Unretire Your Life with Sharon Rolph
At a time when most people think about slowing down, Sharon Rolph is just getting started - and trust me, her energy is e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g.
Sharon is a retirement coach, spark specialist (yes, that’s a real thing and it’s amazing), and an absolute light when it comes to helping people uncover their soul’s purpose ... especially in their later years.
After spending her career in behavioural science and diving deep into what makes people feel truly alive, Sharon made it her mission to help others “unretire” their lives and bring their invisible gifts forward.
We get into all the good stuff: embracing solitude, tapping into your essence, discovering what lights you up, and how to turn this next chapter into your most meaningful one yet.
Sharon believes it's never too late to feel deeply connected, lit up from within, and aligned with your soul’s purpose ... and WOW, is she walking that talk!
Whether you’re retired, semi-retired, or just asking yourself “what’s next?”, this episode is your invitation to reconnect with joy, meaning, and the beauty of your unique essence.
There’s a reason Sharon’s helped hundreds of people go from lonely and stuck to fulfilled and on fire. You’ll leave this one feeling hopeful, energized, and maybe even a little teary (in the best way).
🎧 Give it a listen - and don’t forget to share it with someone who might need that gentle nudge to start their next chapter.
