Encore Income: How Women Over 50 Are Creating Residual Income on Their Terms

Retirement doesn’t mean what it used to.

Gone are the days of trading your heels for a rocking chair, or watching the world go by while clipping coupons and waiting for the next social security check. Women today are healthier, wiser, more energized—and far from done.

If anything, this season is a powerful invitation to rise into your encore.

And for many of us, that encore includes income.

We’re Not Done—We’re Just Getting Started

Let’s be honest: most of us didn’t grow up imagining we’d start a new business in our 50s, 60s, or even 70s. But here we are—asking deeper questions, looking for meaningful work, and craving flexibility and freedom more than ever.

We’ve spent decades building families, careers, and communities. And now? We want to do something that matters to us.

Whether you’re feeling restless in retirement or ready to create a second act that lights you up, let me tell you this:

You’re not too late. You’re right on time.

Why Residual Income Matters More Than Ever

Residual income isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a life-changer.

It’s income that continues to flow long after the initial work is done. Whether it’s through wellness coaching, affiliate programs, product partnerships, or online courses, residual income gives you:

• Time freedom – More moments for what really matters.

• Location freedom – Work from home, the beach, or wherever your grandkids live.

• Financial security – Especially important in a world where savings don’t always stretch far enough.

• Purposeful work – Doing something that adds value to others and fuels your soul.

How I Chose to Build Residual Income My Way

When my 35-year career in corporate sales leadership ended—suddenly and not by choice—I was forced to face a tough question: What now?

Retirement wasn’t on my dance card. I had too much energy, too much experience, and too much heart left to give.

That’s when Arbonne entered my life. Not as a “side hustle,” but as a calling.

I was already passionate about wellness and holistic aging. I’d spent years learning about clean ingredients, gut health, hormone balance, and the power of purpose. What I found in Arbonne was a way to serve others while also supporting myself—and I could do it authentically.

No pressure. No pretending. Just real conversations, real products, and real freedom.

The Myths That Hold Women Back

If you’ve ever thought…

• “I’m too old to start something new.”

• “I’m not tech-savvy enough.”

• “I don’t want to be salesy.”

• “What will people think?”

...please hear me: those are stories, not facts.

You don’t need to be an expert in social media. You don’t need to become someone you’re not. And you certainly don’t need to fit a mold. What you do need is a willingness to grow and a desire to serve.

Everything else can be learned—and I’m living proof.

What Freedom Feels Like

For me, it’s not just about money.

Freedom looks like…

• Booking flights to visit my grandkids without checking my bank account.

• Walking alongside women rediscovering their purpose.

• Feeling energized because I’m taking care of my health and helping others do the same.

• Building a business that feels like a natural extension of who I am.

It’s not hustle. It’s harmony.

There’s Room at the Table

I know what it feels like to start over. I know what it’s like to wonder if anyone will take you seriously. I also know the joy of creating something that matters, something that gives back, something that builds a legacy.

If you’re curious about creating residual income in a way that feels aligned with your encore life—I’d love to talk.

There’s no pressure. Just possibility. ✨
