Hello and welcome to the WELL LIFE company.
I am Kevin. I am 55, and after years of corporate burnout I felt a heavy burden to create this site and brand. It’s just an ordinary company where we care more about those adapting to life after 50 over profit or clicks. Meaningful content and encouragement is our number one goal. First, let me tell you a bit about me and where I am in life.
I lead a family. Have my best friend as my wife and two amazing daughters. Although, challenging as they are now in the mid 20’s and working on figuring out life as an adult.
I have an 87 year old mom I moved from Florida to Texas so that I can be closer and help take care of her. We’ve had a strained relationship most of my life so it’s been an emotional challenge for me.
My brother is 5+ years younger than me and had his own set of life problems but helped move him from Florida to Texas in 2023. This story may be a separate post altogether as there is lots of history to unpack.
After struggling to balance my own wellness, the health of my family, taking care of my elderly mom, brother and helping transition into life coach for two aspiring 20 somethings, I found it hard to stay focused and energetic on a consistent daily basis. I felt like I was on an emotional roller coaster. Managing well enough to look like all was well and that I was living the good life. But, that could not be farther than from where I really was and felt.
Compound this with a high stress job at one of the worlds top consulting firms where I’ve struggled with burnout, internal political challenges, and an ever changing world that put more pressure on how I do my job every day.
No one told me about the life transition that happens when you hit your 50’s (or near them). Grown kids launching into the world, empty nesting, no longer the young up and comer at work – rather the aging and out of touch person. The shift of taking care of elderly parents, perhaps other family members like me and my brother. Pressure from friends who may need help in the form of job transition. The overburdening of pressure to help everyone can be, well over-whelming.
This has brought me here. The thought that I can not surely be alone.
No matter your situation. Maybe similar to mine. Maybe, not. Either way I wanted to establish this as a destination for anyone in this phase of life who may need a safe place to come to for inspiration, tips, motivation, and place you can trust.
One promise I will make is that I will be fully transparent and real!
So, how and what does pursuing a well-lived life after 50 truly look like?
I think it involves and opens the door to the following:
Fitness
Recovery
Sleep
Nutrition
Faith / Purpose
Adventure
Community

I’m 55 years old. I started wake surfing a few years ago. I’m working on getting leaner. I’m helping my kids develop into young adults on the verge of starting their own families. I take care of my elderly mom. And, I am trying to be the best husband and friend I can to the woman I’ve been blessed with over 33 years. I’m convinced the best years of life aren’t behind us. They are ahead of us.
