Lately, I’ve been having the same kind of conversation with so many clients—and it always starts with this realization: retirement isn’t what it used to be.

It’s not about stepping back anymore; it’s about stepping into something new. A second act. A new chapter. A chance to do the things that light you up.

To the woman contemplating her life after kids: May you find the perfect balance between newfound freedom and personal fulfillment. Remember, it's your time to shine.
