The Third Act
There comes a point in life when the questions begin to change.
Not, “What do you do?”
But, “Who am I now?”
For years, our careers, families, and responsibilities shape our identity. Then life changes. Roles evolve. And many of us quietly wonder what’s next.
I believe that’s not the end of the story. It’s the beginning of your Third Act.
A season to live with intention, rediscover what matters most, and create a life that’s defined not by the roles you’ve played, but by the person you choose to become.
The best part of your story isn’t behind you.
It’s the Third Act you’re writing right now.
No Roles. No Rules. Just You.
How I Help
Life beyond career and family can feel uncertain, but it’s also full of possibility. I’m walking this road too—asking what matters now, what I want the years ahead to look like, and what I’m no longer willing to put off.
Together, we’re exploring what it means to create a Third Act that feels fully ours—lived intentionally, authentically, and without regret.
This is a time to rediscover passions long set aside. Together, we explore:
Creating a roadmap uniquely your own.
With experience as our guide and curiosity as our compass, we can explore what comes next—and create a life that feels unmistakably and unapologetically ours.
My Story
I grew up in a bustling Italian-Catholic suburb of Detroit, the only sister squeezed between three brothers. (Imagine the middle seat on a Spirit Airlines flight…without even the complimentary peanuts.)
That resilience carried me into a 33-year career in financial services, an MBA, and two incredible kids I raised as a single mom. At 62, I traded boardrooms for retirement and an alphabetized spice rack, and still couldn’t quiet one nagging question: Is this it?
Today, as a speaker and storyteller, I help others swap “Is this it?” for a confident “This is it!”
Keynotes
Three conversations that invite audiences to rediscover who they are — and intentionally design what’s next.
Who Sandy Speaks For
Every audience has people standing at the edge of a change. A career winding down. Kids grown and gone. A role that no longer fits. Sandy speaks to them with honesty, humor and warmth, and leaves them with a simple way to design what comes next.
Client appreciation events and client education evenings. Sandy spent 33 years in financial services, so she speaks your clients’ language, and adds the part the numbers don’t cover.
Pre-retirement seminars, employee wellbeing programs and HR events for people preparing for the identity shift that comes with leaving a long career.
Keynotes for professional and member associations whose members are navigating midlife, career change or retirement.
For women whose roles are shifting and who are ready to ask, “Who am I now?” without guilt.
For audiences thinking about legacy, and ready to see it as something they live today, not only something they leave behind.
For communities full of people who aren’t done yet and want their next chapter to mean something.
Words of Wisdom
The Podcast
Pull up a chair. Every episode is an honest conversation about the Third Act: who we are after the roles change, what still calls to us, and how to live the next chapter on purpose. Pour a cup of coffee, or a glass of wine (it’s 5 o’clock somewhere), and let’s have a conversation.
You are never too old. It is never too late. If you can dream it,
you can do it.
