What it's about
When a long chapter ends — a role, a career, an identity you'd worn for decades — the hardest part usually isn't the empty diary. It's the blank page. Someone asks "so what do you do?" and, for the first time in years, you don't have a clean reply.
Rewriting the Next Chapter is a small, time-boxed group that helps you take stock honestly, work out what you actually want next, and take the first real steps toward it — with structure, gentle accountability, and the company of people asking the same questions at the same stage of life.
What we'll cover
Six themes, one a week — each with a short conversation together and a little reflection in between.
Where you are now
An honest stock-take of what's ending, what's shifting, and what you're carrying into the next chapter.
What the old chapter gave you
The identity, structure and status underneath the role — so you know what's worth replacing, and what isn't.
What you actually want next
Your values, your energy, and the shape of work and life that would genuinely suit you now.
Experiments, not leaps
Designing small, low-risk tests toward the next chapter instead of betting everything on one big jump.
The story you tell
Rewriting how you describe yourself and your next chapter — and saying it out loud until it fits.
Your plan, and keeping momentum
A next-chapter plan you'll actually use, and a way for the group to keep each other going afterwards.
How it works
Live, together
We meet weekly for six weeks, as a group, over video — a relaxed, no-slides conversation, not a lecture.
A genuinely small group
Capped at up to eight people, so everyone is heard and the group becomes real support, not an audience.
Between sessions
Short reflections and worksheets, plus a private group space in the community to share progress and cheer each other on.
The commitment
About 90 minutes a week together, plus a little reflection in your own time. Six weeks, start to finish.
Your facilitator
Mags Treanor
Mags is a psychologist, coach and writer — and living proof that the second half can be the most interesting. She went back to college at 59 and finished her MSc, with distinction, at 61. She coaches senior professionals through exactly these transitions and writes The Next Decade for over a thousand readers on the same journey.
Her work draws on the psychology of ageing, work and identity — no hype, no deficit stories about getting older, just honest, useful thinking and warm, practical company.
