I work with widows, divorcees, and women who have experienced major life transitions who are looking to safeguard the financial future of themselves and their families. Major life events can understandably leave women feeling overwhelmed, anxious and vulnerable when it comes to their finances; they want a professional to assure them that they are going to be ok... on their own. If you are a woman who is looking for a trusted and compassionate ally to build and protect the wealth of your family, maybe it's time we chat.

I work with widows to safeguard the financial future of themselves and their families. Given that the death of a spouse is the number one ranked life stressor, understandably widows can be left feeling overwhelmed, anxious and vulnerable when it comes to their finances; they want a professional to assure them that they are going to be ok... on their own.

Late last year 4 of my widowed girlfriends co-founded a wellness gift shop on the Danforth, appropriately named “Lost + Found”. Navigating through the world of young widowhood they found support and community through their shared experiences and wanted to use that to pursue and promote mental heath for others in their community.
Like virtually all small businesses, they were forced to shut their doors last month and move to an online platform. I reached out to them a few weeks ago to see if they would be able to curate a custom Covid Care Kit that I could send to clients and friends, hoping to bring a smile to people during what can sometimes feel like a gloomy time.
Below is a picture of the beautiful boxes they created for me (they even wrote handwritten notes to go with each box!) Everyone who has received one has been so appreciative of the gesture and I’m so grateful for all the thought that went into building the boxes.
If you are interested in providing members of your community with a unique gift while supporting these lovely women and local business through creating a custom care kit you can reach them via email at [email protected], or visit their online store for other gift ideas at lostandfoundto.com.
Thank you again girls and be well everyone!

So much truth to this list...

Do we really need to convince you that we won't go after your husband?

"Suggest Ways to Help Rather Than Ask" and "Provide Compassion, Not Pity" ar my 2 favorites from this list...

Whether it comes unexpectedly or after a long illness, losing a spouse is traumatic at best. At worst it can be debilitating. I know because, at age 35, I became a widow myself. While many people want to help, it can be difficult to know how to approach someone consumed by such overwhelming grief. I...

"The moment a woman is at her most vulnerable, she must make choices that will have an enduring impact on her wellbeing". Read more here...

Women make up 11 million of the 13 million bereaved spouses in the US, forced to cope with major life decisions when they are at their most vulnerable. Meanwhile, it can be nearly impossible to find a truly understanding friend

As this article points out, "It's not that women make better advisers... It's that prospects are now more vocal that they want diversity from the people they get advice from."

Financial advisory firms have seen an increase in requests from prospective clients who want to work with female financial advisers. However, women are still a minority in the wealth-management business.
