What if feeling unsure, anxious, or confused about what life holds after your career isn’t a sign that you’re on the wrong track, but an invitation to listen differently?
That’s the idea at the heart of my chapter in the Retirement Coaches Association’s newest book, due out in June 2026 (order details coming soon!). I share a reflective writing practice I developed called Writing Toward Wisdom, designed for people who are in or approaching life after work and trying to make sense of the questions that can come with this transition.
The process uses simple writing prompts, different inner perspectives, and natural objects, like stones, leaves, shells, or feathers, to help you get beyond overthinking and hear more of what you already know.
And if you’d like to try the process for yourself, I’m offering live online Writing Toward Wisdom workshops based on the chapter. It’s a guided space to explore a question or challenge about your next phase of life with curiosity, compassion, and a little help from nature.
And best of all, you do not need to be “a writer” to participate – just a curious human with a question, a pen, and a willingness to see what shows up on the page.
