Another Myrtle Beach must-try: Lotus Den 🫒🌿

Everything was SO fresh. Their bread is even sourced from Benjamin’s Bakery in Surfside, and I’m still raving about these tomatoes.

We took advantage of happy hour and tried two flatbreads, the zucchini fritters, and the Ratta. Safe to say we already decided we’ll be back for their Thursday $1 jumbo wings.

You can tell there’s a lot of love in the cooking here, and every person we interacted with was incredibly kind and welcoming.

They’ve got daily specials and seasonal events too, so definitely check out what they have going on.

I love finding places like this around Myrtle Beach. Support y’all’s local restaurants, and send me the next place I need to try 🫶

Life Insurance Awareness Month ends today, but the need for protection does not. Liz Fiedler’s story shows how coverage can help a family continue the life, plans, and responsibilities that were already in motion. The best time to review protection is before it is needed.

Close the month by starting a conversation that can help protect the years ahead.

Truth Tuesday: Nobody cares about your life insurance policy.

They care that an emotional devastation doesn't become a financial devastation too.

They care that the house can stay the family home. That the kids can stay in their school and the plans for college don't disappear. That a spouse has time to grieve without every decision having a dollar sign attached to the solution. That a business has some breathing room while a family figures out what life looks like next.

That's what the policy is there to protect.
But there's another part of this that matters deeply to me.

I want the people I work with to have someone they trust. Someone who knows them, knows their family, meets with them regularly, and makes sure the plan continues to make sense as their life changes.

Because God forbid one of the worst days of their lives ever comes, I don't want their family sitting across from a stranger trying to figure out what Mom or Dad had planned.

The best time to build that relationship and have these conversations isn't when something has gone wrong.

It's on a boring Tuesday when everyone is healthy, life is good, and there are still plenty of plans left to make.

Thank you, LIAM, for starting a lot of good conversations this month.

Reason 4 Why life insurance is relevant to business owners.

Because it’s not just your family depending on the business. Your employees have mortgages, kids, bills, and plans too.

If losing one person could put the entire operation in jeopardy, the ripple effect can go a lot further than we think.

Protecting the business can help protect the people who depend on it.

Happy LIAM

We cannot control every event, but we can take steps to protect the people who rely on us. Mindi Johnson’s story is a powerful reminder that life insurance can help a family face the unexpected with greater financial stability.
