We don’t talk enough about how often growth starts with getting it wrong.
As part of our Mental Health Awareness Month series, Kristin reflects on the power of staying the course when things don’t initially work out.

“Advice I'd give my younger self is that it's okay to not get it right the first time. I found that some of my greatest accomplishments in life, both personally and professionally, come from situations that didn't work out the first time, but I trusted myself and I stayed the course.”
– Kristin Grillo, Manager of Talent Development & Engagement (St. Louis)

More advice from our team members and advisors coming all month long. If you’re interested in learning more about who we are and how we work together, you can find us here: www.rfc.com/about-us

...That’s a wrap!

We concluded our RENew (Renaissance Empowered Women) 2026 retreat earlier this week, bringing together female advisors from across the country to collaborate and learn from inspiring guest speakers, Jenny Groberg and Christina King. This event is especially meaningful to us, as it creates space for women in the industry to connect, support one another, and build lasting relationships.

A heartfelt thank you to M Culinary for Sunday night’s dinner and decor, Sanctuary Camelback Mountain for hosting us, and to Flowers by Jodi for the beautiful florals.

Mental Health Awareness Month is here. Let’s talk about letting go of perfection.

“The advice I'd give to my younger self would be to not let perfection be the end-all be-all. It can be athletics, your job, school, or relationships, anything. Relax, stop and smell the roses. Enjoy the journey. A quote that often comes to mind is, ‘shoot for the moon, and if you don't end there, land amongst the stars.’”

-Mason Cook, Financial Advisor (Salt Lake City)
