“I didn’t retire. I reinvested — in me.”❤️
When Cynthia Fortlage looked at her retirement fund, she didn’t see a safety net. She saw a lifeline.
At 59, she made a decision most would call risky. Instead of using her savings to retreat, she used them to become. She invested in her gender transition — and in doing so, chose wholeness over fear.
For decades, Cynthia had played the part society handed her — a high-level executive, a six-figure salary, the outward image of success. But inside, she was disconnected.
Cynthia shows us that reinvention is not a luxury — it’s a right. That investing in yourself — your truth, your healing, your evolution — can be the most important financial decision you ever make.
She didn't spend her in fear of running out. She used it to make sure she didn't run out of herself.
Now, she speaks, teaches, mentors, and inspires. Not to prove her worth — but because she knows it.
In a world where we’re living longer, maybe the real question isn’t “Do I have enough to retire?” Maybe it’s, “Do I have enough to become who I really am?”
And what if our systems helped us answer yes?
