Marianne’s popular workshop Is now available for you to take at your own pace.

A proven system for living a Healthy, Happy, fulfilling life after your career.

Some of us sail happily into the retirement sunset – but most of us face a few challenges adjusting to this new time of our lives. So much changes when you move away from all those years of your career. Figuring out how to replace the good things takes some work. For some of us, that is a real struggle. But, most of us just feel a bit directionless and a drift. As one of my clients said , “I just don’t want to have any regrets.”

You probably did a lot to plan your financial portfolio so you could really enjoy this relaxed and fun time of your life. You planned where you wanted to live, your toys, and where you wanted to travel.

But, no one told you that  you also need a Happiness Portfolio®. Without one, after the initial glows fades, you are very likely to find yourself wondering if there isn’t something more to make you feel that your life is happy and fulfilling. This workshop guides you to building the life you want in your Third Act.

The information and exercises in this course are part of the system I developed based on my studies and successful work with private clients. I teach it in live workshops and now it is available for you to follow at your own pace – and at a fraction of the cost of private coaching.
