“Insurance Reset: Start the Year Protected”

New year, new goals — but here’s one you might’ve missed: reviewing your protection plan.

Your insurance coverage — life, critical illness, disability, and group benefits — should grow with you.

Here’s a quick checklist:

✅ Update coverage to match your current income and responsibilities.

✅ Review beneficiaries — especially after marriage, divorce, or new family members.

✅ Don’t rely solely on employer benefits; they often don’t follow you when you move.

✅ Consider adding critical illness coverage — it provides a lump-sum payment if you face a major diagnosis, giving you time to heal without financial strain.

Protecting your wealth and wellbeing isn’t about fear — it’s about freedom.
Health is a currency of wealth, and peace of mind is part of prosperity.

I’m Carolina Henao, Founder of LUCEM Financial, lets review together :-)

January 24 is International Day of Education — a perfect reminder that knowledge is one of the greatest gifts we can give our children.

And in Canada, the government literally helps you do that!

The Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) gives families:
✨ A 20% annual government match, up to $500 a year

✨ Up to $7,200 in total grants per child

✨ Tax-deferred growth of funds within the account

Yet less than half of eligible families fully maximize their contributions!

Opening an RESP isn’t just about tuition — it’s about creating opportunity.

It’s how love becomes legacy, and how your financial planning turns into education, independence, and confidence for the next generation.

I’m Carolina Henao, Founder of LUCEM Financial Let's have a REAL conversation about legacy and education.

Blue Monday and Bell Let’s Talk remind us how deeply our wellbeing and finances are connected.

Almost half of Canadians say money is their top source of stress — even above work and health.

And yet, most people try to carry that stress alone.

But here’s the truth: financial clarity is emotional clarity.
When you know what’s really happening with your money, your mind — and your body — start to relax.

Try this:
✨ Write down your accounts, bills, and goals — face facts, not fears.

✨ Automate payments to remove daily pressure.

✨ Talk to someone you trust to build a structure that brings calm, not chaos.

Because financial peace isn’t about being rich — it’s about feeling safe, grounded, and supported.

You don’t have to do it alone. 💛

I’m Carolina Henao, Founder of LUCEM Financial — and I help you let your light lead your wealth, so your wealth can lead your impact. ✨

New year, new contribution room — but where should you put your money first? 💰

Both RRSPs and TFSAs are brilliant tools, but they serve different purposes:

✅ RRSP – Tax-deductible today, taxable later. Great for high-income earners who want to lower their taxable income for the year.

✅ TFSA – No deduction upfront, but completely tax-free growth and withdrawals. Great for flexible savings and long-term freedom.

Quick math: if you earn $85,000 in Ontario, every $1,000 RRSP contribution can save you around $310 in taxes.
Use RRSPs for tax relief today.
Use TFSAs for freedom tomorrow.
Use both for balance and abundance.

Did the holidays hit harder than expected? 🎁✨

You’re not alone — between inflation, gifts, dinners, travel, and celebrations, December spending can sneak up fast.

But avoiding your numbers won’t help. That’s not self-care, that’s self-sabotage.

Facing them with clarity and compassion is self-care.

Here’s how to get back on track:

✅ Add up what you spent — it’s data, not drama.

✅ Compare it to your normal budget to see where you went over.

✅ Rebalance in January — trim extras or redirect spending.

✅ Sit with a professional you trust (like me!) to explore ways to close the gap before tax season.

There may be simple RRSP or deduction strategies to help offset your overspending. The key is facing it early, not fearfully.

Financial self-care isn’t about being perfect — it’s about being proactive. 💛

I’m Carolina Henao, Founder of LUCEM Financial, and I help you let your light lead your wealth, so your wealth can lead your impact. ✨

Let's see how to get you back on your path to wealth.

STOP! Before you write another resolution, pause and ask yourself:

💫 What kind of life am I actually trying to fund?

