An Invitation

You're not here to learn
how to be a coach.
You're here to finally get paid for what you've been doing for free.

The Pretirement Blueprint™ is a 90-day group mentorship for GenX professionals who already have the expertise — and need the system to package it, price it, and put it in front of the people who will pay for it.

The Goal is Simple
  • 1 Your first three paying clients in 90 days
  • 2 A coaching income running alongside your job — not instead of it
  • 3 A clear path to $10K–$20K/month built on credentials, not content

If you've done the retirement math and the numbers don't work…

If people have been coming to you for advice your entire career — for free…

If you're done circling "someday" and ready to actually build…

This is where we start.

No Certification
No Audience
No Job Quit
Why Most People Stay Stuck

The problem isn't your experience.
It's that no one has shown you how to make it an income.

Most GenX professionals don't struggle to build a coaching business because they lack the skills.
They struggle because every available resource was built for someone else.

Option A
Financial Advisors
Show you the problem. Point to a savings target you can't reach. Shrug and move on.
Option B
Business Coaches
Assume you're starting from zero expertise. Teach you to build an audience. Designed for someone half your age.
Option C
Certification Programs
Charge you to validate what you already know. Don't bridge the gap between credentials and income.
More credentials don't fix that.
More research doesn't fix that.
More waiting doesn't fix that.

and starts acting like a plan.

Why I Built This

It didn't start working when I worked harder.
It started working when I built from what I already knew.

I exited a consciousness business that did $1.4M in lifetime revenue — and rebuilt from scratch in 2024.

Not because I had a bigger platform or a better certification. Because I had a system for packaging lived expertise into a business that actually runs.

"The Pretirement Blueprint™ exists to put that same system in your hands — so that the next 15 years of your working life fund the retirement your 401k never will."
This Is Intentionally Not for Everyone

Is this you?

The Pretirement Blueprint™ is designed for GenX professionals who already have the expertise — and are ready to charge for it.

✦ This is for you if
âś“
You've done the retirement math and the numbers don't work
âś“
People already come to you for advice — and you've never charged for it
âś“
You want to build alongside your job, not instead of it
âś“
You're done preparing and ready to implement
âś“
You want clients, not followers — an income, not a personal brand
This is not for you if
âś•
You need money by Friday with no runway at all
âś•
You're still in the thinking-about-it phase
âś•
You want a content strategy or audience-growth system
âś•
You have no lived expertise or experience to draw from
âś•
You're looking for passive income without client-facing work

"Career experience and business success are not the same problem —
and the path from one to the other requires a different strategy than anything you've been shown."

The Pretirement Blueprint™

Here's what we build together
in 90 days.

Everything inside The Pretirement Blueprint™ is built around one outcome: your first three paying clients. Not theory. A working coaching business, built from what you already know.

01
The Vague Slayer™
Know Your Number

Before we build anything, we run the real numbers. What you actually need to save each month for the next 15 years to retire without depending on Social Security. Once you see it clearly, the coaching business stops being an interesting idea and becomes the only rational plan.

â—Ž
02
The Rewiring Duo™
Rewire Your Energy

Twenty-five years of high-stakes professional life leaves a mark. Most women at this stage are running on a stress-wired nervous system optimized for survival — not for the bold, visible action that signs clients. We fix that before we build anything. Less than 15 minutes a day.

✦
03
The Unscatter GPT Trio™
Plant Your Flag

One person. One problem. Positioning so clear the right people recognize themselves immediately — with pricing that reflects 25 years of expertise, not a certification you got last year. We angle your offer toward the leading, stable end of your market. About 30 minutes once the inputs are clear.

⬡
04
Ophelia™ + Mela™
Build Your Offer

Something complete enough to sell and compelling enough that the right person says finally when they hear it. Your promise, proof, process, price, and risk reversal — output directly into a Google Doc and a visual model you can pitch from tomorrow. No website needed.

