Reinvention for Real Life.
Thoughtful coaching, practical experiments, and smart strategies for navigating midlife, meaningful transitions, and the wonderfully messy art of growing older without getting old.
A community built for curious, thoughtful people over 50 who sense there’s always something new and interesting around the next corner—whatever life brings next.
What Is Coach in a Can?
Coach in a Can is part mindset, part movement, and part mobile coaching studio. It’s rooted in the belief that reinvention isn’t a one-time leap—it’s a series of thoughtful steps, experiments, and conversations that actually fit real life.
Built inside (and inspired by) my 1965 Airstream—my literal "can"—this platform offers coaching, tools, and practical insight for people navigating what’s next in midlife and beyond.
Whether you’re rethinking retirement, navigating a major transition, or simply asking better questions about how to live with more intention, Coach in a Can gives you direct access to real coaching—not generic, not canned—and tools that actually help.
What You'll Find Here
Coaching Kits: Short, focused guides for real-life transitions—retirement shifts, identity resets, purpose-finding, and more.
Digital Experiments: Try-it-yourself tools for exploring change with structure and self-awareness (without needing to journal about your inner child).
Courses & Workshops: Join me live or go at your own pace—learn how to reinvent with clarity, humor, and grounded perspective.
Real Coaching: Work with me 1:1, in small groups, or at live pop-up sessions (some of them right from the Airstream). Thoughtful, smart, and tailored to your life—not a template.
Community: Coming soon: A space for thoughtful conversations and shared experience with others asking, “Now what?”
Who It's For
You're in the right place if you're:
Over 50 and not interested in "retiring" from growth.
Ready for change but allergic to self-help fluff.
Curious about what’s possible, even if you don’t have the answers yet.
Craving insight that respects both your intelligence and your lived experience.
About Me
I'm Sean Carney—a certified coach with a background in leadership, neuroscience-informed coaching, and personal reinvention. I created Coach in a Can because I wanted a smarter, saner way to support people through big life shifts without pretending it’s all rainbows and gratitude journals.
This work is personal. I’m in my 50s, and I’ve lived the pivots, the uncertainty, and the disorientation of "what now?" Coach in a Can is how I share the tools, clarity, and conversations that have actually helped—no performance, no pressure.
