❤️ Grandparents Help Build More Than Memories ❤️ From sharing family traditions to helping shape future generations, grandparents leave a lasting impact on the lives of those they love. Grandparents are often thinking not only about today, but also about the future of their children and grandchildren. Their generosity, guidance, and planning help create lasting legacies for years to come. This Grandparents Day, we celebrate the wonderful grandparents in our community and the difference they make every day. Happy Grandparents Day! 👵👴 #GrandparentsDay #FamilyLegacy #GenerationalPlanning #ProtectWhatMatters #FSG

A little sneak peek of something we’ve been working on… 👀🏢 Next month, FSG will officially have a new home! Yesterday our team got to walk through the space together and see all of the progress being made. Right now there are ladders, exposed ceilings, unfinished walls and plenty of construction dust but it’s getting easier and easier to picture the welcoming space this will soon become. We’ve put a lot of thought into creating an office that feels comfortable, collaborative, and inviting for the clients and families we have the privilege of serving, and we are SO excited to watch it all come together. There’s still a little work to do between these photos and the finished product… 😉 but we can’t wait to welcome you in. And stay tuned — we’ll be sharing our Grand Opening details next week! 🎉 #ThriventFSG #NewOffice #ComingSoon #PittsburghBusiness

Last month, I had the chance to spend a few days near Thrivent’s home office in Minneapolis for the Thrivent Women’s Conference and I left feeling energized, challenged, and very grateful for the women I get to work alongside in this career. 💙 One of my favorite moments was hearing from Olympic medalist Jessie Diggins. She talked about what she calls the “pain cave” and shared a perspective that has stuck with me: “It isn’t where you go to suffer, but to grow.” Whew. I think most of us can probably name a few “pain caves” in our own lives. 😉 The seasons that stretch us, challenge our confidence, or force us to do something we aren’t quite sure we can do yet can also be the exact places where so much growth happens. Beyond the speakers and sessions, one of the best parts was simply being surrounded by so many incredible women. Catching up with longtime friends, making new ones, sharing ideas, laughing a lot, and learning from one another. Since it is Women’s Equality Day today, it feels like the perfect time to look back on this experience. I’m grateful for the women who paved the way for us, the women who continue to encourage and challenge one another today, and the opportunity we have to keep opening doors for the women who come after us. Here’s to supporting one another, growing through the hard things, and continuing to make room at the table. 💜

Legacy planning doesn't have to be stressful. With the right tools and timely strategies, you can stay true to your vision and help your loved ones feel prepared. Here are a few key things to keep in mind: • The amount you can pass on without federal estate or gift tax is $15 million per person—or $30 million for married couples in 2026. These higher limits give families more flexibility and room to plan for the future. • Preparing your wealth transfer priorities today can make a meaningful difference. Name beneficiaries, establish a will and consider trusts. • Gifting can also play a role. Many people give annually to take advantage of the gift tax exclusion—up to $19,000 per person in 2026 without triggering gift tax. A thoughtful approach can help more of what you’ve built reach the people and causes you care about. ➡️ https://bit.ly/4hpRIzN
