We met the old-school way:

I was in the depths of online dating(iykyk)
Not getting anywhere.

I started telling everyone in my life that I was looking for my person and asking everyone to set me up.

At the time, I was also going to a weight lifting gym, working with a coach(who’s since started his own gym. Ascend Strength and Conditioning)

I quit weightlifting after a year and a half and Eli started a few months later, working with the same coach.

Then I got a text from Jared:
“Hey, I think you’d hit it off with this new guy at the gym; you’re both a little weird.”
(In a good way, ya know) 😅

I laughed and said to introduce us on a text thread.

The rest is history
And we’re getting married in two weeks!

Never be afraid to ask for what you want.
~~~~~
Thankful to this guy for introducing us.

Back at Wash Park this week!

Walking, talking, laughing with a group of incredible women.

There’s something powerful about spaces like this.

No pressure.
Just connection and support.

And it’s a good reminder.
Women aren’t just building wealth right now.

We’re shaping what it looks like going forward. Together. 👯‍♀️

So what do $50,000 questions actually look like?

They’re not complicated.

But they do require honesty.

Things like:
•Is my investment rate actually enough to support my goals? (It prob need to be more than 3%)
Am I truly paying myself first…
or just saying I am?

•Are the account types I’m using giving me the flexibility I need?
If I want to retire early…
am I building something I can actually access before then?

•If life threw me something unexpected…
do I have enough of a buffer to handle it without derailing everything else?

None of those are about cutting back.

They’re about direction.

Because most financial stress doesn’t come from small purchases.

It comes from not knowing if what you’re doing is actually working.

Not knowing if you’re on track.
Not knowing what needs to change.

Clarity doesn’t come from more rules.
It comes from better questions and taking action on the answers.

Which of these questions would give you the most clarity if you answered it honestly?

(Me ‘70’s vibing after answering all my $50k questions ✌️ ☮️ 🌼)

Ask $50,000 questions, not $5 questions.

I rarely start with the small stuff:
The coffee.
The subscriptions.
The little sweet treats.

Because most of the time,
that’s not where the real issue is.

It’s the bigger picture. 🖼️

*Is your saving and investing rate aligned with your goals?

*Is your emergency fund strong enough to handle the unexpected?

*Are the accounts you’re using actually supporting what you’re trying to build?

*Do you have enough flexibility built into your plan?

Those are the questions that move the needle. The ones that shape outcomes
over five, ten, twenty years.

Because once those pieces are in place…
What you spend on the small things
usually doesn’t matter all that much.

It only starts to matter when there’s no plan at all. When things feel unstructured.

When you’re left wondering
“Where is my money actually going each month?”

That’s where focus needs to shift.
Not toward restriction.
But toward building something intentional.

What’s one bigger financial move you’ve been putting off?

Building on yesterday’s post, it reminded me of something:

A lot of people hesitate to seek financial advice for the same reason I used to hesitate with coaching.

“I should be able to figure this out.”
“I already know what to do.”

And you’re not wrong.
You *can* figure a lot of it out on your own.

But that’s not really the point.

The value isn’t just in the information.
It’s in having someone to think through decisions with.
Someone who sees what you can’t.
Someone who helps you stay aligned when things feel uncertain.

A thought partner.

That’s the part that’s hard to replicate on your own.
And it’s usually the part people don’t realize they need until they experience it.

What’s something that got easier once you had the right support?

I’ve invested over $20K into myself over time.
And I don’t regret any of it.

At the time, I definitely hesitated to invest in coaching.

Paying thousands of dollars
just to talk through things felt… unnecessary.
I told myself I already knew what to do.
And in many ways, I did.

But there’s a difference between knowing
and actually doing.
There’s a difference between thinking clearly, zooming out to see the bigger picture
and thinking in circles on your own.

Every time I’ve invested in coaching or training, I’ve had that same moment of hesitation.
“Do I really need this?”
And every time, I’ve walked away grateful I did it.

Not because I learned something wildly new.
The value wasn’t just in the information.

I gained perspective I couldn’t create on my own.

Clarity I didn’t have before.
And accountability that actually moved things forward.

It was in having someone in my corner
helping me think, challenge my blind spots,
and keep me aligned with where I wanted to go.

That’s something you don’t get from doing it alone.

Have you ever invested in yourself in a way that changed how you think about things?

After beginning the year with markets pricing in multiple rate cuts, a sharply accelerating labor market and energy-driven inflation have meaningfully shifted the outlook toward potential policy tightening — creating a more complex backdrop for equities and fixed income alike. Senior Economist James McCann explains what this could mean for investors in our Weekly Market Wrap.

One thing I ponder often:

What’s the point of building a great financial plan
if it doesn’t actually support your life?

Not just someday.
But now.

Maybe it starts with:
-getting out of debt
-organizing wealth
-building a travel fund
-dialing in retirement contributions

The best plans I’ve seen
don’t just focus on the future.

They create space for:
• experiences
• relationships
• things that make life feel full

Because it’s not about choosing between
“living now” or “planning for later.”

It’s about finding a balance that makes both work.

And that looks different for everyone.

What’s one thing you’d want your plan to make possible in your life right now?

(Yes, I’m a dork when I travel…caught in the rain in Vietnam)

Day in the life as a Financial Planner…

One of those full, back-to-back days.

Started with a conversation on how to reposition inherited assets
aligning goals, tax strategy, and evolving priorities.

Then a call with a referral
talking through how to organize wealth, bringing everything into one place,
and start building toward financial freedom
and their vision of success, including owning land in retirement.

Next up, cash management
how much to keep on the sidelines, what goals need support now,
and where new opportunities fit into the bigger picture.

Wrapping the day with a long-time client
diving into Roth conversions and RMD strategy building a tax-efficient plan to support generational wealth.

Days like this are busy!

But this is the work I love.

Helping people build clarity,
passive income and
their version of success.

Feeling grateful for days like this. 😌
