Yulia Gufranova, CEO
Yulia holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Economics. As a child, she cherished spending time with her grandparents, engaging in conversations about life, religion, and relationships. During her college years, she cared for her grandfather, who had dedicated his career to being a teacher and school principal. These moments with him sparked her interest in how perspectives evolve with age and how uncertainty can often grow over time. She observed that while older individuals possess greater knowledge, they may also feel less assured about various aspects of life.
Yulia co-authored a book on psychosomatics, exploring the connection between mental well-being, mindset, and physical health.
As a mother of three and a caregiver to her retired parents, Yulia has experienced firsthand how family dynamics shift over the years.
“Talking with older adults changes how you see the world,” Yulia explains. “It gives you the opportunity to pause and view life from a new angle.”
Having previously owned an educational business for younger generations, Yulia now brings lifelong learning to seniors. Yulia’s approach to aging: Retirement isn’t the end—it’s a brand-new beginning! With work behind you and your kids grown and independent, you finally have the time to focus on yourself. This is your time to enjoy life to the fullest! Let us be part of this journey and help make these years truly golden for you.
