Common life transitions we can navigate together

Many of my clients come to me during significant life changes, seeking a fresh perspective on:

Retirement Planning and Beyond: Not just the financial aspects, but discovering your purpose and passion in this new chapter
Career Transitions: Whether returning to work after a break, changing careers after 50, or starting your own business
Empty Nest Adjustments: Rediscovering yourself and your relationships when children leave home
Health and Wellness Journeys: Building sustainable fitness routines, finding joy in movement, and creating healthy habits
Digital Age Navigation: Confidently embracing new technologies for work and personal life
Relationship Evolution: Adapting to changing family dynamics, dating after 50, or deepening existing relationships
Work-Life Harmony: Finding balance while caring for both aging parents and grown children
Personal Reinvention: Exploring new hobbies, learning new skills, or finally pursuing long-held dreams

The power of a fresh perspective: Sarah’s story

Let me share a story that changed my perspective on coaching. Sarah (name changed for privacy) came into my life during a period of profound transition. After completing cancer treatment, she was facing multiple life changes simultaneously: grieving the recent loss of a family member, supporting another through serious illness, and preparing for her daughter’s upcoming trip to the other side of the world. With decades of professional experience behind her, she was also ready to return to work – but everything felt different.

I’ll be honest – when Sarah first reached out, I felt apprehensive. We were at such different life stages, and she was navigating challenges I hadn’t personally experienced. But as we started working together, something remarkable happened. Our sessions, which often combined cups of tea at a local café with gentle walks in the fresh air, became a space where her wisdom and my fresh perspective created something unique and powerful.

Together, we crafted strategies that honoured both her extensive life experience and her new priorities. We started with small steps – literally – through walking sessions that gradually built her physical stamina. What began as career coaching evolved into a holistic journey of rediscovery. We found ways to balance job searching, her family care responsibilities and self-care. Most importantly, we discovered that our different life experiences weren’t a barrier – they were an asset.

How to find your perfect life coach

The magic of coaching isn’t in the age gap – it’s in the connection. Here’s what truly matters:

Genuine Connection: The right coach should make you feel heard and understood
Shared Values: Look for someone who respects your experience while gently challenging your assumptions
The Right Approach: Find a coach whose style energises and motivates you (In my case, that includes walks, genuine conversations, and yes – a healthy dose of silliness!)
Practical Support: Choose someone who can help you bridge where you are with where you want to be
