  • Retirement Transition: 4 Reasons to Get Unstuck NOW - As a coach, I'm always looking for the silver lining in every situation for my clients, and for myself. At the very least, I believe we can learn powerful lessons from everything that happens to us, and even the worst circumstances can open doors to wonderful opportunities. So while the economy is in free fall, I'm excited about what possibilities may become realities. One of the most powerful things I already see happening with a lot of 50 to 60-something women is an awakening to the reality that they're stuck in a life they no longer want to be living. They want to retire the part (or parts) of their lives that no longer fit, but they don't have a clue what's next.
  • Seven Reasons to Hire a Retirement Coach - If you've been out there for awhile researching retirement, reading up on it, surfing the net, talking to anyone who will listen, you've probably been told you need a Retirement Coach. False, false, false! You absolutely, positively do not NEED a Retirement Coach, but you may very well WANT one, because she (or he) can help you: 1. Get Clear. If you're lucky enough to know exactly what you want in this next stage, skip to number two. But if, like many, you find yourself confused by too many choices to make, and/or clueless as to what you really want to be doing, you're not alone. Face it.
  • Don't Let Fear of Retirement Stop You from Taking the Leap - So, you're ready to retire, but you just can't bring yourself to pull the plug on the status quo of your life. You're feeling fearful about what life will be like for you in the next stage. Whether it's lurking persistently below the surface, or you're completely paralyzed by it (or somewhere in between), it's keeping you stuck right where you are. In your heart you know you want to move on. The bad news is fear never really goes away. The good news is you can learn to move through it, once you understand which type of fear is holding you back. Here are the three most common types of fear that can keep you from taking the leap into your next grand adventure, formerly called "retirement": 1. Fear of the Future.
  • 6 Essential Steps to Creating a Revolutionary Retirement - You're yearning to be free of all your old constraints - including your current career - and to create work that's deeply fulfilling and makes a difference in people's lives. At the same time you long to uncover those part(s) of yourself that have been long buried and breathe life into them. You're hungry for more balance, and to express yourself creatively, too. And, you want it all yesterday. Right? Slow down, girl.
  • How To Know When It's Time To Retire From Your Current Career - When you talk about retiring, do you say you plan to retire in five years? Have you been saying you plan to retire in five years for five (or more) years? You're not alone. Many of my friends and the people I meet as I travel around the country are all "retiring in five years" -- and they have been for years.
  • Three Secrets to Positive Aging (No, Two of Them Are NOT Diet and Exercise!) - The exciting field of brain science, and research like the Harvard Study of Adult Development, reinforce that you no longer have to look forward to your mother's (or father's) old age. So much of the research is pointing toward what we life coaches have instinctively known ­ it is the strength of your personal foundation and development of certain capabilities that keep you young and vital, and determine your happiness as you age. If you're lucky, you're positively going to age, but are you going to age positively? Here are three factors I believe are crucial to positive aging: 1. The Flex Factor. The Flex Factor is all about resiliency, flexibility and adaptability. How well do you bounce back when life throws you a curve ball?
  • Positive Aging: How Not to Be Just Another Old Lady - Knowing the work that I do as a Retirement Coach, a friend recently asked me if I had any suggestions for "how not to be just another old lady." It was an interesting question, and I've given it a lot of thought in light of the fact that many mornings I wonder who is that aging woman staring back at me in the mirror?
  • Retirement Planning: 7 Secrets to Staying Calm While Your 401k is Plummeting - The Dow Jones is whipping up and down more rapidly and more frighteningly than the scariest Giga-coaster (that's giant roller coaster), the media is whipping up a frenzy of hysteria, and politicians are whipping out their index fingers nastily pointing to their opponents as the cause of it all. Your life savings are dwindling, your plans for a cushy retirement are fading, and a restful night's sleep has become a thing of the past. Not to worry. You can stay calm when chaos and uncertainty is swirling all around you by: 1. Tuning Out. Okay, so it may seem too simple, but what if you just turned off the TV, put your daily newspaper on hold, and stopped checking your portfolio online every 10 minutes?
