Today I am finding out people have already bought their PLANE TICKETS FOR THE COMMIT YOUR CODE CONFERENCE 2025?!?!? WHAAAAAT? We haven't even put the tickets for the conference on sale yet 😭 I guess this year is definitely going to be bigger.

I love the work I do. I'm super thankful for the winding path, from my teller days, personal banking, even working for a sleazy annuity sales guy, and falling into serving tech professionals, before finally launching my own vision for how financial planning should be.

The golden handcuffs are finally off! Never been so happy to receive an email from a client to update me they’ve been laid off. This is a client that’s ready and prepared for retirement and wasn’t enjoying their role so it’s something we’ve been crossing our fingers for.

Excited for crazy tax season. It’s not the most fun thing ever, but I just enjoy the grind of knocking them out and counting them down until they’re 100% completed. If you feel you’re not saving enough on your taxes consider HSA, Dependent FSAs, and retirement contributions.

If you’re the kind of person who easily forgets what you’ve accomplished, you need a practice for reminding yourself. Count the years, the finished projects, the progress, the praise, count it all up and use it as evidence against the ever present criticism in your head that you’re not doing enough.

Changing the circumstances of your life is incredibly difficult. Whether that is a financial or health based goal. The approach you take has to be fueled by something that can last long even when doubts or negative comments are sent your way.

It's so cool to be a part of my clients' team of people. Being one of the first to be contacted when some life changing events are happening is a huge honor and makes what I do so much more than work.
