Who Are You When the Title’s Gone?
Workshop 3
A 90-minute virtual workshop on identity, purpose, and who you are beyond your career.
Here is a question most retirement planning never asks.
When you stop working – when the title is gone, the calendar is empty, and the structure disappears – who are you?
Not what do you do.
WHO ARE YOU?
For most Gen Xers who have been in professional life for 20 or 30 years, this question is more confronting than any financial shortfall. Because the honest answer, for many people, is: I am not entirely sure.
Work has been doing a lot of quiet work in the background. Providing not just income but identity, structure, status, a sense of being needed, and a reason to get up. When it stops, all of that stops with it – unless you have built something else to replace it.
This workshop is where that building starts.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Purpose-driven people do not drift into retirement. They design their way into it. This workshop gives you the tools to start.
THE DEEP IDENTITY AUDIT
Going beyond job titles and roles, you will excavate what you actually value, what gives you energy, and what your life needs to feel meaningful. This is the identity work that most retirement preparation completely ignores.
THE PORTFOLIO IDENTITY
You will begin building a portfolio identity – multiple sources of meaning, purpose, and self that do not depend on a single role or employer. This is what gives you stability when the career identity falls away.
THE PURPOSE ANCHORS
You will identify three purpose anchors – things you can invest in now that will carry genuine meaning into your retirement years. Specific, realistic, and yours.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This workshop is for you if you are a Gen Xer between 45 and 65 who:
- Suspects that more of your identity is tied to your job than is healthy, and wants to do something about it
- Has felt moments of quiet anxiety about who you will be when the career ends
- Wants to build a sense of self that is portable, resilient, and not dependent on an employer
- Is ready to ask the questions that financial planning never gets around to
This is not therapy, and it is not a career coaching session. It is structured self-reflection with practical outputs – the kind of work that takes an afternoon to start and years to fully appreciate.

ABOUT YOUR FACILITATOR
| Antonia Varbanova is a Gen X Retirement Preparation Specialist and the founder of Connecting Fragments. She has lived across three continents and five countries, reinvented her career three times, and spent years observing – up close – what separates the people who thrive in retirement from the ones who drift through it. Her work is built on one foundational insight: financial preparation is necessary but not sufficient. The people who build genuinely good retirement years do the identity work, the purpose work, and the lifestyle design work before they get there – not after. The 5-Dimensional Retirement Plan workshop series exists to make that preparation structured, practical, and actually doable. |
FAQ
What platform is the workshop on?
Zoom. You will receive the link in your confirmation email. No account required – just click to join.
Do I need any special materials?
Just pen and paper, and ideally your printed workbook. We will send the workbook PDF with your confirmation email.
What if I miss a workshop I have paid for?
The 48-hour replay is available to all registered participants and is sent within an hour of the live session closing. If you purchased series access, your replay entitlement carries to every workshop in the series.
Do I have to attend all five workshops?
No. Each workshop is a standalone session. You can register for one or all five. That said, the five dimensions are interconnected – the full series produces a more complete picture than any single workshop on its own.
Is this a sales pitch for a bigger program?
No. The workshop is a standalone session with real, practical value regardless of what you do next. There is a brief, honest mention of the Gen X Retirement Protocol at the close – because it is the natural next step for people who want to go deeper – but there is no pressure and no pitch.
