In this episode, we have a special guest, Lauren Chiren, to help you address the mental and physical issues that accompany our 40s and beyond, and perhaps even our 30s! Lauren Chiren is a global Keynote Speaker, the founder and CEO of Women of a Certain Stage (www.womenofacertainstage.com), and a remarkable post-corporate entrepreneur who has experienced transitions to new stages of life, reinvented herself, and made a massive impact.

If you've ever felt that the elusive big breakthrough is within reach but faced numerous health challenges along the way, this episode is for you.

After two decades as a financial advisor, Carla Garcia recognized a fundamental flaw in traditional retirement planning: too often, retirees were financially secure but emotionally unprepared for the transitions ahead. Determined to address this gap, Carla created My Plan Keeper™, the first retirement planning platform to focus on life beyond the numbers.

Carla’s mission was shaped by years of witnessing retirees struggle with the same challenges:
•Unfulfilled Retirements: Too many individuals reached retirement with financial security but without the joy, purpose, or fulfillment they had envisioned.
•Lost Continuity: Job changes and advisor transitions left retirees feeling lost and uncertain, forcing them to start over and re-explain their goals and financial history. This disruption created unnecessary stress during what should have been their most rewarding years.
•Personal Insight: Carla realized she, too, was prioritizing financial independence at the expense of enjoying the present. This realization sparked a profound shift in her perspective and career goals, driving her to create a solution that integrates emotional and financial wellness.

At the heart of My Plan Keeper™ is Grace™, an emotionally intelligent AI assistant designed to help retirees navigate life’s transitions with clarity and confidence. The platform empowers users to create LifePortfolios™ that balance financial security with emotional wellness, meaningful relationships, purpose, health & well-being, leisure, and personal growth.

Carla’s insights extend beyond My Plan Keeper™. She is the author of the book Avoid The Panic: Easy & Proven Strategies for a Resilient Retirement Amid Economic Chaos, offering practical tools to weather uncertainty and build a retirement aligned with personal values. As host of the Retirement Without Numbers™ podcast, Carla combines stories, psychology, and technology to inspire listeners to reimagine retirement as a time of discovery, joy, and purpose.
Her work has been featured in US Reporter, CEO Weekly, Economic Insider, and Yahoo Finance, positioning Carla as a recognized leader in transforming retirement planning.
