Patricia Has Worked With…
Not Sure What To Do Next?
Money isn’t everything. We’ve heard it, we’ve lived it, and by this point we all know that it’s pretty much true. So why do 99% of our conversations on retirement revolve around IRAs, 401Ks, pensions and mutual funds?
Sure it pays to be smart, but the smartest and savviest among us can reach retirement and feel like they have 30+ directionless years looming ahead, free and open but totally daunting.
In fact, losing your former identity in retirement, stepping away from the career and image you’ve worked so hard to build, may be holding you back — long after you’ve paid your dues and are ready to move forward — from taking the plunge.
Finding a new “Why” in this next phase of life can be challenging. Finding the “How” can feel impossible.
Patricia Cavanaugh started The 3rd Act with a mission: to help you take control of your retirement and fill it up not by just being busy but with meaningful, enriching opportunities that can help you create some of the happiest years of your life.
Your Bountiful Life…
The 3rd Act was founded and is led by Patricia Cavanaugh — a seasoned psychotherapist and licensed coach who has helped hundreds of retirees find their path and purpose in this phase of life.
Starting with a free discovery call, Patricia will help you explore both what motivates you and your vision for the future so you can move into retirement with confidence instead of uncertainty.
Tackle tough realities like:
- What really matters to me beyond the identity I’ve shaped throughout my career?
- How can I rekindle the drive to learn new things or rediscover forgotten interests?
- Can I find purpose and excitement while balancing rest and ease?
Let Patricia and The 3rd Act help you design a life that’s exciting, fulfilling and, most importantly, attuned to your unique needs, talents and passions. Let’s build a life you love!

3 Simple Steps to a Brighter Future
Step 1
Assess Your Life
Schedule a free 30-minute call with Patricia to talk about what makes you tick.
Dig in to what your passions are and the legacy you’d like to leave behind, and start gaining clarity on your micro and macro visions for the future. Then, get excited for the real work to begin!
Step 2
Discover The Possibilities
Retirement is not one size fits all. Once you uncover what your ideal lifestyle looks like, we will help you set goals and get ready for action.
The limits we place on ourselves can serve as blinders. Patricia will help you discover opportunities ahead you may have never considered.
Step 3
Plan Your Future
We’ll help you put your vision into action. This could include structuring a shortened work week, finding opportunities for service, realizing dreams of travel, and claiming your meaningful life.
Your time is your own. Find ways to grow and expand, or to slow down, while still staying true to who you are.
Am I Ready for the 3rd Act?
Do you daydream about retirement and what it will be like for you? Or do your friends and family keep asking when you’re going to slow down and start enjoying life?
The retirement we’re often programmed to accept seems to signal old age, sacrificing what we’ve worked hard to build, and a pacing that doesn’t seem to fit who you truly are.
Take this free quiz from The 3rd Act to determine where you are on your journey to retirement and what you can do to build a life that’s big and full of possibility.
