Larry Freeborg is the founder of Stepping Through the Gate, a wise-elder coaching practice dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s most meaningful transitions.
A life transition coach, inspirational speaker, and author, Larry works primarily with people in the “Bonus Years” of life — those facing change, loss, reinvention, or the question of what comes next.
Drawing on decades of experience in strategic planning, leadership development, business growth, and personal coaching — along with his training in life coaching and equine-guided coaching — Larry helps individuals move beyond what has ended and step fully into new possibilities.
Larry is also available for keynote presentations and workshops, including his popular “Refire, Don’t Retire!” and “Life Purpose Primer” programs.
What Barriers and Gates Do You Need to Move Through to Achieve Your Dreams?
At times, we all encounter gates — moments when life feels blocked, uncertain, or no longer aligned with who we are becoming.
These gates may appear through loss, retirement, grief, career transitions, identity shifts, or the quiet realization that something needs to change.
Stepping Through the Gate exists to help you move forward — with clarity, intention, and renewed purpose.

Always At Choice
How do you move forward when life falls apart?
In his book Always At Choice, Larry shares the journey that shaped his life’s work — a season marked by the loss of his wife to leukemia, the elimination of his eighteen-year career during a recession, and the responsibility of raising four young children alone.
Through that experience, Larry discovered a powerful truth: while we cannot control what happens to us, we always retain the ability to choose how we respond.
Always At Choice offers reflection, insight, and practical guidance for anyone seeking healing, meaning, and forward movement after profound change.
