Next Phase connects people with trusted resources, practical opportunities, and step-by-step guidance for life's most important transitions.






Next Phase exists to help people overcome life's obstacles by connecting them with trusted resources, practical opportunities, and step-by-step guidance. Whether you're looking for housing, a career, education, financial assistance, or a fresh start, we're here to help you navigate your next chapter with confidence.
Too many people don't know where to turn when life changes. Valuable programs, scholarships, apprenticeships, housing assistance, and career opportunities exist—but they're often scattered across hundreds of websites. Next Phase brings them together in one place so you can spend less time searching and more time moving forward.
Dr. Marita Kinney is a Board Certified Life Coach, educator, author, and founder of Next Phase. After helping thousands of individuals transform their lives through coaching, publishing, and education, she created Next Phase to make life-changing resources easier to find. Her mission is to remove barriers, simplify the search for opportunities, and help people confidently take their next step.
“I created Next Phase because I know what it feels like to need answers but not know where to find them.”
This platform was built to help people discover opportunities, remove barriers, and find practical resources for life's next chapter. Whether you're looking for a new career, housing, education, financial resources, or a fresh start, my hope is that Next Phase helps you move forward with confidence.
