If I could tell you one thing over coffee (a diet coke for me!), it would be this… put God first. When I remember to do that, it’s amazing how much lighter life feels. I stop worrying so much about what other people think, and I can just focus on what’s right in front of me. For me, that’s my family, my work, my faith… and doing my best to take care of what God’s trusted me with. We don’t have to have it all figured out. We just get to be faithful with today and trust Him with tomorrow. 💛 #FaithFirst #StewardWell #PurposeOverApproval See thrivent.com/social for important disclosures

Every table tells a story. The china might sparkle, the napkins might fold just so, but the real beauty is in what happens once people sit down. Conversations flow. Laughter echoes off the walls. Hearts feel at home. I love creating spaces like this — not just for the eye, but for the soul. It’s the same approach I bring to financial planning: arranging the details with care, so there’s room for what truly matters: connection, joy, and peace. Because whether it’s a table or a plan, the goal is the same: to gather the people you love and make sure there’s space for life’s most beautiful moments. 💛 #GatherWithPurpose #HospitalityHeart #PlanForTheGoodStuff See thrivent.com/social for important disclosures

For many years, having a family of my own wasn’t part of my story. Instead, God gave me the gift of being “Auntie” to my amazing nephews — and I went all in. Ball games, birthday parties, sleepovers, late-night chicken pot pies … I soaked up every moment. Looking back, I see His hand in it all. Sometimes life doesn’t unfold the way we planned, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t beautiful. God created space and margin in my life for those years, and I’m forever grateful. Financial planning is a lot like that. Life rarely goes exactly according to our plans, but with the right preparation, there’s room to embrace the unexpected blessings along the way. 💛 #GratefulHeart #FaithInTheJourney #FamilyIsForever #PlanWithPurpose see thrivent.com/social for important disclosures.
