The Major Transition No One Prepares You For

Your Retirement Deserves a Life Plan

Retirement arrives with a blank page. No map, no plan—just figure it out and maybe try pickleball. Pickleball is fun, but it won’t give your days meaning. It won’t fuel your inspiration. And it certainly won’t define what success looks like in this next chapter of life.

The real questions you need to answer are:

What will give my days meaning?

How will I stay connected, inspired, and fulfilled?

What does success look like in this next chapter?

At The Future of You, we know how disorienting this chapter can feel without a plan—because we’ve lived it. Our proven four-step process helps design a retirement that’s uniquely yours—one filled with clarity, purpose, and momentum.

ABOUT US

Meet The Future Of You Team

We’re retirees turned entrepreneurs who saw a major gap in how people prepare for retirement—and decided to do something about it. After decades in the financial services industry, we were offered what many would call a dream: the chance to retire early. But once the initial excitement wore off, we were left with a surprising question: now what?We had solid financial plans, but life planning? That was a blank page.

Lisa Stornaielo

We wanted to learn how people replace identity, purpose, and structure when work no longer defines their days.

So we got curious. We reviewed hundreds of retirement programs and noticed a common thread: almost all focused on money. But retirement isn’t just a math problem—it’s a life transformation. Using our background in Design Thinking and coaching, we started listening—really listening—to people navigating this transition. We gathered stories fromividuals who had lived it, struggled with it, and in many cases, reinvented themselves. What emerged was a practical, human-centered roadmap—designed not just to help people retire, but to help them thrive.
