Something happens that is out of your control, such as getting laid off too soon and missing out on your last years of earning potential.

Internal
You are overwhelmed with the amount of information and decisions about retirement. Where do you even start?
-
Philosophical
You ask yourself what will I be known for? Will people still find me interesting? Will my life matter?

Hi, I'm Rc Arseneau
For most of my career, I believed retirement planning was all about the money. Make smart choices, build a solid portfolio, run the numbers and you’d be all set.
But over time, I noticed something: We weren’t just talking about money, we were talking about identity, purpose, relationships... things no retirement calculator covers. Because money is a great tool, but if you don’t know what you’re building, it’s hard to know how to use it.
That’s when it hit me~retirement isn’t just a financial event. It’s a life transition. Most people plan the money, not the meaning. And frankly, it's having a significant impact on their happiness in retirement.
That’s why I didn’t stop with financial planning.
I added retirement coaching to the mix~because people need more than financial advice. They need a guide for the rest of the journey. That’s what Unwrapping Retirement is all about.
It’s not just about retiring from something. It’s where your next story begins... and you’re holding the pen. You’ve planned for the numbers. Now let’s plan for the living.

Can Unwrapping Retirement really make a difference in my retirement life?
Our lives are filled with images of happily retired people seemingly living the good life with no other planning beyond when to quit the "rat race".
So I can understand why you might be wondering if you really need to "do" anything to be happy in retirement?
I can tell you that I have personally worked with hundreds of retirees over 30 years and witnessed the powerful connection between planning and happiness in retirement.
But more importantly, we've had many students share their stories of the positive impact made because of this course (for many it was the first time they truly felt they owned their own retirement.)
Our student Linda wasn’t sure a course could help her plan for retirement, but felt the instructors truly understood what she was going through.

Our student Becky was already retired when she began implementing her insights from the course.
