Rediscovering Purpose:My Journey from Retirement to a New Career

Retirement marks a significant milestone in life, promising leisure, freedom from routine, and time to pursue passions. However, for many, including myself, retirement brought unexpected challenges and a sense of unfulfillment. As a former Certified Financial Planner with 30 years of experience, I found myself missing the purpose and impact that work provided.

In less than a year into retirement, I realized that traditional retirement wasn’t aligning with my aspirations. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed more me time and doing things I thought I would love to do…..it just did not fill my glass. The void I experienced with client interactions and making an impact in their lives encouraged me to make a bold decision: to pivot into a new career path.

Now, I’m excited to share the news: I’m coming out of retirement! Embarking on a new career direction in Custom Home Building, I am reigniting my passion and sense of purpose. Through this blog, I invite you to join me on this journey, where I’ll share my experiences, challenges, victories, and personal reflections.
I believe that sharing our experiences can inspire others who may be contemplating similar changes or seeking renewed purpose. As I navigate this new chapter of life, I’ll provide updates, insights, and occasional humor, hoping to make this journey relatable and inspiring.

Join me as we embrace change, pursue passions, and make this next adventure our best one yet. Cheers to new beginnings and the joy of rediscovering purpose in the second act of life!
