Aging by Design
Reconnect with what matters. Reimagine what’s possible. Bring more of what you love to life.
What is Aging by Design?
Aging by Design gives you the time, structure and support to step back from everyday life and think about what you really want from this part of it.
Over ten weeks, you’ll get clearer about what matters to you now, explore what you may want more of, choose a meaningful place to begin and start putting your own path into practice.
Not someone else’s version of a good life. Yours.
How Aging by Design works
Get Clear
Take a closer look at what matters to you now, what you want more of, and what you want to protect.
Choose your direction
Explore what’s possible and decide where you want to give your attention first.
Create Your Path
Turn that direction into a practical path that fits your life and gives you a clear place to begin.
Start living it
Put your path into practice, see what happens, make adjustments and keep moving toward more of the life you want.
The 12 Foundations
Sometimes we know we want something more from life without being able to put our finger on exactly what that is.
The 12 Foundations give you different places to look. They can help you notice where more energy, connection, meaning, enjoyment or possibility might come from.
They’re not a checklist, and they’re not twelve areas you need to improve. Think of them as prompts. One may stand out, several may connect, or you may discover that something else matters more.
Movement & Strength – Nourishment & Energy – Rest, Sleep & Renewal – Presence & Inner Calm – Purpose, Meaning & Growth – Connection & Belonging – Emotional Resilience – Joy, Fun & Play – Creativity & Self-Expression – Nature & Surroundings – Contribution & Service – Life Beyond Work.
What matters is noticing where your attention naturally goes and choosing a place that feels meaningful to you.
Something you can come back to
Aging by Design isn’t about creating one plan and expecting it to fit forever. Life changes, priorities change, and what matters to us can change too.
The idea is to give you an approach you can come back to whenever you want to step back, think about what matters now and decide what you want next.
The 10-week Aging by Design experience
Working through Aging by Design with a small group gives you time to think for yourself while also hearing how other women are thinking about this stage of life.
You’ll hear different perspectives, learn from one another and have support around you as you begin making changes of your own. At the same time, what you focus on and the path you create are entirely personal to you.
What the 10 weeks are really about
_____________________
This isn’t ten weeks of information to absorb. You’ll choose something that matters to you, begin trying it in your real life and have support as you see what works and make adjustments.
The reflection, conversation and different perspectives along the way help you make choices that actually fit your life.
What’s included:
- The complete 10-week Aging by Design experience with weekly live online sessions, guided reflection, discussion and support.
- A printed Aging by Design Participant Guide in a binder that you can write in, reflect on and continue to use.
- Your own My Path, a personal roadmap that develops throughout the program.
- Two private 30-minute one-to-one sessions with me.
- Four weeks dedicated to putting your path into practice, learning what works and building momentum.
- Three planned in-person gatherings in Sault Ste. Marie: a welcome gathering before the program begins, a get-together around the midpoint, and a 30-day reunion after the final session.
- The opportunity to repeat the core program once in the future, at no cost, subject to space.
My commitment to you
I want you to leave Aging by Design with something you can actually use in your life, not simply a completed workbook.
If you’re still struggling to get clear on your direction or put your path into practice, I’ll continue working with you one-to-one at no additional cost to help you move forward.
Because completing the 10 weeks isn’t the real goal.
The real goal is helping you create a path you can actually begin living.
