Something I wish I actually understood 5 years earlier is the 4 agreements:

1. Be impeccable with your word
2. Don’t take anything personally
3. Don’t make assumptions
4. Always do your best

The game changer for me was number 2. Being able to not let others control your emotions can make a huge difference in how you view many situations.

Has anyone else read this book or had thoughts on it?

A little late to the post, but it felt worth sharing. I hit my golden birthday this year, and turning 28 really had me thinking about how fast each year seems to fly by. There are days I catch myself wishing I was younger, but then I remind myself that growing older is a privilege and so is continuing to experience new things along the way.

Enjoy a clip of my route from that day, my knees were not impressed with the cold haha

I’m grateful for everyone who’s been part of my journey so far, and I’m looking forward to continuing to grow the relationships that make life what it is!

Lately, I’ve noticed a pattern in conversations with people.
It’s not that they’re panicked about their money. It’s more that they feel stuck. They’ve done a lot of the “right things” over the years, saved, invested, paid things off, but now they’re not quite sure what the next move should be. With markets moving around, rates still higher than they used to be, and taxes getting more complicated, it’s hard to know whether doing nothing is smart or just delaying a decision.
What I see most often is people waiting for things to feel clearer before making changes. The problem is that clarity usually comes after you slow down and actually look at everything together, not before.
You don’t need a perfect forecast to make good financial decisions. You need a plan that makes sense for how you actually live, what you want the next chapter to look like, and how your money is meant to support that. When that’s clear, the noise matters a lot less.
If you’ve been meaning to step back and get organized, or you’ve had that quiet feeling that things deserve a second look, this is usually a good time to do it.
Your money, your story — let’s make it a good one.

Grateful to everyone who participated in our Christmas Mini Photo Shoot benefiting the New Day Women’s Center! Together, we raised over $300 and collected many much-needed donation items to support our community this holiday season.

It was great meeting so many families and giving back in a meaningful way. Thank you all for helping make a difference! 🎄✨

This was my second year partnering with the UWGB Student-Athlete Advisory Committee for our tie-blanket project, and thanks to additional support, we were able to expand the impact even more than last year. With the help of Shannon Coughlin’s Thrivent Action Team, and extra fundraising efforts, we secured more funds for the project and were able to create nearly double the number of blankets for the Green Bay community.

After the blankets were tied, UWGB student-athletes delivered them throughout the community, donating to local shelters, schools, police stations, and hospitals to help keep Green Bay warm this winter. I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who supported this project and helped make a bigger difference this year.
