Reinventing Yourself

Karen Midyet, a clinical psychologist, reinvented herself in her 50s (after a three-year “Retirement”) as a Retirement coach and specialist on older adults. With more than 45 year of experience as a counselor and coach, she shares some of her wisdom about a number of topics, including:

* What makes the transition to Retirement so difficult

* How to incorporate structure in your life, while remaining firmly in charge

* How older adults can reinvent or repurpose themselves to live the life they want

* Why it’s okay to make mistakes or false starts when no one is keeping score

* The importance of social connections, physical activity, and nutrition on physical and cognitive health.
