For 29 years, I worked in the energy industry.
I knew my routine, my purpose, and where I fit in the world.
Then, at 61, everything changed.
Losing my corporate job after decades of loyalty shook more than my finances —
it shook my identity.
I suddenly found myself facing:
long, quiet mornings, a loss of structure, unexpected loneliness ...the retirement blues
and the pressure to “just relax” when I didn’t feel relaxed at all
I wondered:
“Who am I, now that my "career" is over?”
But what surprised me was this:
Losing my "career" didn’t end my life story or take away my skills.
It started a new opportunity.
After months of searching, experimenting, and honestly… crying a little,
I discovered something powerful:
Women in their 50s, 60s, and beyond are not done —
we’re just getting started.
We don’t need:
- complicated tech
- a huge audience
- or another stressful job
We need something simple, flexible, and meaningful.
A way to turn our wisdom into purpose —
and our experience into income.
That's when I discovered digital products —
and everything clicked.
Because I know what it feels like to start over when you didn’t expect to.
I know what it feels like to want purpose, passion, and options.
I know what it feels like to wonder:
“Is there still more for me?”
And the answer is:
Yes. Absolutely yes.
This space was created for women like us —
women who aren’t done growing, dreaming, or rising.
Let’s Retire & Rise isn’t just a name…
it’s a movement.
And I’m honored to walk alongside you in your second act.
