Against the backdrop of rapid societal change and complexity we navigate our personal ups and downs, transitions and life upheavals – sometimes feeling as though we in unfamiliar territory, in bad weather, without a map.

Retirement is one of those major transitions that can precipitate challenging personal turmoil.

Are you planning for retirement, are you recently retired, or have you been retired for years?
     ○ Are you feeling lost and directionless, at loose ends and unsure of your next steps?

     ○ Are you wondering who you are without your work?

     ○ Is it hard to stay motivated?

     ○ Do you find yourself feeling irrelevant and disheartened?

Life after retirement can be a deeply rewarding, fulfilling time of inner peace, playfulness, connection, contribution and enjoyment.

It is also true that there can be challenges that can interrupt, shake up, or stall the best of well laid plans, even when there isn’t a global pandemic or major societal upheaval. For example, without adequate planning retirement with all its potential for rewards and fulfillment can have downsides.

     ○ A slide into a “why bother“ mindset can become depression. Boredom can result in over use of
alcohol and other potentially dulling distractions

○ Mistaken assumptions and conflict in relationships can result in resentment, unhappiness and divorce.

○ Staying in a “comfort zone of the familiar” can result in social isolation.

I can help you navigate the challenges and delights of the retirement transition feeling well resourced, energized and full of positive anticipation
