From career-woman to wife/partner, and from caring mom to single-motherhood, separation and divorce – women go through more transitions during a lifetime than most of us realize. And through it all, women often juggle several balls simultaneously, doing the best they can, while often hoping for the best. However, LIFE HAPPENS, and that’s why we’re here to help women navigate through all of those transitions safely and securely.

New Investment Manager
Preparing for the loss of a loved one who controlled the household financial planning and investments.
The idea of losing a loved one is a scary thought.

Divorcees
Your divorce put you through the ringer, and now your world feels turned upside down.
You’re starting to think about retirement. This next phase of life might mean not working at all, changing fields, reducing your hours, starting a business, or volunteering to change the world.
There are a mountain of financial decisions to make… on your own.
- How will your financial settlement affect your lifestyle?
- If you’re getting a lump sum, how do you use it wisely?
- What happens when alimony and child support come to an end?
- What if you’re paying the support? How does that impact your picture?
- Will you have enough money to support yourself and the kids, now and in the future?
- How will you pay your bills? Will you need to go back to work?
- Can you still meet your goals for the future?
Just thinking about all the decisions you face is exhausting.
You may not have the time or energy to quickly become an expert on all things money an investments. What if you could find a trusted partner, to help you plan for both the near future and the far-off. To help you live your best life because you’ve been through some stuff.
If you fall into any of these categories and are looking for a trusted individual who you can openly discuss your finances within a judgment free zone, please feel free to reach out. I look forward to learning more about you and to being of service.
