Retirement. or any big life change, can leave us wondering: If I’m not defined by my job, title, or what I do for others, who am I, really? In this interactive talk, we explore what identity means beyond roles and achievements. You’ll get practical tools and guided reflection to uncover the values, passions, and dreams that make you… you (not just somebody’s manager, mother, partner, volunteer, or go-to problem solver). In a safe, uplifting space for Gen X women, we: - Reflect on how your sense of self is shaped by what you do, not who you are - Rediscover strengths and interests that may have been set aside - Envision a future where fulfillment is grounded in self-worth, not just a résumé or status - Connect with others on a similar path, because you’re not alone in this Whether you’re stepping into retirement, a new chapter, or simply longing to reconnect with your truest self, this workshop will meet you where you are and help you step forward with clarity and heart.

What do you truly stand for, beyond your career, roles, or to-do list? In the swirl of transitions, especially as you step toward retirement, it’s easy to lose sight of your deeper “why.” In this engaging session, you’ll explore the power of core values to guide decisions, inspire confidence, and create a more joyful, authentic next chapter. Through real stories and practical strategies, I’ll show you how to identify what matters most so you can step forward with clarity, courage, and renewed energy. You’ll walk away ready to: - Name your personal core values (and spot the ones you’ve been living by default) - Use your values as a compass for decision-making, goals, and relationships - Navigate transitions and new chapters with greater self-trust and ease Whether you’re planning for retirement or simply craving more meaning and direction, this talk offers fresh perspective and actionable inspiration, so you can design a next chapter that truly fits you.
