My husband was recently featured as a patient success story with Allina.

He is a wonderful storyteller, and I feel like they really captured what we all experienced.

If it is your time, or your doctor has recommended it, PLEASE GO GET YOUR COLONOSCOPY, or whatever check-up you have been avoiding. It just might save your life, and we all need you here for as long as we can get you.

TJ went in for a routine colonoscopy after experiencing minor symptoms and learned he had stage 3C re**al cancer. With the support of his Allina Health Cance...

This Women’s History Month, I am excited to celebrate the leadership, innovation, and lasting impact of women whose contributions have shaped our past, present, and future.

Because... "Behind every great woman is another great woman." - Kate Hodges

For me, there are so many women who have lifted me up, dusted me off, and reminded me who I was and why I am here. Your stories matter, our history matters, and I am so thankful for all the women who came before me who fought so that I can be where I am today.

The timing of your Social Security claim impacts your benefits, and there is no "right" time to take it... it is based on your plan and individual needs and goals.

Your benefit will look quite different depending on when you start taking it, and I am happy to help you make the best claiming decision for you and your retirement plan.

How old you are when you start taking your benefit will impact how much you get.

I have gotten weirdly into birding lately-maybe it is a thing that comes with being 42 and wanting to spend more time outside than on my phone.

Anyway, this Great Blue Heron was stalking us on our trip to Northern Minnesota.

I think technically it was stalking fish, but it felt like every time we turned around it was there, and it did not care about us AT ALL. It was so cool. It was one of those things we just don't see in our every day, and every time we saw it, it was like magic.

I hope you had your own magic this summer!

Squeaks is so happy we are back into a routine. This cat HATES change, and she gave me the belly of approval this morning, so I think she has forgiven our summer craziness and unpredictability.

I think of September as a kind of mini new year. It is a chance to reset, rethink priorities, and decide what I want the rest of the year to look like. If you are in the same mindset as Squeaks and I, and you would like to get started on your financial plan, I would be honored to be a part of your team!

Apparently it is big bird season here in Minnesota. In the last week on two separate walks I ran into turkeys and a blue heron.

It gives me the itch to go bird watching and see more big birds. Is that just a thing that happens to you in your 40's?!
