Retirement Coaching for Focus, Clarity, and Inspiration

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?

Are you bored?

You probably know a life of passion and fulfillment doesn’t have to end at retirement, but still, the gift of endless free time at retirement can bring unexpected frustration, boredom, confusion, and procrastination. You start to notice (you’re) not as connected to others — and yourself— as you once were.

Do you wish you had a plan?

You may not have a plan for how to get the most out of this next phase of your life. You may have challenges in the areas of family, friends, good health, and other intangibles that too often aren’t discussed, let alone planned for.

Keep having fun

Do you feel like it’s too late?

Maybe you feel that it’s too late to live up to your own hopes and dreams. Or, you may have long-held dreams but aren’t certain how to achieve them.

My name is Samela and I am a Retirement Clarity Coach.

For the past 20 years I’ve studied ageism, with an emphasis on ageist language and its harmful effects. I’ve coached individuals to discover approaches to their later lives that bring them joy and transformation. My passion is to inspire and empower individuals to go beyond society’s notion of who we are based on our age.

 I’ve explored the inner game of aging and retirement through my own life experiences.

As a result of some of these remarkable experiences in my later life, one of my core beliefs is this:

We have more to do and the time to do it

Your paragWe’re still living with the old paradigm of age as an arch. That’s the old metaphor You’re born, you peak at midlife and decline into decrepitude. raph text

This Jane Fonda quote reminds us that the current paradigm is no longer suited to today’s retirees.

This attitude can lower personal expectations.

Research shows that ageism can hurt your health. If people believe that mental and physical deterioration are inevitable, they lose their motivation. This attitude can even hinder our ability to stay involved and continue making significant economic and social impact as we age.

Samela’s laser-focused questions get right to the heart of the matter! The result: “ah-has and clarity!” Thank you Samela for getting me on my path!

Introducing Colleen

When I first met Colleen, she was not giving herself credit for her skills and talents. She was running a successful AirBnB in town, as well as a VRBO in the mountains of Oregon. She was teaching group ballroom dance classes as well as private lessons.  As you can see, she was a very busy and productive woman earning more than adequate income — And yet, the first thing she ever said to me was, ‘I need a job.’

I should have been surprised, but I wasn’t.

Like many women, Colleen wasn’t giving herself credit

for what she was really worth and what she was already accomplishing!
