I'm Not Done Yet co.

Stage: Looking at options / planning

I'm Not Done Yet co. is a company I founded many years ago; when I turned the age my mother was when she died. I do this work to honor both her and sister who died too young.

I'm Not Done Yet co. is a coaching and training organization that supports women going through either of two transitions.

There is no age limit for engagement, curiosity and flourishing. Our longevity should not be determined by outdated societal/corporate norms, or internalized age bias. Isn’t longevity life with purpose? Isn’t it time that YOU have agency over your life?

i’m Not Done Yet co facilitates ways for you to create agency over your life; by using evidence-based tools and proprietary strategies.
