Long term care isn’t just about nursing homes—it’s about protecting your independence, your loved ones, and the retirement you’ve worked hard to build. 💙

A Thrivent long term care conversation helps you understand your options, plan ahead, and prepare for what life may bring. Learn how proactive planning can help protect your income, assets, and family—no matter the future.

Join us as we walk through The 4 Truths of Long Term Care and why having a plan in place can bring clarity, confidence, and peace of mind.

It’s hard to believe it’s already been two months since Liz & I traveled to the Business Development Conference (BDC).

BDC brings teams together from across the country to explore new Thrivent resources, marketing and branding updates, and strategies focused on growing practices while making a meaningful impact in the communities we serve. Travis and Liz came back with fresh ideas and insights to help us continue delivering value to our clients and community partners.

Take a look at a few highlights from our trip!📸

Over the last several weeks, we may have been quieter on social media, but behind the scenes we’ve been anything but still. In person, we’ve been fully hands-on and pedal to the metal with our clients and business development 🚀

During this time, we’ve:
- Attended two conferences 🎤
- Traveled out of state multiple times for client work ✈️
- Continued studying for upcoming certifications 📚
- Helped clients hit key milestones and prepare for tax season 💼
- Made intentional space for family and for the Lord ❤️🙏

Each of these experiences has strengthened our knowledge, sharpened our skill sets, and given us the clarity and rest needed to serve our clients even better. We’re grateful for the growth, the momentum, and the trust our clients place in us as we help them pursue their financial goals 🌱

More details—and plenty of photos—are on the way as we catch our breath and share what we’ve been building 📸✨
