Something exciting is on the horizon.
We're preparing our first-ever Thrivent Community event, bringing people together to support a great local cause. More details coming soon!
We were honored to sponsor the Brave Like Gabe 5K in Saint Paul, celebrating Gabe's birthday while supporting the fight against cancer through research and awareness.
One of the most meaningful parts of the day was seeing so many runners stop by our table to write heartfelt birthday cards and encouraging notes to children currently undergoing cancer treatment. Their kindness was truly inspiring.
It was a privilege to be part of such a powerful event, but the highlight for me was a conversation with Gabe's mom. Her strength, perspective, and unwavering commitment to helping others left me speechless. Some stories remind us what courage really looks like—this was one of them.
Grateful to have been a small part of such an incredible day. ❤️

Are your retirement savings on track?Schedule a check-in before April 1 to explore options to strengthen your savings and make the most of your retirement years.
Goals often seem straightforward—set them and work toward them. Then life happens. As circumstances change, we’re forced to adjust, pivot, and refocus. I’m grateful for the people who help keep me grounded and moving forward, even on the days when motivation is hard to find.
I strive to bring that same mindset into my work each day—supporting others as they pursue what matters most to them. It’s a privilege to walk alongside them and help turn goals into reality.
There were quite a few of us at the Business Development Conference. The focus was clearly on how to best serve our clients and communities. I'm in there somewhere, diligently taking notes.
