a quiet exploration of life after structure
Retirement often opens space we’ve been waiting for — and then don’t quite know how to live inside.
When long-standing routines and roles fall away, days can feel wide, unstructured, and quietly disorienting. This isn’t a failure or a lack of imagination. It’s a very human response to change.
My Approach
This is not about fixing your retirement.
Many conversations about retirement focus on productivity, reinvention, or filling time as quickly as possible. This space takes a different approach. It’s interested in how people actually experience the loss of daily structure — and how rhythm, meaning, and steadiness return gradually, often in ordinary ways. There is no ideal schedule here. No prescribed next chapter. Just attention to how life is lived day by day.
Where this work lives now
Most of this exploration now lives through writing at Substack - @TheDailyPracticeSpace, where I share reflections on time, daily life, and changing rhythms. If you’ve found your way here through the word retirement, you may find yourself at home there as well.

Private work
From time to time, I work one-to-one with people who are navigating similar transitions and want thoughtful companionship while finding their footing again. This work is conversational and unhurried, shaped by attention to daily life rather than goals or outcomes.
I also write occasional notes on time, daily life, and changing rhythms…
