Lifestyle Planning Counseling
Sally K. Palaian, Ph.D.
Increasing numbers of people 50 and older are asking themselves, “what’s next?”
The good news is there is a Next. If you are ready to retire from a career, what's next could
be a span of years equal to your entire working life. That’s way too much time to fill with
24x7 leisure time. That's why they invented sabbaticals! And this is way too much time to
approach without preparation.
Join the longevity revolution! Thanks to medical advances, people can expect to
live longer lives into their 90’s and beyond. How will you find the answers to make these
bonus years more vibrant and meaningful to you? By examining key issues, such as money,
wellness, career, community service, leisure and entrepreneurship, you will design a Life
Plan filled with possibilities for your second half of life.

Through Lifestyle Planning Counseling, you’ll be motivated to take action immediately. Sally’s counseling is based
on the philosophy from the book, Too Young to Retire: 101 Ways to Start the Rest of Your Life by Howard and Marika
Stone. You will design a path to your future and address issues like:
- You want to transition your life but don’t know how?
- You feel stuck in the same routine?
- You are going through additional changes like a divorce or layoff?
- You are bored today in your retirement and need a second career?
Explore the meaning of retirement, particularly: What will change? Who will I be? What will I do? Will I matter?
After examining your beliefs, values, and strengths you will create an action plan for living your unique life path.
