Redefining Retirement: My Personal Journey

A big thank you to Kathy McPherson for this lovely feature—it means so much to me!

This article, published in Auburn Lane speaks to the importance of reinvention.  My own journey spans a long career in finance and real estate to include recent milestones such as becoming a certified fitness instructor at 60 (and earning my second certification at 68!). Along the way, I’ve discovered not just the power of physical strength but also the importance of mental resilience and community.

Fitness has been a huge part of my story. Whether I’m leading a LesMills BODYPUMP or RPM class, my goal is to show others what’s possible at any age. And yes, I still love to challenge myself—I climbed Machu Picchu at 60 and hiked to Everest Base Camp at 61!

I hope my journey inspires others to step into their own second acts with confidence and purpose. If you’d like to follow along or learn more about what’s next, check out the link below. Let’s keep pushing boundaries—together.

Dont' Retire... Re-Wire!
