Retire with Purpose
Because this ending is just the beginning…
🧭 Welcome
You didn’t think it would feel like this.
Maybe you were forced to retire.
Maybe you were handed a package or sold the business you poured your life into.
Maybe the relationship you thought would carry you into this next chapter… fell apart.
Or maybe you’re facing all of it — career ended, marriage unraveled, and now you’re alone in a life you didn’t choose.
You told yourself you'd finally have time.
Time to rest. Time to travel. Time for you.
But instead, you’re left wondering:
Who am I now?
Why does this feel like grief, not freedom?
What do I do with all this time… and this ache?
How do I rebuild when everything feels like it’s been taken apart?
You’re not just missing your career.
You’re missing your rhythm. Your identity. Your person.
Your sense of being grounded, important — and clear on your place in the world.
Now the calendar is open, but your mind is spinning.
You scroll. You ruminate. You isolate.
And no one seems to be talking about how disorienting this really is.
Whether retirement was planned, forced, or part of a storm that changed everything… you’re at a turning point.
This isn’t about how to “fill your days.”
It’s about how to rebuild yourself from the inside out — with clarity, with purpose, and with the support you actually need.
🧩 Meeting Adjourned
Is this you?
You didn’t choose this ending —
or maybe you did, and figured you’d love it.
Either way, the “vacation phase” is over.
The novelty has worn off. And now the questions have started to creep in.
You find yourself:
Replaying the past — the decisions, the missed signs, the things you would’ve done differently
Feeling unmoored without your title, your schedule, or the daily momentum that once anchored you
Wondering if you’ll ever feel as driven, connected, or respected again
Trying to rebuild your routine… your social circle… even your sense of self
Carrying grief, restlessness, or even shame about how things ended — or who you’ve become in the aftermath
And for some, the loss wasn’t just professional.
Maybe your marriage ended. Your health changed. Your support system disappeared.
The life you thought you were building into retirement… suddenly doesn’t exist anymore.
This isn’t just about having too much time on your hands.
This is about reinvention.
Rooted in truth.
Held with compassion.
Guided by someone who understands.
Introducing the Retire with Purpose Retreat
Retire with Purpose is a private, 4-day transformational retreat in Ontario — a location of your choosing, in my office in Sudbury or Collingwood or via online sessions. I can also come to you - extra fees apply.
It’s designed for professionals, executives, and business owners navigating unexpected or unfulfilling endings:
Career transitions, business exits, relationship breakdowns, or simply the quiet realization that “this isn’t how I thought it would feel.”
Whether you’ve left the boardroom, the business, the marriage — or all of the above — one thing is clear:
You’re not done.
You’re just ready for what’s next.
This program is where that begins.
With a compassionate guide, proven tools, and space to breathe, process, and reinvent — this is your invitation to reclaim your identity, redefine your future, and rise with purpose.
What You’ll Walk Away With
This retreat isn’t about learning how to fill your calendar.
It’s about giving yourself space to process what’s ended — and consciously shape what’s next.
You’ll walk away with:
✅ Clarity on who you are now — beyond roles, titles, or expectations
✅ A vision and framework for what your next chapter can look like
✅ Emotional peace around how things ended, and why it still hurts
✅ A new relationship with time, meaning, and purpose — that fits you
✅ Support and perspective from someone who’s walked this transition deeply, and now helps others do the same
Whether your next chapter involves travel, volunteering, launching something new — or simply slowing down with intention — this retreat will help you realign your identity, values, and direction so you don’t just “retire”…
You evolve.

Why This Retreat Is Different
This isn’t financial planning.
It’s not a retirement seminar.
And it’s not about learning to play golf, garden, or fill your schedule.
It’s about making peace with what ended, letting go of who you were, and stepping boldly into who you’re meant to be now.
