Clarifying Purpose
for Modern Elders

— Shirley Edwards

About Me

Managing people and projects is challenging, even more so when some of your biggest projects involve your loved ones. As the mother of a son with significant health challenges as well as caregiver for her mother for more than two decades,

Shirley Edwards experienced that first-hand


Shirley has handled different powers of attorney and executorships for estates, as well as worked as a nonprofit executive and personal development coach. This taught her the importance of persistence, flexibility, and resilience.

Inspired by her father, who was a champion of public service in community sports, Shirley’s desire to help others make a difference has roots that go back to her very beginnings.


As a Life Purpose Coach who recently turned 65, Shirley became inspired by Jane Fonda’s TED talk Third Act. As a result, she created Boomer 3.0 to help people, in their own third act, find their next purpose that makes the world a better place.

She spent her early years successfully customizing jobs for people with disabilities based on their skills and intentions. Shirley listens intently and asks the right questions to help people find their unique direction.


Since then, Shirley has worked with hundreds of clients, discovering what truly inspires them as well as guiding them on their journey to build their dreams.

Not only can Shirley help you find your direction, but she also has the skills to help you build your personal legacy project. Over the course of twenty years, she has helped many clients discover what they truly want to do. This includes social enterprises for both profit and public service.


Most of all, Shirley loves people. She has built relationships with a network of highly skilled and ethical professionals that can provide you with additional specific expertise. Collectively, she has access to a wide range of other organizations and resources that can help you live ‘on purpose’.
