Dana in Grand Canyon

Hi there!

I'm Dana

I’ve worked with hundreds of people over the last 10+ years who are likely just like you…

your UnRetirement transition coach.

at a midlife crossroads and/or in the midst of an UnRetirement transition. They are all in a place of uncertainty and vulnerability…  and most are overwhelmed.

 

They feel pressure, after all, the clock is ticking. And the same resounding sentiment comes up over-and-over again… the desire to fuel their next chapter with more freedom, purpose and possibility.

 

I get it, I’ve been there too.

PERHAPS YOU'RE ASKING YOURSELF SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS...

Who am I now…?

What do I really want?

How do I want to experience the next chapter of my life?

Is it too late?

Transitions are hard, and helping people navigate big life transitions is my expertise.

Dana has reinvented her life more than once—and each time, with more freedom and fewer shoulds…

Dana is a former magazine publishing executive turned midlife reinvention and (un)retirement transition expert, with a few cool projects (author, podcaster and media spokesperson) sprinkled along the way.

 

With over a decade of experience as a personal leadership and midlife reinvention expert, she’s helped hundreds of people realize their potential and navigate big life transitions to create their next act with confidence, excitement and peace of mind.

 

Now, as the founder of Wiser and Free™️, her mission is to help people navigate their (un)retirement journey to create a life of more freedom, purpose and possibility.

 

Dana is an engaging speaker and has shared her insights on hundreds of media outlets across the country. She's also created custom programs for organizations such as PepsiCo, Yale and Medidata.

 

When not working she is spending time with family and friends, trying new experiences (last year it was pottery and improv!) and doing anything that gets her into the great outdoors. She lives in Madison, CT with her husband and is the proud mom of three young adult sons.

Her motto:

Living never gets old!
