A close friend of mine told me years ago that when he retired, he wanted to sail the world. He had a dream, and guess what he is doing now? He is now sailing boats to different parts of the Caribbean. He made his dream a reality.
Let's tap into your dream or vision together.
With the increase in longevity, this means that more people are making retirement a more important stage of life. There has been a dramatic shift. This shift is in the way we see and feel about this new definition of retirement. It is about living life to the fullest, trying new things, being more fit, and eating well. (like the Blue Zones). It is this new definition that encourages us to sparkle as never before, with a new freedom of action, living out our lives to well past 100 years old. More people are ready to ride this new wave and leave behind a life with no purpose, personal fragmentation, and loss of identity.
Get ready to plan your next 30 years. What is on your retirement Path?
Testimonials from customers
After I read the article in the Discover Sixty Five magazine, "Transitioning into Retirement," I could so relate to the lost feeling.
It helped me to understand why I was down and confused a year into retirement and sliding down to a real low about myself. It didn't help that a huge move was made the same time as I retired. I would love to hear more stories about people going thru the similar times. Thank you Marian, Discover 65 Magazine

Linda Moore, Business Advisor and Coach, Nelson, BC
As my wife and I approached retirement there were several considerations to think about. Coaching with your retirement path helped us to think about those aspects and feel comfortable that all the bases were covered.
The biggest uncertainty I had was what do I want to do in my retirement? I concluded I want to keep working, which I am now doing and loving it.
Going through the retirement coaching helped me feel settled about and ready for the next aspect of our life.
