You’ve Planned Your Retirement. But Have You Planned Your Life After Flying?
You probably know the practical things you need to think about.
Your pension.
Your benefits.
Your paperwork.
Your final flight.
But there’s another question that can be much harder to answer:
“What am I actually going to do with my life after this?”
For years, flying has given you more than a paycheque.
It has given you routine.
Community.
Travel.
Connection.
Purpose.
A lifestyle that is very hard to explain to anyone who hasn’t lived it.
So when retirement gets close, it’s completely understandable if part of you starts wondering:
💭 What will my days look like?
💭 What will give me purpose?
💭 What will light me up when I’m no longer flying?
💭 How do I create a life that feels just as meaningful?
That’s what this workshop is about.
Not just retiring from aviation.
But starting to figure out what you’re retiring toward. 💛
"I'm blown away. I just listened to your first session. I was not expecting all that. I was writing my life away taking snapshots. I didn't realize I had so many goals within me that I wanted to accomplish - so thank you. I'm so freaking excited!"

Meet Your Host ✨
Jamie Smith
Flight Attendant of 30 Years • Certified Life Coach • Happy For No Reason® Trainer
I know what it feels like to love this career with your whole heart.
The crew. The travel. The purpose. The feeling of walking through that aircraft door and knowing exactly who you are and why you're there.
And I also know the quiet terror that creeps in when you start to wonder...
"What happens when this is over?"
After 30 years in aviation, I watched some of the most capable, brilliant, big-hearted people I've ever known leave the skies — and completely lose themselves.
Not because they weren't enough.
But because nobody had ever helped them imagine what was possible on the other side.
That broke my heart. And it lit a fire in me.
So I became a certified life coach, trained with Marci Shimoff — #1 New York Times bestselling author of Happy for No Reason — and created Beyond the Skies Academy specifically for airline crew navigating this transition.
Because you have given so much to this industry.
You deserve a next chapter that gives something back to you. 💛
And I genuinely believe — with everything I have — that your best chapter might not be the one you just lived.
It might be the one you're about to begin. ✨
Inside Cleared for Takeoff, You’ll Discover
✈️ KEY 1: Understand the Emotional Journey of Retirement
You’ll learn about the phases many people move through after retirement — and why the transition can feel surprisingly different once the initial excitement wears off.
Understanding what can happen emotionally helps you prepare for it instead of being blindsided by it.
💛 KEY 2: Start Building Your Life After Flying Before You Leave
Most people prepare for the financial side of retirement.
We’ll also look at the pieces that make a life feel good:
Purpose.
Routine.
Relationships.
Health.
Community.
Passions.
And the things that genuinely light you up.
🧭 KEY 3: Create a Clear Direction for What Comes Next
You do not need to reinvent your entire life overnight.
You simply need a place to start.
I’ll help you begin thinking intentionally about the kind of life you want to create — so retirement doesn’t feel like an empty ending.
It starts to feel like a new departure.
