About Lou

I’m Lou Derrer, founder of Boundless Aging.

For about ten years, I’ve been helping people make meaningful changes in their lives, get clearer about what matters, and decide what they want to do next. Over the past three years, more and more of that work has focused on helping people think about how they want to live in the second half of life.

The more I do this work, the more I come back to one question.

How do we make the most of this time in our lives?

For me, it goes well beyond health. It’s also about having the independence to do things our own way, staying connected to the people who matter, continuing to grow and contribute, having a sense of purpose, and still having things in life we genuinely look forward to.

Having a good life doesn’t mean we stop wondering what else might be possible. There can still be new things to discover, experiences to enjoy, and opportunities to bring more meaning, energy and enjoyment into our lives.

That’s really what led me to create Boundless Aging.

My role isn’t to tell you what your life should look like. It’s to help you step back, ask good questions, see things from a different perspective, and find a way forward that feels right for you.

My background includes personal development, active aging, retirement and lifestyle planning, fitness, business consulting and community work. Each has given me a different perspective on what helps people make meaningful changes in their lives.

What I’ve learned over the years is that change often starts by taking a closer look at your life, getting clearer about what matters to you, and being open to what might come next.
