The Rarified Life retirement coaching webinar is a free class that shows accomplished women in their 50s and 60s how to plan the identity and purpose side of retirement, not the money side.

What does the retirement coaching webinar actually cover?
The Rarified Life retirement coaching webinar covers six ideas: answering "So, what do you do?" without looking backward, why capable women stall after retiring, why a financial plan is not a life plan, what your future self wants, how to build a life people ask about, and how to start now.
A real answer to "So, what do you do?"
The presentation shows how to reach an answer within 8 weeks that does not start with "I used to", even if your last day at work is years away.
Why capable women stall after retiring
It explains the real reason smart, capable women get eight months into retirement and stop answering the phone, and how to start turning that around today.
Why a financial plan is not a life plan
It argues that a meeting with a financial planner, on its own, does not prepare you for the rest of your life, and introduces a different approach.
What your future self wants
It walks through how to pinpoint what your future self really wants from you, even when that feels like a mystery.
From errands to a life people ask about
It covers moving from days of errands and appointments to a life people ask you about, while energy, health, and relationships grow stronger.
No waiting, no permission
It shows how to begin without slowing down, without waiting for retirement day, and without asking anyone's permission.
These six ideas sit inside a 5-step plan that Rarified Life describes as the one smart women in their 50s and 60s use to replace the "What now?" dread of retirement. The steps themselves are taught in the class.
Who should watch it, and who should not
Watch it if you are an accomplished woman in your 50s or 60s, your work has shaped how you see yourself, and the thought of an empty calendar worries you more than your budget does. It also suits women already retired who feel stuck.
Skip it, for now, if your urgent question is a pension election, Social Security timing, healthcare coverage, or taxes in retirement. A retirement planning webinar from your plan provider, or a licensed financial professional, is the right first stop. Our comparison of life after career and retirement planning webinars explains the difference.
How to get the most out of a retirement webinar
Registering is the easy part. Zoom's 2026 webinar benchmarks report an average live attendance rate of 49%, with total attendance including replays reaching 57% (source: 42 Webinar Statistics Businesses Should Know in 2026, Zoom). In other words, many people who sign up never press play. A few habits help:
- Put the presentation on your calendar like a meeting you would never miss.
- Watch alone, somewhere quiet, with your phone in another room.
- Keep a notebook and write down every sentence that sounds like your life.
- Afterward, circle the one idea you most want to act on this week.
What comes after the class?
If the approach fits, the next step is the 8-week Preferment course: eight weekly live sessions with Anne van Leynseele, the Preferment book, and homework built into it. If you want to talk first, book a 40-minute Breakthrough Session on the Rarified Life calendar. There is no requirement to buy anything after watching.
