During Thrivent's National Women's Advisor Conference last week, I had the opportunity to listen to (and meet!) Olympic Cross-Country Skiing Gold Medalist Jessie Diggins. She reminded us all that mindset, grit, and momentum are a huge part of what it takes to reach your goals; at the same time, taking care of yourself is crucial to reaching those goals too!
The culture of encouragement and mutual support at the conference is exactly the type of thing that helps keep those goals in reach.
Did you know that when you choose to work with Avonlea Financial Group, you have access to over half a century of cumulative experience between our advisors? Not only that, but you are also working with one of the most experienced female advisors at Thrivent! At Thrivent's 2026 National Women's Advisor Conference last week, I was honored to be the most tenured advisor in attendance. Thank you to each and every one of you for making that possible!
This week, Dawn and I are attending Thrivent's 2026 National Women's Advisor Conference! This is a great opportunity to enhance our ability to serve our clients in navigating their goals. If you're curious about what we learned this week, give us a call or an email! We would love to share and incorporate new knowledge with your goals.
