AUTHOR: Elaine has never been one to follow the traditional rulebook-mostly because she has an adventurous and caring heart and loves to live life on her terms. A lifelong learner, adventurer, and storyteller, she has mastered the art of embracing life's messiness with humor, resilience, and a touch of curiosity. From building businesses to guiding others through their own OneBigLife journeys, she's spent decades proving that starting over isn't failure-it's just another chance to get it right (or at least come up with another good story).Now ""rewired, not retired,"" Elaine continues to inspire, teach, and occasionally stir the pot. Whether she's leading retreats, mentoring future changemakers, or reminding people that expecting the unexpected is a life skill, she's living proof that age has nothing to do with relevance. She's a firm believer in accumulating love, playing to your strengths, and never underestimating the power of a well-timed Elaine-ism.When she's not busy disrupting outdated notions of what life should look like, you'll find her soaking up new experiences, spending time with family, or happily reminding people that endings are just as important as beginnings.
