Part 2: CUTV News Radio spotlights Carolyne Simi of Create Your Encore

Seattle, WA – The concert is over, but the audience demands more. They want an encore. Now is the opportunity to sing the song that truly resonates with you and give them everything you’ve got with all your heart.

Carolyne Simi is the CEO and Founder of Create Your Encore where she helps people figure out their next step as they approach their retirement. Carolyne specializes in helping people find their passion and create a life they really want to live in their second half of their life.

“They call these years the golden years. I call it the golden opportunity,” says Carolyne. “Now is the time to do something you really want to do. You’ve been serving others your entire life. Now is the time to do what really makes your heart sing.”

We spend so many years working. So many things demand our attention and our intention, but when we reach retirement, big chunks of that puzzle fall away and leave you feeling disconnected. Carolyne says the beautiful part about retirement is that it affords us the opportunity to deliberately reinvent ourselves and create the life we really want.

“It’s a journey of self-evaluation,” says Carolyne. “The trick is to look inward. What makes you happy? What gets you excited? What are you good at? What do you truly love to do? Once you’ve created that inventory, you can look at ways to apply those skills, passions, talents, gifts to something that fulfills you.”
