Hi! My name is Jennifer Rovet.
I’ve worked with retired Canadians for close to 10 years, and I’ve seen firsthand the struggles many retirees go through. I started Retire Ready Canada because I want to help people as they transition to retirement from their traditional work life. I want to help make everyone’s retirement years the best years of their life.
This work is personal for me. The first people I helped address retirement with were my own parents. Leaving behind 30- and 40-year careers left them feeling lost, confused, and lacking a sense of purpose they once had. They now had all this new, free time but didn’t exactly know how to fill their days and weeks while still feeling fulfilled and finding meaning.
Instead of retirement becoming a wide world of possibilities, they felt their worlds become small. Through our informal coaching sessions, I helped them explore their passions and interests while discussing activities, hobbies, adventures, and opportunities they could now pursue.
It took some time working with them, but they have found satisfaction through many activities including writing, travelling, volunteering, attending book clubs, doing yoga, seeing grandchildren, and meeting with old and new friends for regular lunches and coffee dates.
That was right for them. I want to work with you to find the path that’s right for you. Maybe you want to start your own business, take up a new hobby, volunteer but don’t know where would be best. Maybe you want an active retirement. Perhaps, like my parents, you just don’t know where to begin to build your retirement path.
My parents’ journey gave me the passion to pursue a career in retirement coaching. What I’ve learned is that retirement is a transition, not a destination. It is important for people to focus on what they are retiring with and to, as opposed to what they feel they are leaving behind.
As a Certified Professional Retirement Coach, I work with individuals and couples alike, exploring values, priorities, and purposes at each coaching session. Sessions will be tailored to meet your needs and desires while using questionnaires, assessments, and guides to help design a rewarding retirement lifestyle.
It’s your retirement. I just want to make sure it’s the best one possible.
