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?
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.

Have you ever made a decision to venture out of your comfort zone and then spent tons of energy to prepare yourself for it, only for plans to change? That’s exactly what happened to me a few months ago and today’s post is about preparing for an experience and what to do when it all goes awry.
You know how it works. You have an idea of a something monumental you really want to experience and you tuck it in the back of your mind. Maybe it’s a place, like visiting the Taj Mahal, or a natural phenomenon, like witnessing the northern lights. Sometimes, it’s an activity, like running a marathon.
I find as I get older, it’s about doing the things I always wanted to do – while I still have the capacity to do them.
A climate-controlled box. A structured class. An expensive membership. All uninspired components of how we typically think of fitness. But I’ve found that the most restorative gym on the planet is the one you already have free access to: the wild world right outside your door.
For years, I treated my fitness routine like an equation: outdoor runs and hikes for cardio, indoor gyms for strength training. It was a reliable system, but I wished I could bring more of my fitness activities outdoors.
Then last spring, something caught my attention…
Every creative project begins with a process of gathering materials, ideas and inspiration. We can think of our lives as immense creative projects filled with gathered resources: beliefs, routines, objects, obligations and experiences.
It’s been my experience that the most important part of living a creative life isn’t in the gathering—it’s in the sorting. Without a willingness and a process to sort through what we’ve collected and discard what no longer fits, our life masterpiece remains hidden beneath the weight of it all.
