Spent the weekend in Ventura celebrating my cousin’s wedding — and got to spend some quality time with my grandma and mom while I was there.
Lately, I’ve been reflecting on the power of legacy and how the stories we carry shape not just our memories, but the way we live, lead, and plan for the future. Before the night of the wedding, my grandma and I stayed up talking about her childhood — what life was like growing up, and the moments that shaped her. She’s the definition of strength and independence, and hearing her stories gave me a whole new appreciation for who she is and the legacy she’s built.
In my work, I often sit across from clients who are thinking about retirement, their loved ones, and the life they want to create. The numbers matter — but it’s the stories that bring everything into focus. Stories of resilience, generosity, hard work, and love passed down through generations.
Take time to ask the questions. Pass on the stories. That’s how legacy is built — one conversation at a time.
