EP 27 Reimagining Retirement and Embracing Change

Meet Denise Drinkwalter, 60, a Midlife Renewal Coach hailing from Ontario, Canada. Following her 31-year teaching career, Denise found a new passion as a midlife renewal coach when former colleagues seeking her guidance, revealed a widespread trend of women relegating themselves to the bottom of their priority list. Living with Purpose Post-Retirement - Contrary to her initial retirement plans of leisurely activities, Denise discovered fulfillment in helping others through coaching. Her work is a testament to the incredible opportunities that present themselves when we remain open to change and growth, no matter our age. The Me Academy - Denise offers a transformative six-month program known as the Me Academy, designed to help individuals seeking change and empowerment. The results? A community of women who are discovering their untapped potential, changing their relationships with themselves and others, and celebrating their unique gifts and passions. Challenging Ageism Together - During our conversation, Denise delves into the pervasive issue of ageism and its impact on personal growth, particularly for those in their fifties and sixties. She passionately encourages listeners to challenge these limiting beliefs and embrace a pro-age movement. Self-Discovery and Personal Growth - Denise emphasizes the importance of personal growth through celebrating small victories and prioritizing internal nourishment.  She speaks to the necessity of separating self-limiting beliefs from the truth, empowering us to explore our true selves beyond societal roles and responsibilities.
