we’d finally arrive. 

      But you know the truth:  these January efforts rarely survive the month.  That’s because resolutions are about improving the past. What’s called for in these times is a way to claim your future.  This is especially true if you’re contemplating your next life chapter and dreaming of moving from what is to what’s possible.

      So this year, consider replacing goal-driven resolutions with a more soul-powered process.  This year – make a vow to your future self.
