About Shawna Hedrington

I'm proud to be a Thrivent financial professional. I provide personalized financial guidance to people at all stages of life. At Thrivent, we view money not as a goal, but as a tool — one that can afford you a life rich in meaning and gratitude. We believe humanity thrives when individuals make the most of all they've been given. I'm here to help you do just that.

My Focus

I've always been a saver, the type of person who thinks ahead and plans for the 'what ifs.' Over time, I realized my real passion wasn't just keeping my own finances on track - it was helping others feel that same sense of security and confidence. I joined Thrivent because their mission matched my own: to put people first, provide personalized guidance, and build meaningful, long-term relationships.

Being part of a military family, I've experienced the ups and downs that come with relocations, deployments, and constant adjustments. Those experiences have shaped the way I guide my clients - with empathy, flexibility, and a focus on building stability through life's changes. My goal is simple: to make finances feel less overwhelming and more empowering, so you can focus on what matters most.

About Shawna Hedrington

Outside of my work as a financial advisor, I'm a wife, mom, and proud part of a military family. My husband is serving in the Marine Corps, and we've shared this journey together since 2009. Military life has taken us many places - from West Coast to East Coast - but we're both originally from Wisconsin. Those Midwestern roots keep us grounded, even as we've built a wonderful life here in North Carolina.

Our son is the heart of our family and keeps us on our toes with his energy, curiosity, and sense of humor. Whether we are outdoors exploring or snuggled up on the couch watching Jurassic Park movies, he makes life fun and full of adventure. Our dog and cat add even more personality to the mix, making our home lively and joyful. I love spending time outdoors - camping and fishing, working on DIY home projects, and experimenting in the kitchen. For me, it's the simple joys that bring the most meaning to life.
