The first week of January always feels like a natural pause—just long enough to look back before stepping forward. As I reflect on 2025, one word rises to the top: gratitude.
Thank You to My Clients
To my 2025 clients—thank you. Thank you for trusting me with your numbers, your questions, your uncertainty, and your goals. It’s been an honor to walk alongside you this year, and I’m genuinely excited about what 2026 holds for you.
If you need a reset, a sounding board, or a simple accountability call, I’m here. Sometimes one conversation is all it takes to regain momentum.
Grateful for New Partnerships
2025 brought meaningful partnerships with financial advisors and planners.
Each of us brings different strengths to the table. Together, we can streamline what often feels overwhelming for clients. Collaboration isn’t just efficient—it leads to better, more human outcomes.
2025 Accomplishments
Highlights from a year of growth, connection, and momentum:
Accidental Web Designer. Refreshed www.GrabYourSlice.com with a full DIY facelift—proof that beginners can build great things (even if they can’t always repeat them 😄).
Stronger LinkedIn Presence. Expanded reach and engagement by sharing practical insights on financial coaching, partnerships, and real-life money conversations.
Industry Conferences Attended. Participated in XYPN and MMM, deepening relationships and staying connected to collaborative financial planning.
Millionaire Money Mentors. Served on the planning committee for the 2026 conference in Orlando, Florida.
New Blog Section Launched. Added a dedicated blog section on GrabYourSlice.com to share reflections, insights, and actionable guidance year-round.
Podcast Features: Appeared on:
Behind The Advisor (XYPN) Podcast, Episode 410 - with Alan Moore: How financial coaches strengthen advisory relationships
Catching Up to FI Podcast, Episode 120 - with Bill Yount and Jackie Cummings Koski: Mama, Are We Poor? A Single Mom’s Millionaire Mindset
SOS for Your Life Podcast - with Susie St Angelo: Life lessons for every age.
Expanded Professional Partnerships. Focused on building relationships with financial advisors and planners, offering clients short-term coaching support at a fraction of the cost. Clients win with customized support. Advisors win with more robust client conversations out of the gate.
Areas for Improvement (it wasn't perfect)
In 2025, I identified two areas I’m actively improving:
Stronger Follow-Up Systems: Building more consistent processes for thoughtful networking follow-up.
Scalable Client Systems: Refining workflows to stay organized, responsive, and fully present as my client base grows.
Progress isn’t about doing more—it’s about building better. :P
What’s Next in 2026
2026 is about expansion, collaboration, and impact:
Expand Partnership Opportunities: Growing partnerships beyond advisors to include accountants, therapists, health insurance brokers, and real estate professionals. Interested in adding short-term financial coaching as a service? Let’s talk.
Launch an Employee Coaching Program: Building a practical, human-centered financial coaching program for small businesses with up to 99 employees.
New Book - for Children: Yes, I am trying my hand at publishing my very first children's book AND with co-author Bill Yount! We are pretty excited about it!

Immersion – Panel Speaker (March | Kansas City, MO)
