What does the next chapter of your life really look like? Whether you’re dreaming of a slower pace, planning a big adventure, or simply craving clarity about your future, this conversation with Camille Walsonovich offers a fresh perspective on reimagining what comes next.
After 35 magical years at Disney, Camille found herself at age 50 searching for guidance on transitioning to her next chapter. When she couldn’t find resources specifically addressing women’s retirement experiences, she created My Aspirement – a movement helping women explore purpose and possibility beyond traditional retirement concepts.
We dive deep into the unique challenges women face during this life transition – from career shifts and caring for aging parents to health concerns and seeking meaning. Camille shares powerful strategies for navigating this “perfect storm” of midlife, including the concept of “backcasting” (envisioning different possible futures based on today’s choices) and taking “micro actions” that build confidence through small, manageable steps.
For those feeling overwhelmed or filled with regret, Camille offers compassionate wisdom about extending grace to ourselves and recognizing how our values might shift during different life seasons. She suggests treating this transition like college – giving ourselves years, not months, to explore new possibilities for what could be a third of our lifetime.
The most refreshing takeaway? Retirement isn’t about stopping – it’s about starting a new adventure with purpose, possibility, and playfulness. Through community support and intentional planning, women can design futures aligned with their deepest values and aspirations.
