Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Bernadette Broderick. On air from June 23rd.
At the heart of my work is the belief that life after work deserves better language than simply “retirement.”
My book, Navigating Life After Work, is for accomplished women who may be leaving a demanding career, approaching retirement sooner than expected, or wondering what comes next after years of being defined by responsibility, achievement, and usefulness. I want to be a guide for women in this transition—not by telling them what to do, but by helping them hear themselves again. This season can bring grief, freedom, confusion, relief, possibility, and reinvention all at once, and I want women to know they are not alone in that complexity.
The message I hope to share is that this chapter is not about disappearing or becoming less relevant. It is about discovering what still matters, what still calls to you, and how you want to live, contribute, and belong on your own terms.

I started in a non-traditional career in the maritime industry, in a world of ships, systems, technical work, and high expectations. It was practical, demanding, and often intense, and it taught me how to think clearly, solve problems, and pay attention to what others might miss.
Over time, I found myself drawn more toward communication — helping people explain complex ideas, shape their message, and find language that felt true. (I started a side business long before the words “side hustle” existed.)
But the deeper shift happened as I began asking my own questions about life after leaving full-time work.
I realized that many accomplished women reach this stage with experience, intelligence, and energy still intact, yet very little meaningful language for what to call this stage of life, or what comes next. That is what brought me to my current work and to my book, Navigating Life After Work.
Behind the profession, I am a woman in transition too: curious, funny, reflective, sometimes impatient with old rules, a mother of two and a grandmother of two (funny story – I became a mother and a grandmother on the same day, 30 years apart – September 22) and deeply committed to honest conversations that help women hear themselves again.
My free offer (a webinar) and 2) a paid offer (a two-session (90 minutes each) workshop at $299 USD. It includes 2 workbooks and a plan for the next 60 to 90 days.