Most people start January with goals like “earn more, save more.” But without clarity, those goals lose meaning, and motivation fades.

Here’s how to begin your financial year with intention:

✨ Define how you want to feel: freedom, peace, joy, or security.

✨ Align your money decisions with those feelings.

✨ Create visual reminders of your why, not just your numbers.

Because wealth isn’t built from willpower — it’s built from awareness.

When your money moves with purpose, everything else flows with ease.

I’m Carolina Henao, Founder of LUCEM Financial, and I help you let your light lead your wealth, so your wealth can lead your impact this new year!

When people ask what LUCEM means, I smile.

In Latin, it means light. But for me — it’s much more personal.

It’s made up of the names of the three people who are my light:
💫 Luciana, Celeste, and Mauricio.

They’re the reason I do what I do. When I started in the financial industry nearly 20 years ago, I quickly realized how cold it could feel, so focused on numbers, targets, and transactions. And that never felt right to me.

I’m a heart-guided person. I care deeply about people, their dreams, their families, their stories, not just their portfolios.

That’s why I created LUCEM Financial: to build a space where wealth planning could feel human, holistic, and heart-centered.

Where clients aren’t treated like accounts, but like people who deserve peace, clarity, and light in their financial journey.

Because when your work aligns with your heart, abundance follows.

And when your wealth aligns with your values, legacy begins. ✨

Planning for the future isn’t about fear — it’s about love. 💛
I’ve seen families with wealth, businesses, and beautiful intentions… but without a will or Powers of Attorney, everything becomes complicated when life changes suddenly.

A will is not about money — it’s about care.
It’s how you say “I love you” to your family in a language they’ll understand when you’re no longer there to speak it.

Here’s what most people don’t realize:
✔️ Without a Will, courts decide who gets what.
✔️ Without a Power of Attorney, no one can legally handle your finances if you’re ill.
✔️ Without clarity, even strong families can face stress and conflict.

✨ A Will is love. Insurance is love. Planning is love.

Because real abundance isn’t just what you have — it’s what you protect.

I’m Carolina Henao, Founder of LUCEM Financial.

Let’s have a conversation and see where you can continue to support your loved ones in the future.

Before you write new goals, take a quiet moment to thank the money that supported you this year. ✨

It helped you feed your family.
Build your business.
Give back.
Heal.
Grow.

Gratitude shifts everything.
When you see your money as something that’s already serving you, you stop leading from scarcity — and start leading from peace.

Here’s a little reflection I share with my clients:
🕯️ Write down three ways your money supported you this year.
💫 Then write one intention for how you want it to support you differently next year.
Because money that’s appreciated… appreciates.
It grows in energy, opportunity, and ease.

Save this, share it and keep following along for more Wealth Talk from the heart!

Before December 31st, there are a few simple but powerful things you can do to end the year strong.

Here’s your “Use It or Lose It” checklist:

✅ Max out your RRSP to lower this year’s taxable income by February 28th

✅ Use any health or dental benefits before they expire

✅ Review insurance coverage and beneficiaries.

✅ Make charitable donations to get your 2025 tax credit.

These aren’t just tasks — they’re opportunities to finish your year with clarity, confidence, and care.

✨ Financial peace isn’t about doing everything. It’s about doing the right things at the right time.

Giving is a Wealth Strategy

This time of year, generosity is everywhere, but real giving starts long before the holidays.

When you align your donations with your values, giving becomes one of the most powerful financial strategies you’ll ever use. 💛

Here’s what most people don’t realize:
✔️ You can receive up to a 50% tax credit ( Federal and Provincial Combined) for charitable donations in Canada.

✔️ Donating securities instead of cash can help you avoid capital gains tax.

✔️ You can even name a charity in your will — turning kindness into legacy.

Money isn’t just about saving or earning more, it’s about directing it toward what matters most.

When you give with intention, you multiply your abundance, because your wealth begins to mirror your heart.
