Rebel Against Expectations

Because blending in was never your style.

You mastered your career. Now it’s time to build a life that fits who you are now—with clarity, conviction, and a community that’s redefining what comes after work.


This isn’t the end of your story. It’s the part where you write it your way.



Tomorrow is About More Than Money.
It’s about reclaiming your drive, your rhythm, your reason to wake up excited.


You’ve prepared for the finances. But what about your future self?

That’s where Retirement Uprising steps in.

We’re a results-driven community for professionals who want to thrive—not just coast.

"The goal isn’t to stay busy—it’s to stay alive inside."

WHO IT'S FOR

This is for you if…

  • You’ve recently moved beyond your career—or you’re about to—and want more than just free time.

  • You’re ready for energy, clarity, direction—and real conversations that go deeper.

  • You’re not done growing, contributing, or evolving.

  • You want to build a life that matters—not just fill your calendar.


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?"

We tackle these questions head-on—with structure, strategy, and support.


THE FIVE PILLARS OF THE UPRISING

This isn’t another course—it’s a real-time reset, built for action.  You’ll move through four transformative foundations then learn how to use them to build a life that lights you up:

1. Chart Your Compass (What Drives You) 

Identify what’s always mattered most—and use that as your new North Star.

2. Light Your Beacon (What motivates you)

Get clear on what gives your days meaning—and build from there.

3. What's next (Who you are becoming)

You’re not your resume. Let’s find the who you are meant to play now.

4. Forge an Unstoppable Mindset (How you think)
Shift your internal dialogue and see yourself—and the future—with clarity and confidence.

5. Put It All Into Action!

Use what you’ve uncovered to design a real, rewarding plan—one you’ll actually follow.


Once your foundation is strong, the possibilities open widetravel, travel, connections, creativity, health, contribution—it starts falling into place by design, not by default.


You’re not doing this alone. And you’re not doing it in theory.


THE COMMUNITY IN MOTION

Retirement Uprising is a dynamic, supportive space where ideas become action—and transformation happens in real time.

  • 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


Picture This:

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.


The 5 Transformations 

What You’ll Walk Away With

🧭 1. A Clear Sense of Purpose
From: “What now?” → To: “This is why I’m here.”

🧠 2. A Reclaimed Identity
From: “I was what I did.” → To: “I am who I choose to be.”

💡 3. A Vision for the Road Ahead
From: “I guess I’ll stay busy.” → To: “I have a plan I believe in.”

🔥 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.”

But if you’re ready to rebel against the expected
To live by design, not default
And to make this next chapter your boldest yet—

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.
