HESITATING TO LEAVE WORk, BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT SURE WHAT YOU'LL Do

or

It All Started When Someone Asked "Are You Retired?"

I didn't know what to say - because I knew I wasn't done yet. I found myself at a crossroads - I'd left my career behind, but had no vision of what would be next.  Thinking about retirement left me feeling lost and unsure.

The advice I found wasn't relevant for our generation of women.  It overlooked the challenges we face, and the possibilities this transition can bring.

So, I turned to my professional background and previous experience to start developing a next chapter that felt more engaging and meaningful - more in sync with who we are now.  So, if you want to avoid or stop spinning your wheels and start moving forward with intention - this is also for you.

Michelle's passion to support women who want to advance in new directions in their next chapter provided me with information that I could put to use right away.

Smart Moves for a New Stage of Life

I founded Into Prime Time to help women begin a modern retirement focused on presence and progress.  This isn't about waiting for the perfect plan — it's about envisioning your personal path, identifying options and taking steps toward a life that feels right for you now.

I believe conventional goal-based retirement planning keeps you hesitating because it assumes you need clarity before you begin.  But clarity isn't the starting point - it's something you gain by heading in a direction and navigating a new path.  

Here's why it works: because retirement involves a transition.  It's not a fixed destination you need to define before taking the first step.

That's why I developed my signature framework, along with a process to help you embark on your next chapter with clarity and confidence.  It's a future-proof way to navigate modern retirement on your own terms, so you can life life to the fullest and thrive.