  • Seven Illusions, Delusions & Downright Lies about Retirement - You've heard most of them before. They seem like well-meaning retirement advice. But, BEWARE. The following illusions, delusions and downright lies about retirement can be dangerous to your retirement well-being: 1. If you have enough money, your retirement will take care of itself. WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. This is the biggest and most dangerous lie about retirement. Of course, money is important. Yet, money is only one of 15 "must haves" for a thriving retirement. Focusing only on the tangible financial aspects of retirement and ignoring the other, less tangible, "must haves" is a prescription for disaster.

  • The New Retirement Attitude: Today's 60 is Yesterday's 40 - If I say "retirement," what are the first five words that come to your mind? If they are "leisure," "relaxation," "comfort," "golf" and "old age," you're thinking about yesterday's retirement. This is the 21st century, when the new 60 looks like the old 40. And when retiring means "growth," "new opportunities," "excitement," "challenge," and "self-discovery." Look on the bright side. When you retire, you have more time to pursue your passions. That's what Harry did. He was an on-air personality in the Midwest for most of his working life.
  • Retirement Transition Plan: Three Ways to Clear the Decks for Retirement - There's so much to think about when planning for retirement -- what you want to do, where you want to live, how to stay healthy, and how to cope with the changes that are bound to come your way. It's easy to go into overwhelm. You wouldn't think of building a beautiful, new house on a pile of rubble, so why hang on to the debris that will keep you from living the life you're meant to be living? Sometimes, in your eagerness to move on to the next thing, you might not realize there's a pile of rubble in the way. Before you begin to create your future, take some time to: 1. Make peace with the past. You may think the past is past, but most likely it's holding you back from what you really want.
  • How to Revolutionize Your Retirement Thinking - As you think about your retirement life, acknowledge that "who you are" is much more important than "what you do". This one shift in your belief structure will enhance your chances of having a happier, healthier retirement. Hate change? If so, you're in for a rude retirement awakening. Why? Because not since adolescence have you experienced as much change as you will in retirement. Retirement is all about change. Major change. Now before you run screaming from the room, consider this. Change can be a really good thing. And, if you're going to have the rocking retirement of your dreams, then you will need to embrace change even if you can't learn to love it.
  • Retirement Transition Plan: Don't Leave Work (for Retirement) Without These 3 Plans in Place - Okay, so you can't wait to get out of the day-to-day work grind. You're not alone. A lot of the US working population can't wait to retire.
  • How to Create a Happy Retirement by Tuning Out Well-Meaning Advice - Up to this point in our lives, we've lived pretty externally. We've gone for some or all of the following: education, career, money, marriage, kids, house, new careers, bigger houses, etc. And, that's okay. But, if you've been making transition decisions all along based on externals (should's, have-to's, taking the path of least resistance, and living up to other's expectations), then you're headed in the wrong direction for this next transition.
  • Five Strategies for Having Enough Money for Your Dream Retirement (While You're Still Breathing!) - Most people think that's all retirement is about -- having enough money to sit on the deck, play golf, and visit the grandkids. But that's the old model -- not today's retirement.
  • Retirement Transition Plan: Three Brilliant Ways to Segue Into Retirement - Are you looking forward to no alarm clocks, nowhere to be, nothing to do for some undefined period starting day one of your retirement? Dreaming of no one to answer to? Craving some serious down time before you figure out what's next for you? Beware. You need a segue plan. And no, it's not endless days of open-ended nothingness. It's a plan that takes you 180 degrees away from your career, doing something that really gets your juices going.
  • Movie review - Cereal as a Metaphor for Capitalism - A business course on cutthroat capitalism disguised as a slacker comedy: That’s the kindest way to describe Michael Lehmann’s “Flakes,” a movie that shares the smug, hipper-than-thou sensibility of its sour protagonist, Neal Downs (Aaron Stanford). An aspiring rock musician who manages a New Orleans eatery where the only bill of fare is breakfast cereal, Neal is a reflexively sarcastic deadbeat whose equally sour girlfriend, Pussy Katz (Zooey Deschanel), shares his bohemian dream of traveling the country in an Airstream trailer, making music and art. The walls of the restaurant, called Flakes, are lined with cereal boxes, including rare discontinued brands. As customers slop up exotic combinations, the movie suggests a deadpan spoof of gourmet fetishism.
