Hi, I’m Melissa — the financial planner behind Different Financial.

Whether we’re talking investments, insurance, retirement income planning, estate considerations, or simply getting organized and feeling confident again, my approach is hands-on, practical, and rooted in real-life conversations.

I work with families and individuals to build plans that fit their goals — and protect their progress along the way. Coaching, clarity, and long-term partnership are at the heart of what I do.

Thanks for being here and following along. I love sharing tools, insights, and stories that help you feel more in control of your financial journey.

Today we pause to recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

This day honours the Survivors of residential schools, remembers the children who never returned home, and acknowledges the enduring strength of Indigenous families, communities, and cultures. It is also a reminder that reconciliation is an ongoing responsibility—not just a one-day event.

Here are a few meaningful ways to learn and reflect:

🧡 Read books by Indigenous authors.
🧡 Explore the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 Calls to Action.
🧡 Watch educational events or resources from the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation.
🧡 Support Indigenous-owned businesses and local Indigenous organizations.
🧡 Read The Orange Shirt Story by Phyllis Webstad and learn about the history behind Orange Shirt Day.

Reconciliation begins with listening, learning, and taking meaningful action. Every step forward—no matter how small—helps build greater understanding and a more respectful future. 🧡
