Ladies, it's BLACK FRIDAY! 🛍️✨
Can we talk about how good it feels to find THE perfect gift at THE perfect price? That's not just shopping—that's *strategic self-care* and gift-giving combined. Because yes, retail therapy IS therapy, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that! 💅
We've got this! Women actually shop smarter during Black Friday than you might think. While we're out here being thoughtful and intentional, studies show women plan to spend around $342 on average—significantly less than men's average of $626! We're not just shopping; we're shopping *smart*. (According to this study found here: https://www.finder.com/credit-cards/black-friday-statistics).
But here's how we can show up for the people we love AND keep our financial goals intact:
💰 **Set your gift budget FIRST** - Decide what you can spend before those "70% OFF" signs start calling your name. Write it down. Screenshot it. Tattoo it on your hand if you need to (kidding... mostly).
🎯 **Make a list, check it twice** - You know who you're shopping for. Write down exactly what each person would love. This keeps you from those "oh this is cute, maybe someone wants it?" moments.
📱 **Track while you shop** - Use your notes app or banking app to keep a running total. It's harder to overspend when you're seeing the numbers add up in real-time.
💳 **One payment method** - Choose ONE card or payment method for all Black Friday purchases. This makes it SO much easier to track everything later.
✨ **Remember: thoughtful > expensive** - The best gifts come from knowing what makes someone smile. That $15 thing they mentioned three months ago? Way better than a random $75 splurge.
🎁 **Budget for YOU too** - Yes, really! Put a small amount aside for yourself. You deserve it, and planning for it keeps you from guilt-spending later.
Here's your permission slip: You can be generous AND financially responsible. You can treat yourself AND stick to your goals. You can enjoy the thrill of a good deal AND feel proud of your budget at the end of the day.
So go forth, my sister friends! Get those deals, check off that list, and walk away knowing you've mastered both the art of gift-giving and the science of budgeting. That's the real Black Friday win. 🏆💕

Your 20s Are Your Financial Glow-Up Era ✨
If you are a gal between the ages of 20-29, can we talk about something real for a second?
Your 20s aren’t just about building your career or figuring out life—they’re about writing YOUR financial story. And here’s the thing: you don’t need to have it all figured out to start.
Starting your financial journey now is one of the most powerful things you can do for yourself.
Think of it like this: every small step you take today—whether it’s opening that savings account, learning about investing, or finally making a budget that actually works for your life—is you showing up for your future self. And she’s going to thank you for it.
You don’t need a finance degree. You don’t need a six-figure salary. You just need to start.
Here’s your friendly reminder that:
• Asking questions about money is smart, not embarrassing
• Starting small still counts as starting
• Your financial goals are valid, whether they’re buying a home, traveling the world, or building an emergency fund
• You deserve to feel confident and empowered about your finances
Your financial story is YOURS to write. Not your parents’, not your partner’s, not what social media says you “should” be doing. Yours.
Ready to take ownership of your financial future? Let’s chat about what that looks like for YOU.
Because every amazing financial journey starts with that first brave step.
💪 You’ve got this, and you don’t have to do it alone.

Where Money Means More isn’t just our tagline—it’s our mission. ✨
After rebuilding my own financial future following divorce, I learned firsthand that financial clarity isn’t just about numbers on a page. It’s about empowerment. It’s about creating opportunities to support the people, causes, and communities that matter most to you.
That’s exactly why I love working at Thrivent.
As a Christian financial services firm, we believe generosity isn’t separate from a solid financial plan—it’s an essential part of it. We help people become good stewards of what they’ve been given, so they can live purposefully and give generously.
Yes, money doesn’t buy happiness. But being intentional with your finances? That creates space to help others, provide for your family, and make a real impact in the world around you.
When you partner with Thrivent, you’re not just getting financial guidance—you’re joining a community committed to making money mean more. Together, we educate, empower, and spur each other on toward good works.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about building wealth. It’s about building a life that matters.

✨ Let’s Talk Year-End Money Magic ✨
Hey friends! Can you believe we’re already in the final stretch of 2025? This is a great time to think through your finances! 💁🏼♀️
Here’s why: Year-end planning isn’t just about taxes—it’s about aligning your money with what matters most to YOU.
A few things I’m thinking about:
💖 Charitable giving - If there’s a cause close to your heart, giving before December 31st can reduce your tax bill while making a real impact. Win-win!
📊 Tax-advantaged moves - Max out that retirement contribution, harvest some tax losses, or use your FSA funds before they disappear
🎯 Setting intentions - What do you want your money to do for you next year? Now’s the perfect time to dream and plan
Here’s what I want you to remember: Your generosity and your financial goals don’t have to compete. They can actually work together beautifully.
You don’t have to be wealthy to give, and you don’t have to sacrifice your security to be generous. Start where you are. Give what feels right. Plan for what matters.
Your move: Take 30 minutes this week to look at your year-end financial picture. Future you will be so grateful. 💪
Need a little guidance? I would love to sit with you and hear your ideas and goals.
What’s one financial goal you’re wrapping up or one cause you’re supporting this year? I’d love to hear! 👇

Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy—it’s for everyone.

Your Money, Your Values, Your Life ✨
Can we talk about budgeting for a second? Not the kind that makes you feel guilty for buying coffee or investing in things that bring you joy. I’m talking about the kind that actually works WITH your life, not against it.
Here’s what I’ve learned: Common sense budgeting isn’t about restriction—it’s about intention.
It’s deciding that yes, you’re going to invest in your retirement AND take that trip with your best friend. You’re going to build your emergency fund AND invest in that course that could level up your career. You’re going to save for a house AND buy yourself flowers on a random Tuesday.
The secret? Getting clear on what actually matters to YOU. Not what personal finance bros on the internet say you should prioritize. Not what your parents think is responsible. What lights YOU up and moves you toward the future you’re building.
Here’s my approach:
Start by naming your values. Is it freedom? Security? Adventure? Growth? Connection? Whatever they are, your budget should reflect them. If family is everything to you but you never budget for visits home, something’s off. If learning feeds your soul but you cut “fun money” first, that’s not sustainable.
Then set goals that excite you—both the practical ones (hello, fully funded emergency fund) and the dream ones (that certification, that remodel, that sabbatical). Your money gets to work toward ALL of it.
The magic happens when you realize you don’t have to choose between being financially responsible and actually living your life. You can do both. You just have to be honest about your priorities and creative about your plan.
Bottom line: Build a budget that respects your future self while honoring who you are right now. That’s not just smart money management—that’s living with intention.
What’s one financial goal you’re working toward that truly reflects your values? 💭
