Let's get creative with charitable stock gifting and other strategies! #StockOptions #RSUPlanning #WealthManagement #RichmondBusiness See thrivent.com/social for important disclosures.

"You have purpose no matter what season you're in." Whether you're building a career, raising a family, preparing for retirement, caring for loved ones, or navigating a major transition, your season may change—but your purpose doesn't disappear. Recently, I worked with a family who discovered more than $250,000 sitting in old retirement accounts that hadn't been reviewed in years. The most valuable part wasn't the money—it was the confidence that came from putting that money to work, and finally having a plan and a purpose." If you're entering a new chapter and would value a planning partner, I'd be honored to help. See thrivent.com/social for important disclosures.

"When you have an advisor, and when you've been exposed to biblical generosity, your confidence changes." The Women's Advisor Conference in July reinforced something I've believed for a long time: Money is about more than accumulation. It's also about stewardship, generosity, impact, family, and legacy. When people understand how their resources can support what matters most, they often gain a greater sense of confidence and purpose. See thrivent.com/social for important disclosures.

A common challenge among successful professionals: too much wealth tied to one company. A lot of RSUs, Stock Options, and Employee Stock Purchase Plan funds all in one company can be noteworthy exposure. The risk is that a substantial portion of your retirement income, net worth, and future estate value are tied to a single company. Diversification isn't exciting. But it can be incredibly valuable. 📊⚖️💭 How much of your financial future depends on one company's performance? #RSUPlanning #StockOptions #RiskManagement #WealthStrategy See thrivent.com/social for important disclosures.

"Only you can live your purpose." You were knit together in your mother’s womb, and your purpose was created there as well. One of the things I enjoy most about financial planning is helping people create a strategy that reflects their unique goals—not someone else's expectations. And then, there’s also the immense joy I get from working with these other Thrivent gems! Shoutout to Molly Bruce and Sofia Hernandez! See thrivent.com/social for important disclosures.
