Retirement Coach · Hope’s Open DoorA former federal employee turned retirement coach. Helps clients rebuild identity, purpose, and rhythm for life after work.
Both sides of retirement
If you’re a federal employee nearing retirement, you’ve likely run the numbers more than once: your pension, your TSP, your Social Security timing. That work counts. But it only covers the part of retirement you can see.
Think of retirement as an iceberg. Your financial plan is the part above the water. Below it sits everything that shapes how retirement actually feels.
On November 24, financial advisor Amanda Alksnitis and retirement coach Hope Dolan, a former federal employee herself, will bring both sides together in one live conversation.
Your pension
Your TSP
Your Social Security timing
Who am I once the job title is gone?
What will my Monday mornings look like?
Where will I find my people?
What gives me purpose now?
What we’ll cover
Why retirement tends to run longer, feel stranger, and carry more emotion than most plans allow for.
A three-bucket way to organize your money, a quick readiness self-check, and an honest look at Social Security timing.
Three illustrative scenarios that may feel familiar, including a retiree with 32 years of federal service.
A simple self-assessment to keep, plus time to ask your questions.
Days (and counting)
of life after traditional retirement age. With retirement now routinely spanning 20+ years, it’s a full life stage, not an epilogue.
