JOIN us
Join like-minded individuals who are vital, contributing members of their communities in a series of ageism dialogues, encore career conversations and other issues and questions that matter. Discover your opportunity to determine what each of us could do to make this world a better place. We are living up to 30 years longer than any previous generation. We have a whole slew of Octogenarians who are healthier than they’ve ever been in preceding generations. This is a time to celebrate our longevity!
Retirement Clarity
Normal ageing isn’t normal. You may live well into your 90s whether you like it or not, but how you live those years is largely under your control.
The process of aging is a profound experience marked by increasing physical and emotional change and a heightened search for meaning and purpose. The need for meaning and purpose does not age, it does not retire.
If you are 55 years old or more, you may be considering what you might want to do next. You could stay in your job, or you could launch an entirely new career!
Join me for a ‘Samela’s Strategy Session’ where we look at your options for your upcoming Second Act!
Melders = Mindful Elders
I coined a new name for us olders…MELDERS
A Melder is a Mindful Elder – any individual previously identified as a retiree or Senior Citizen. That term, Senior Citizen, is heavy laden with negative connotations, visual misrepresentations, stigma, and prejudice. Melders have the time, talent, education, and experience to make a continuing contribution to their neighborhoods, communities, and the world!
Join my Facebook Group of like-minded individuals to read supportive and uplifting posts, watch interviews of career pivots, learn about self-inflicted ageism and how to stop it – including overcoming ageist vocabulary, gaining a positive attitude, and creating a confident mindset!
Resources
We provide a community where Mindful Elders (that we call ‘Melders’) can learn or discover how to express their full potential, create opportunities, and connect in meaningful ways.
Here are some resources and recommendations that we have found helpful. There are books, websites, community organizations, and just a mish-mash of things that have passed through our hands over the years that we want to share.
