When Life Asks, “What’s Next?”
Here's How to Find the Answer
Calm guidance, practical tools, and supportive encouragement
for rediscovering purpose, direction, and possibility after 55.
Finding “What’s Next” Isn’t About Reinvention
— It’s About Rediscovery.
There comes a time — usually after 55 — when life changes rhythm.
The old roles fade, the routines slow, and the question rises: What’s next for me?
I know that question well, and I’ve spent years helping others answer it.
Through writing, speaking, and the What’s Next podcast, I guide older adults to reconnect with what matters most — to find direction rooted in purpose, not pressure.
Because the next chapter of life isn’t an ending. It’s an opening.
