About Boundless Aging
I’m Lou Derrer, founder of Boundless Aging.
I created Boundless Aging because I believe growing older doesn’t mean life has to become smaller. This part of life can still hold opportunities to grow, connect, try new things, contribute in meaningful ways and have plenty to look forward to.
For about ten years, I’ve been helping people step back, get clearer about what they want, and make meaningful changes in their lives. Over the past three years, more and more of that work has focused on this stage of life and on a question I keep coming back to.
How do we want to live this part of life?
I’m living this stage myself, so this question is personal to me as well as professional. I think about staying healthy and independent, but also about how I want to spend my time, the people I want around me, what I still want to experience and what I want the years ahead to feel like.
My background includes coaching, active aging, retirement readiness, fitness, business consulting and community work. They’ve given me different ways of looking at change, but they’ve also reinforced something I’ve seen again and again. People are much more likely to make meaningful changes when the direction comes from them.
That’s shaped the way I work with people. I’m not here to tell you what your life should look like. I’m here to help you step back, ask some good questions, see things from a different perspective and find a way forward that feels right for you.
The direction is always yours.
If some of this feels familiar and you’d like to talk, I’d be happy to hear from you.
