Workshops For Your Next Chapter

Supportive in-person workshops where women come together to explore retirement, identity, relationships and what comes next

A gentle space to reflect, reconnect and begin again

Retirement is one of life’s biggest transitions — yet many women find themselves stepping into it with very little emotional preparation or support.

Alongside the freedom and possibility can come unexpected questions about identity, confidence, relationships, routine and purpose.

These workshops offer a warm and welcoming space to pause, reflect and explore what this next chapter could become.

There is no pressure to have everything figured out. Just thoughtful conversation, practical guidance and gentle encouragement alongside other women navigating similar changes.

Supportive workshops led with warmth and practicality

My workshops combine reflective coaching, practical exercises and honest conversation in a calm and supportive environment.

They are designed to feel welcoming rather than overwhelming — with gentle structure, small moments of insight and practical tools that participants can continue using long after the workshop ends.

Whether you are newly retired, approaching retirement or already retired and simply wondering what comes next, you are warmly welcome.

Gentle Introduction Workshop

A welcoming first step into your Golden Chapter

If you are approaching retirement, newly retired or simply wondering why this stage of life feels more complicated than expected, this gentle introductory workshop offers space to pause, reflect and reconnect with yourself.

Together, we'll explore some of the emotional and practical changes that retirement can bring — including identity, routine, relationships, purpose and the shape of everyday life after work.

You don't need to have everything figured out. This isn't about reinventing yourself overnight or creating the "perfect retirement." It's simply an opportunity to reflect, share ideas and begin discovering what you would like this next chapter to become.

The atmosphere is warm, relaxed and welcoming, with gentle guided activities, thoughtful conversation and practical ideas you can take away.

To help you continue your journey, your workshop also includes three months' complimentary membership of the Joyful Retirement Community — a warm, supportive online space where you can join live meet-ups, connect with other women, continue reflecting on what matters most to you, and find ongoing encouragement as you build a retirement you love living.

Includes:

  • 60 minute in-person workshop

  • Guided reflective exercises

  • Small group discussion and gentle conversation

  • Practical ideas and next steps

  • Refreshments

  • Includes three months complimentary membership of the Joyful Retirement Community

Changing Long-Term Relationships

Retirement can quietly change the rhythm of even the longest relationships.

Spending more time together, adjusting to new routines and balancing shared plans with individual interests can bring unexpected challenges — as well as opportunities to create a relationship that works well for this next stage of life.

In this warm, practical online workshop, we’ll explore how long-term relationships can change in retirement and look at ways to navigate shared time, communication, independence and maintaining your own sense of identity.

There will be time for personal reflection, guided exercises and optional small-group conversation in a relaxed and supportive online setting.

Includes:

  • A live, interactive online workshop

  • Guided practical exercises and personal reflection

  • Optional small-group discussion and shared conversation

  • Your own digital copy of the Golden Chapter Partnership Companion to download, keep and continue using after the workshop

Looking ahead: Specialist Workshops

As The Joyful Retirement Coach grows, I’ll be introducing a range of specialist workshops exploring topics that many women encounter during retirement and later life.

These practical, supportive sessions will offer gentle guidance, thoughtful discussion and useful take-home resources in a warm and welcoming environment.

Topics may include:

  • Navigating changes in long-term relationships

  • Building confidence and embracing new opportunities

  • Rediscovering purpose and meaning

  • Creating balance in everyday life

  • Coping with change and life transitions

Each workshop will focus on one area in greater depth, providing practical ideas and plenty of encouragement to help you move forward with confidence.
