Practical Guidance. Empowered Decisions. A Plan That’s Yours.

The Navigating Solo™ Planning Series is a step-by-step collection of eight thoughtfully crafted guides designed to support adults who are aging without a built-in support system.

Each guide addresses a key area of solo aging, offering essential questions to consider, helpful tools and worksheets, and practical preparation tips to help you build a personalized, proactive plan. The guides are designed to work together or independently — allowing you to start where you are and move forward at your own pace.
