Rebel Against Expectations
Because fading into the background was never part of your plan.
You mastered your career. Now it’s time to rise into your next chapter—with purpose, power, and a tribe of people rewriting what retirement means.
We're a movement redefining life after work—one bold, purpose-driven day at a time.
You’ve Planned Your Finances.
Now it’s time to reclaim your life.
Most people spend years prepping for the money side of retirement—and zero time prepping for the meaning side.
That’s where Retirement Uprising begins.
We’re a purpose-first community for successful professionals 55–70 who are ready to rise into what’s next—not drift through it.
"This isn’t about filling time. It’s about fueling purpose, identity, and joy with intention."
WHO IT'S FOR
This is for you if…
You’ve recently left your career—or you’re about to—and want more than just free time.
You’re craving purpose, creativity, connection… and people who get it.
You’re not done growing, contributing, or evolving.
You don’t just want to stay busy—you want to do something that matters.
THE PIVOTAL QUESTIONS
You’re not alone if you’ve asked:
"Who am I now that my business card is blank?"
"What’s going to get me out of bed with purpose?"
"Where do I find a tribe of people who think like I do?"
"How do I design a life that feels as meaningful as the one I left behind?"
Inside Retirement Uprising, we answer those questions—together.
THE FOUR PILLARS OF THE UPRISING
This isn’t passive content. This is a guided reinvention. You’ll move through four transformative foundations:
1. Chart Your Compass (Values)
Uncover the inner code that’s guided your best decisions—and make it the foundation for what comes next.
2. Light Your Beacon (Purpose)
Craft a mission that matters. Through story, feedback, and reflection, you’ll define what you’re here to do—and why it matters now more than ever.
3. Step Into Your Next Role (Identity)
You’re not a title. You’re a force. Step into a new identity that aligns with who you’re becoming—not who you used to be.
4. Forge Your Mindset (Resilience)
Old stories don’t belong in your new life. You’ll reframe, rebuild, and rise—anchored by a mindset designed to move you forward.
Once you’re anchored in these four pillars, everything else—travel, connection, creativity, health, contribution—starts falling into place by design, not by default.
THE MOVEMENT IN ACTION
You’re not doing this alone. Retirement Uprising is powered by real people, real conversations, and real transformation.
Biweekly group coaching sessions with live Q&A
Expert-led workshops that dive deep into purpose, identity, and growth
Member-led challenges and momentum boosts
Ongoing peer support and conversation spaces designed to keep you connected, engaged, and supported every step of the way
Interactive, self-paced tools so you can explore at your own rhythm
Imagine Your Day:
You wake up without an alarm clock. Coffee in hand, sunlight on your face, and a sense of clarity that wasn’t there before.
You’re not asking “What should I do today?”
You know what lights you up—and you’re doing it.
Whether it’s mentoring, traveling with purpose, writing your next book, or finally launching that passion project—
You’re no longer wondering if this chapter will be meaningful.
You’re designing it to be.

💡 3. A Vision for the Road Ahead

🔥 4. Confidence to Create
From: “Is it too late?” → To: “I'm just getting started.”
🌱 5. Inner Fulfillment
From: “Is this all there is?” → To: “This is exactly what I was meant for.”

Welcome to the uprising. We’ve been waiting for you.
From the Founder
I didn’t plan to retire when I did. But one day, the title was gone, the calendar was clear, and I found myself staring into space that felt quiet, vast… and strangely hollow.
I had my freedom. But I didn’t have my spark.
I didn’t want another job. But I didn’t want to just stay busy, either.
What I wanted—maybe what you want—was to matter again.
The turning point came when I recalled standing at the pulpit, delivering my Mother's eulogy, looking out at the hundreds of people she had touched. They showed up for her because she had shown up for them.
That’s when it clicked:
We weren’t meant to do this next chapter alone.
I didn’t need more structure.
I needed a mission.
And I needed people beside me who were asking the same questions.
That’s why I created Retirement Uprising—
A place to rebel against invisibility, irrelevance, and playing small.
A space to rediscover who you are, and rise into what comes next—on your terms.
If you're ready to stop drifting and start designing,
You don’t have to figure it out alone.
The uprising is already happening.
Now it’s your turn.
