Honoring International Women’s Day (A Day Later, With the Same Gratitude)

International Women’s Day was yesterday, but the impact women make deserves recognition every day. Today, we’re proud to honor Dawn Benko, our female lead advisor and a driving force behind the work we do at EWS.

Dawn brings a blend of clarity, compassion, and strategic insight that strengthens our team and elevates the way we serve our clients. Her leadership is steady, thoughtful, and deeply rooted in doing what’s right—qualities that shape our culture and our results.

While the calendar marks the celebration for one day, Dawn’s influence is felt year‑round. She embodies the spirit of International Women’s Day through her example, her expertise, and the way she empowers those around her.

We’re grateful for her leadership and proud to recognize her today.

Where Work Ethic Runs Deep: A Family Milestone Worth Celebrating

Some achievements happen in the spotlight, and others happen quietly behind the scenes—but both are built on the same foundation: hard work and commitment. At EWS, that spirit shows up every day through people like Stacey.

Stacey is one of the steady forces behind our operation. She manages the paperwork, accounts, and countless details that allow us to serve our clients with confidence. Her consistency, care, and dedication make a real difference in the experience we deliver.

And recently, her family had a moment in the spotlight that reflects that same drive. Her nephew Jack reached an incredible milestone—1,000 points in his high school basketball career. That kind of achievement takes discipline, focus, and years of effort.

It’s inspiring to see how deeply that work ethic runs in Stacey’s family, and how clearly it shows up in the way she supports our clients and our team.
Congratulations to Jack on a remarkable accomplishment—and thank you, Stacey, for bringing that same spirit of excellence to EWS.

The Most Powerful Step Toward a Confident Retirement

As Director of Financial Planning at Entirety Wealth Solutions, here's the insight I wish everyone would internalize early:
Understanding your spending is the real foundation of a successful retirement.

Most people focus on the big numbers — returns, balances, market forecasts. Those matter. But retirement comes down to three levers: spend less, earn better returns, or work longer. Of these, spending is the one you control most directly — and understanding it can surprise you in both directions.

Yes, clarity about spending helps you identify what's enough. But just as often, it reveals that you can afford to spend more — on experiences, on family, on the life you've been putting off. Good planning doesn't just protect you from running out of money. It gives you permission to enjoy it.

When you truly understand your spending, you gain:
• A clearer vision of the lifestyle you want to protect — and expand
• Confidence that your plan reflects your real life, not guesswork
• Freedom to say yes to experiences now, knowing your future is covered

Retirement isn't a finish line. It's a chapter you get to design — and so is today. The goal isn't to restrict yourself. It's to know yourself well enough to live fully at every stage.

— Kerry Edwards Director of Financial Planning, Entirety Wealth Solutions

A Real-Life Reminder of Why Financial Planning Matters

Kerry Edwards shared a story this week that perfectly captures the heart of what we do.

Recently, retired clients confided they were worried about being too aggressive with spending — that maybe they needed to pull back, be more cautious, slow down.

Kerry did what any great planner does: he dug in. He came across research showing that many retirees live their most frugal years when they're healthiest — and their most flush years when they can barely enjoy it. Clients often underspend during active early retirement years when travel and bucket-list experiences are most accessible, only to have excess funds later when health or energy may limit how they can use them.

Because these clients had done the work — thoughtful planning, intentional saving, and building a solid financial foundation — the answer was clear:

Take the trips. Make the memories! Live fully!

We can stress test your financial plan to give you that same confidence. This is why we do what we do — so you can enjoy every moment without second-guessing.

Strengthening Our Client Experience at Entirety Wealth Solutions

Our operations team has been coming together with intention and purpose as we streamline and elevate our client processes. This work is all about creating a more engaging, consistent, and meaningful experience for the families we serve — and the impact is already showing.

We opened our recent team meeting by writing notes of gratitude, a practice we’re embracing across EWS this year. Leading with gratitude keeps us grounded, connected, and aligned with the way we want to show up for our clients and for one another.

A major part of our progress has been the guidance of **Dawn Benko, wealth coach and co‑founder of 360Consulting**. Dawn specializes in helping practices and teams build stronger systems, improve communication, and operate with clarity and intention. Her daily resources and coaching have been instrumental in helping us refine our processes and strengthen our client experience.

For other practices looking to enhance their operations or deepen their client engagement, Dawn’s work is well worth exploring:

Grateful for a team committed to growth — and for partners who help us deliver the level of service our clients deserve.

Teamwork, Gutter Balls, and the word DAVENPORT??

Our Entirety Wealth Solutions team just wrapped up our annual retreat, and it had everything you’d expect from a group of financial professionals and staff trying to relax: competitive bowling, questionable golf swings, and a surprising amount of enthusiasm for oddly specific vocabulary.

We kicked things off with a great dinner with our spouses — always a highlight. The people that support you in life matter!!

The next morning, over coffee, we warmed up with a simple word exercise: What’s your favorite word to say?

Naturally, our list included:
Elite
Libations
Spectacular
Excellente!
And yes… Davenport from Dawn Benko!!

Try this at your next group event — the answers will surprise you, especially when someone confidently throws “davenport” into the mix like it’s the most normal thing in the world.

After that linguistic masterpiece, we moved on to a golf simulator, lunch, and then the main event: the staff vs. partners bowling showdown.

For the official record:
The staff won!! Comfortably!!

And Kerry Edwards— proudly on the staff team — rolled one of his highest games ever. The partners are still processing the emotional damage.

Between the strikes, the gutter balls, and the celebratory dances that probably shouldn’t be repeated in public, we were reminded how valuable it is to spend time together outside the day‑to‑day. When people laugh together and cheer each other on, everything else gets stronger too.

Here’s to more shared moments, more friendly rivalries, and maybe — just maybe — a rematch once the partners recover. 😆

Kicking Off 2026 with BIG Gratitude Energy!

At Entirety Wealth Solutions, we’re charging into 2026 with a powerful intention: lead with gratitude in everything we do. Our first newsletter of the year set the tone, spotlighting gratitude as the mindset we want to carry into every client conversation, every team interaction, and every moment of growth.

And we’re not stopping at words. We’re turning gratitude into action. When you stop by our Shakopee office at 238 Lewis St, Shakopee, MN, you’ll find gratitude notes ready and waiting for you. Take a moment, jot down a thank‑you, and brighten someone’s day. Small gestures create big ripples.

We’re thrilled that Dawn Benko is kicking off this initiative by sending out her first gratitude notes of the year. Her enthusiasm is contagious—and exactly the spark we hoped for as we launch this practice.

Here’s to a year filled with appreciation, connection, and celebrating the people who make our lives meaningful!

Let’s make gratitude a movement!
