The Seascape Beach Resort, Santa Cruz. October 20-22, 2018
Are you Ready to Set Yourself Free?
- 1ARE YOU TRYING TO DECIDE WHETHER TO RETIRE - IF EVER???
Your heart says, "Let's Play!" while your head says, "Yikes! What's next for me?"
You need a recess from your job to renew, play, and envision life after your career. - 2DID YOU TRADE YOUR JOB-CHURN FOR LIFE-CHURN IN RETIREMENT?
You thought you'd break free of responsibility, but now you're repeating the same old patterns.
You need new rules for the game of life so you can live it your way, without worry and guilt.
- 3DO YOU HAVE AN OLYMPIC-SIZE DREAM?
A dream so outlandish, so inconvenient, so impossible that you've waited for it your whole life?
Does this dream secretly make you smile?
You need freedom from your own self-doubt, so you can play full out and make your dream SO!
This is the Playful Life.
Just Imagine . . .
A quiet voice inside says, "You are wise, you are loved, and you are beautiful. Let's play!"
Set Yourself Free to Play!
We are young in heart and ripe in experience.
We have been dutiful daughters, mothers, workers, wives.
We've played that game well.
Now it is time for our game.
Because the world needs every part of us.
Our Truth. Our Passion. Our Wisdom. Our Joy.
What holds you back from Playing your Life to Win?
I'm Janet Kodish
Transformative Retirement Coach and creator of the
Free to Play Retreat for Women
It took ME A LOng time to BE FREE TO PLAY.
When I retired six years ago I was so ready to leave the stress of my administrative management job! My plan was to sleep, have fun, and finally start a business of my own.
But that didn’t happen. I moved my widowed father to a nearby retirement community because he couldn’t live alone and I needed to manage his health, finances, and hardware store. I was the go-to gal for friends and family. I volunteered. And in-between, whenever I had a spare moment, I searched for a business idea that would give my life purpose.
You see, I thought purpose was something you did. Then, one day I realized that purpose isn’t something you do, it’s something you feel.
That changed everything. Because if purpose is something you feel, then I felt numb. My life wasn’t set up to feel. My life was set up for duty. It had been that way for a long time.
I was so wired for duty, that one month after my wife and I bought our forever home, Dad moved in with us. Of course there were good reasons. There are always reasons.
But here’s the truth: A life of duty is a life of distraction. It is a cramped and uncomfortable thing. And it is the opposite of playful!
Dad still lives with us at 99. But I’ve shifted. Now, my life comes before duty. Now I get to play.
Free to play. This is what I want for you.
The Power of Small Transformational Retreats
There is magic in joining a small group of women in a transformative journey. Just by saying "yes!" to investing to showing up, you make a commitment to yourself to do your life differently in your next act. You take control of your life story.
Coming together with other women, you amplify your dreams and heal what holds you back from believing that you deserve to have life's simple pleasures. You discover the joy of your unique self, fully expressed when you declare it out loud within this safe container of support.
I know the power of being held in sacred space with other women. I have experienced my messy truth there and it changed forever changed my life.
This is what I want for you.
I Feel Confident
Participating in Janet's program got me and my life after retirement moving in new directions. I was able to see possibilities based on my talents and passions that could direct my future. I have new perspectives about things that I have allowed to get in my way and am ready to move beyond them. I feel confident about dealing with finances, seeking new experiences, and making social connections. Thank you, Janet!

The Retire F.R.E.E Framework™
You will experience the simple four-step framework that anyone can use to create a joyful, purposeful life.
FEEL: Tap into your intuition and tune into your heart to get crystal clear on how you want to feel in your next act.
RELEASE: Get present to your old story - the fears and limiting beliefs that are blocking your way - and release them forever.
ENVISION: Paint a Kodachrome picture of the dreams, feelings, people, and adventures that you want to bring into being in your next act.
EMBODY: Write your new rules for living the life you've been waiting for.
I'm Now Living with Intention and Zest
Janet has been by my side step by step, an attentive and encouraging sounding board for my ideas and a wise resource for growth and change. I began my retirement with a pretty good understanding of what I'm good at and what I care about, but working with Janet helped me tap into an essential third dimension: What energizes and engages me? What's my 'mojo'? I'm now living with intention and zest, drawing not only on Janet's self-discovery exercises but also on her tips for 'staying on the path.'
Open Your Heart and your Head will Follow
Most people think that planning their retirement years is a head game. If they think hard enough and read enough books, they’ll figure it out. I get it. I thought that too. It kept me isolated and running around in circles for years.
Here’s the truth:
You have everything you need to create the life you’ve been waiting so long for. You just haven’t discovered it yet.
You know yourself well. You’ve been through marriage, divorce, health scares, therapy, career advancement, teenagers. Your own childhood.
You don’t need more books or lectures about how to be old and happy. Because you don't get joy from reading a book and you don't get intimacy from a lecture.
When you share your truth with like-hearted women, you open to receiving a whole new level of connection into your life.
Like-hearted women are who you will meet at the Free to Play Retreat.
