About Us 

We started Defying Gravity when we realized, during our own retirement journey, that we are the first generation of women of great accomplishment in the workplace to retire.  Women are struggling to leave their hard-fought careers, in part because we worry about somehow being less after our career ends; it feels like we are losing a huge part of our foundational identity.  We have called this the new feminist crisis—who will I be after my career ends?  

Defying Gravity was born with the vision statement to solve this feminist crisis and a mission statement that includes cultivating new norms and creating new pathways through engaging conversation and expert advice. 
   
Baby boomer women have been pioneers for their entire careers, going where no women have gone before.  We always carried the additional responsibility of knowing we were paving the way for the next generation of women.  This site is for us, as we face this difficult transition, and yet again, create a new path for those that follow, by creating a retirement journey that is as purposeful and exciting as our careers.  

Defying Gravity was built because we know that this is a brave generation of women and when we come together to share and strategize and solve a problem, the possibilities are endless and the outcomes will be provocative.
