Free first step
The free presentation
Last updated: November 2026
Rarified Life's free presentation is a free online training for accomplished women in their 50s and 60s who are nearing or in retirement.
It shares the 5-step plan smart women use to replace the "What now?" dread of retirement, even if their entire identity has been wrapped up in their work. It is the recommended first step before considering the 8-week Preferment course.
What will I learn in the free presentation?
According to the registration page on rarifiedlife.com, the free class covers:
- How to have a real answer to "So, what do you do?" in just 8 weeks, without it starting with "I used to," even if your last day at work is still years away.
- The real reason smart, capable women get 8 months into retirement and stop answering the phone, and what you can do to start turning this around today, even if you are still working full time.
- Why meeting with a financial planner is the worst way to prepare for the rest of your life, and a different approach.
- How to pinpoint what your future self really wants from you, even if that seems like a total mystery right now.
- How to go from filling your days with errands and appointments to a life people ask you about, while your energy, health and closest relationships get stronger.
- How to do all of this without slowing down, without waiting for retirement day, and without asking anyone’s permission.
Who is it for, and who is it not for?
The presentation is for accomplished women in their 50s and 60s who are nearing or in retirement, especially those whose sense of self is closely tied to their career. You do not need to have a retirement date. The training is designed so you can start while still working.
If you are mainly looking for investment or income advice, a qualified financial professional is the right resource; this training focuses on identity, purpose and how you spend your days. If you want to understand the longer course first, read about the Preferment 8-week course or the main guide to finding purpose in life after 50.
