I’m Dr. Cynthia—Refirement Strategist, Next Chapter Designer, and lifelong educator.

For over three decades, I poured my heart into teaching and leading, and now my mission is to help others step boldly into their next season of life. I believe retirement isn’t about slowing down—it’s about refiring. It’s your chance to dream bigger, reignite your passions, and create a chapter that excites you every single day.

Through powerful storytelling, research, and practical strategies, I guide audiences to rediscover their spark, embrace new purpose, and confidently design lives filled with joy, passion, and impact. My talks leave people not just motivated, but equipped to take bold steps toward their future.
