Certified retirement coach and business consultant, Dr. Ginny Curley, as the seventh of eight children, learned early how relationships, and their loss, shape our lives — insights deepened through decades of study and personal experiences in surviving a near-fatal heart attack and cancer. Today, as a certified retirement coach and consultant to family-owned businesses, Curley brings wisdom to questions of meaning, legacy, and what truly matters.

From a big family, Ginny Curley learned early to navigate complex relationships—deepening that knowledge with a theology and sociology degree, a master’s in counseling, and a Ph.D. in educational administration and leadership. After decades in higher education and leading organizational development in industry, she now helps family-owned businesses develop continuity and helps those nearer to retirement navigate change with clarity and confidence. As a survivor of a near-fatal heart attack and of cancer, Curley brings a hard-won clarity about meaning, legacy, and what makes a good life.