â—‡
05
Scout™ + The Seed Session Scripts™
Start Your Conversations

This is where it stops being theoretical. You already have more warm contacts than you think. We'll use your existing network to turn 10 conversations into market data — and out of those 10, you'll typically find three who want to be clients. Not content. Not ads. Real conversations with people who already know you.

→
Your Outcomes

Not a plan.
A practice.

  • 1 Your retirement number — and a coaching income target that closes it
  • 2 A rewired baseline so the woman who shows up to conversations is confident, not white-knuckling
  • 3 Positioning that's unmistakably yours: one person, one problem, rates that reflect your track record
  • 4 An offer you can sell tomorrow — complete, priced, in a Google Doc
  • 5 Paying clients, signed through real conversations with your warm market

Fast Start

1:1 Onboarding Call

Before the cohort begins, you get a private onboarding call with Christel. We take what you discovered with Una The Unscatterer GPT and build it into a personalized 12-week game plan.

Investment

It pays for itself
with one client.

One client at a modest coaching rate covers this investment. The second client is pure profit. By month three, you have the data to know exactly what this practice is worth — and the proof that the market agrees.

This is a founding cohort. These are founding cohort terms. Future rounds will cost more.

2 & 3-pay plans available.

How to Apply

It's a small group.
I'm looking for the right people.

The Pretirement Blueprint™ is application-only. Because this is a small cohort with live calls and direct access, I work with a very limited number of clients per round. Not every application will move forward to a conversation. That's by design.

✦ Best-Case Scenario

We're aligned, and in 90 days you have three paying clients, a practice that's yours, and a retirement number that's actually getting smaller.

Worst-Case Scenario

We connect, explore it honestly, and decide it's not the right moment. No pressure. No obligation.

Apply Now →

Once this cohort fills, applications close until the next round opens.

P.S. The moment you apply, I'll send you Una The Unscatterer GPT. Together with her, you'll begin clarifying your positioning based on your lived experience. Right after, we'll book our 1:1 so we can take what you learned from Una and build it into a personalized game plan for our 12 weeks together. Your first 3 clients are right around the corner.

Frequently Asked Questions

The honest answers.

Is this a course or a group program? +

Neither, exactly. It's a live, cohort-based mentorship. Each week I release a new module, and you implement it before we get on a live coaching call together. You're building alongside me in real time — not watching pre-recorded content alone. Your questions shape the curriculum.

Do I need coaching credentials? +

No. The Pretirement Blueprint™ is built on the premise that you've been coaching — informally — your entire career. People come to you for advice because you have expertise. We don't add a certification to that. We add a system for charging for it.

Do I need to quit my job first? +

No. This is designed to run alongside your employment, not instead of it. The goal in 90 days is proof of concept — your first three paying clients. The income grows from there. You don't need to leave anything to begin.

How much time does this require each week? +

The modules are designed for a real life. Expect 3–5 hours per week: module content, implementation, and the live coaching call. The goal is always leverage and clarity, not volume.

What if I've already tried other programs? +

This is for people who have. The Pretirement Blueprint™ is different because it starts with your financial number, not a business model. And it's built for someone with deep expertise — not someone who needs to develop it first.

What happens after I apply? +

Within 48 hours, I'll review your application and respond. If it's a fit, I'll send you Una The Unscatterer GPT and we'll book your onboarding 1:1 before the cohort begins. If it's not the right moment, I'll tell you that too.

Is there a guarantee? +

No. Like the mentors I've invested in myself, I don't offer guarantees of specific results. What I offer is a proven method, direct access to me, and a system that works when you work it. Your results depend on your implementation. I provide the blueprint. You bring the commitment.

How do I know if I'm ready? +

If you have 20+ years of expertise people seek out for free, you've done the retirement math and the numbers don't work, and you're prepared to implement over 90 days rather than research for another six months — you're ready. The application will tell us both.

You've been coaching for 20 years.
You just haven't sent an invoice yet.

The expertise is there. The need is real. The window is not closing —
but it's also not getting longer.
