This weekend, I had the privilege of joining the Lace Up to End Diabetes event — an incredible initiative by Diabetes Canada, with Sun Life as the title sponsor.
It was extra meaningful because of friends like @Susanricesimpson, an amazing woman and a true example of what it means to make a difference in the world.
She and her family continue to navigate life with Type 1 Diabetes like absolute champions, with courage, grace, and heart. 💛
Standing among so many people walking, running, and showing up reminded me: community is strength.
When we come together for a cause, we’re not just raising funds, we’re raising energy, hope, and collective love.
What we do with our money, time, and energy matters.
It’s not just about saving or being tax efficient, it’s about using your abundance to create impact and healing.
✨ Add charities and causes that matter to you into your life strategy.
Because true abundance isn’t about accumulation — it’s about contribution.

💡 Did you know families with disabilities could access up to $90,000 in government grants and bonds?
It’s through the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP)—and yet, so many families don’t even know it exists.
Here’s how it works:
✔️ If you or your child qualify for the Disability Tax Credit, you can open an RDSP.
✔️ When you contribute, the government matches with grants.
✔️ In some cases, money is added even if you can’t contribute much.
✨ This isn’t just a savings plan—it’s a long-term financial lifeline.
Too many families miss out simply because they don’t know about it.
💬 Save this post for future reference, share it with someone who needs to know, and reach out if you’d like me to walk you through how an RDSP could work for your family.

🍂 This Thanksgiving, let’s practice financial gratitude.
It’s easy to focus on what we haven’t done yet—save more, invest more, grow more. But when we stop and reflect, there’s so much to be thankful for:
✨ Maybe you paid down debt.
✨ Maybe your business supported your family another year.
✨ Maybe you simply had enough to keep moving forward.
Gratitude doesn’t replace strategy—but it changes the way we see our progress. It reminds us that we’re building from strength, not lack.
💬 What financial win—big or small—are you grateful for this year?

✨ Brilliant. Accomplished. Respected at work… but secretly overwhelmed by her finances.
One of my clients is a high-earning professional woman. On the outside, she looked like she had it all together. But she told me:
“I don’t feel secure. I don’t even know if I could handle an emergency.”
She was saving when she remembered, investing without a clear plan, and constantly worried she was “missing something.”
Together, we:
✔️ Organized her accounts.
✔️ Built a real strategy.
✔️ Put protections in place so she could breathe easier.
Today, she doesn’t just look successful—she feels it.
Because financial empowerment isn’t about appearances—it’s about confidence on the inside.

A couple with a household income of $200k versus a family of 4 with a household income of $90k shouldn’t follow the same financial advice.
A financial roadmap should be as unique as you are. Reach out for advice that looks at the full picture.

Half a million in revenue. Zero joy.
One of my clients was there. On paper, her business was thriving. $500K a year. But behind the scenes? She wasn’t paying herself properly. She felt guilty about taking time off. Vacations felt “anti-business.”
She told me: “It looks like I’m successful, but I can’t even enjoy what I’ve built.”
Together, we shifted her mindset and built a strategy that made her money work for her. Today—she pays herself confidently, her business is stable, and she can actually take a vacation without worry or guilt.
✨ Here’s the truth:
Frugality is not the name of the game.
Financial strategy is.
Your legacy shouldn’t just be the balance in your bank account. It should also reflect your joy, your health, your wellbeing. Because you are a multi-faceted being—and your business and legacy should reflect that balance.
👉 If you’ve been running your business like it’s only about the grind, this is your reminder: you’re allowed to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Struggling to hire top talent? Or worried your best people might leave?
One of my clients felt the same way. She told me: “I’d love to offer group benefits to my team… but I don’t think I can afford it.”
Like so many business owners, she was stuck between wanting to take care of her people and worrying about the cost. The thought of adding another expense on top of payroll, rent, and growth investments felt impossible.
But here’s the truth: benefits aren’t just a cost—they’re an investment.
Together, we built a benefits plan that fit her business today and scaled as she grew. Fast forward—her company is thriving. Her employees feel valued and supported. And she’s discovered something powerful:
✨ It’s easier to attract top talent.
✨ It’s easier to keep her best producers.
✨ It’s easier to build the culture she always envisioned.
👉 If you’re a business owner wondering if you can “afford” benefits, the better question might be: Can you afford not to?
💬 Let’s chat about how to make benefits work for you—not against you.

💡 I know — every “finance 101” book says, pay off your debt first.
But here’s the truth: sometimes that advice can cost you wealth in the long run.
📌 Here are 3 situations where breaking that rule makes sense:
1️⃣ When your debt interest rate is lower than your investment return potential (Think: mortgage at 2.5%, investments averaging 6-8%)."The mortgage rate and investment return percentages are for sample purposes only".
2️⃣ When you have no emergency fund — without one, one bad month can force you back into higher debt.
3️⃣ When your employer offers a high-match retirement plan or group benefits — that’s free money you’re missing out on.
We’re entering Q4. The economy’s shifting fast. Tariff hikes, interest rate pivots, and inflation mean your money has to be strategic, not just “by the book.”
📞 Let’s talk about how to make the smartest move with your cash flow — now, not someday.
