Childhood friends, Iris Goldfein and Monica Israel, are both highly accomplished professionals in male saturated fields, who approached retirement with apprehension and excitement.  They co-founded DefyingGravity.life in 2018 with the mission to “cultivate new norms and create new pathways through engaging conversation and expert advice” regarding the transition to life after a career.  Iris and Monica discuss their own retirement challenges and encourage women to defy the weights of both societal and personal judgments. They want women to be the writers of their own stories and to have purpose however the individual defines it.   DefyingGravity.life offers its members webinars, a Resource Library, Newsletters and an online forum for ongoing conversations. 

"Our vision for DefyingGravity.life is to solve a feminist crisis." - Monica and Iris
