POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Last year, between March and July , I experienced one of the scariest moments of my life: a breast cancer scare. ❤️‍🩹

Having faced a cancer diagnosis years ago, this experience brought back some very real fears. Thankfully, my breast cancer scare did not result in another diagnosis, but it reminded me just how quickly life can change.

Please schedule your mammograms. Do your self-checks. Pay attention to your body. Early detection matters.

But there’s another conversation we need to have: protecting your finances if the unexpected happens.

If I had received a breast cancer diagnosis last year, it could have turned my world upside down. Beyond the emotional and physical toll, I would have had to consider medical expenses, household bills, missed income, and caring for my family.

That’s why, as a licensed professional fiduciary, I want more people to understand the importance of life insurance coverage with living benefits.

Depending on the policy and qualifying conditions, living benefits may allow you to access a portion of your death benefit while you’re still living if you experience a qualifying illness. That money may help with bills and other financial needs during a difficult season.

And don’t assume your employer’s coverage is all you need. Explore what individual coverage outside of work may be available to you, too.

We can’t always control what happens to our health, but we can take steps to prepare financially for the unexpected.

💚 Want to know what coverage with living benefits could look like for you?

Comment PROTECT or send me a DM with the word PROTECT, and let’s explore your options.

Take care of your health. Protect your finances. Give yourself and your family another layer of security. 💚 by @sparkwealthalignment

🌪️ EVERYBODY’S PREPARING FOR THE STORM… BUT NOBODY’S TALKING ABOUT THIS! 👀

You’ve stocked up on water, grabbed the batteries, charged your devices, and secured your home.

But what about your FINANCIAL LIFE?! 💰

Imagine having just 10 minutes to evacuate your home.

Would you know where to find your family’s birth certificates, insurance policies, financial records, and other important documents?

And if those documents were destroyed, would you have a backup?

As a financial educator, I want to remind you that protecting your wealth is just as important as building it!

That’s why I created this Financial Go-Bag Checklist with 10 essential documents every household should have organized, protected, and accessible in an emergency.

🌪️ SAVE this post so you can check off each item.
📲 SHARE it with your family, friends, and group chats. Somebody you love might need this reminder!
💚 SCREENSHOT the checklist and start preparing TODAY!

And remember, store sensitive documents securely, both digitally and in a protected physical location.
Because when the storm comes, the last thing you want to worry about is where your important documents are.
Protect your information. Protect your family. Protect your future. 💚

Girl, you have a plan for everybody... but what about YOU?! 👀

As women and mothers, we’re often the CEOs of everybody else’s lives. We manage schedules, appointments, activities, and futures.

But somewhere between taking care of everybody else and handling life, we forget to make a plan for ourselves.
And I’m not just talking about self-care Sundays and brunch dates.

I’m talking about FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE.
The kind that gives you choices, flexibility, and freedom.
Because your family deserves a financially secure YOU, and so do you!

Tag a girlfriend who needs this reminder. 💚

🎯 The prize isn’t luck. It’s strategy.

Building wealth doesn’t happen because you finally “find” the right opportunity. It happens through small, intentional, disciplined steps that compound over time.

And I know… right now, the economy can make saving feel like a luxury. You may be thinking, “I can barely afford to save anything.”

But here’s the truth: you may not be able to save a lot right now, but that doesn’t mean you can’t start.

Sometimes the biggest challenge isn’t knowing that we should save. It’s having the strategy, structure, and discipline to actually do it consistently.

That’s where I come in. 💚

I help you look at where you are, identify opportunities you may be overlooking, and create a strategy to help you build, protect, and align your wealth one step at a time.

Because small savings + consistency + time can become something much bigger.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need a strategy for where you are right now.

📚 CLASS IS IN SESSION!

One thing about me... I absolutely LOVE to educate.

My classroom may look a little different these days, but the mission is still the same: give people information they can actually use.

As a financial educator, one of my favorite things to do is facilitate financial literacy workshops in the community. Over the past few months, I’ve had the pleasure of working with this amazing group of seniors, covering everything from money management and generational wealth to protecting themselves financially.

This particular conversation was all about staying safe in a world where people are getting more creative about trying to gain access to our money and personal information.

One simple strategy we discussed: create a family SAFE WORD.

My family actually uses one too. If someone other than the usual person ever needs to pick up my children, there’s a word they need to know. That same concept can be used with trusted family members, caregivers and even financial professionals as an extra layer of verification.

Because sometimes the best financial education isn’t about how to MAKE more money. It’s about knowing how to protect what you already have.

And yes, I’m available for community workshops, speaking engagements and community partnerships.I have a full financial literacy curriculum with topics that can be customized for your organization, senior community, church, business, school or group.

Want to bring a workshop to your community or schedule a one-on-one session? Click the link in my bio or comment “COMMUNITY”.

Now I want to hear from YOU 👇🏾

What’s one safety tip you use with your family to protect your money, identity or personal information, especially as we head into the holiday season?

Drop it below. Somebody else may need your tip! 💡 by @sparkwealthalignment

I’m going to hold your hand when I say this… 🤝🏾

**Please stop putting off life insurance for your children.**

And yes, we can cover children of ALL ages. They do not have to be babies or toddlers. But this message is specifically for the parents and grandparents of the little ones.

**Get it while you can.**

Depending on the child, coverage amount, product and eligibility, some children’s policies may start around **$9 a month, and certain coverage amounts may be even less.**

Baby… that can be ONE Starbucks run. One Chick-fil-A trip. ☕️🐔

And with certain permanent policies, premiums can be designed to remain level, meaning you’re not suddenly shopping for coverage years later when their health history may look completely different.

Because here’s the part I need parents to understand:

**You can replace $9. You cannot go back in time and replace insurability.**

A future diagnosis, medication or change in health could affect the products, coverage amounts or features available to your child later.

And some children’s policies can offer so much more than a death benefit, including opportunities to build cash value, living benefits or riders, future insurability options, and, with certain programs, additional benefits such as scholarships or estate-planning resources.

This isn’t about expecting something bad to happen to your baby.

It’s about protecting as many of their future options as possible while you can.

So before the month ends, I’m asking you to do one thing:

Check.

That’s it. Find out what your child qualifies for and what fits your family’s budget.

If you have a baby, toddler, child, teen, grandbaby or great-grandbaby you want to explore coverage for, comment **BABY** or DM me **BABY** and let’s look at the options together. 💚

*Coverage, premiums, benefits and eligibility vary by carrier, product, age, health and underwriting. Guarantees are subject to policy terms and timely premium payments. by @sparkwealthalignment

Plot twist: the classroom teacher became a Marketing Director in FinTech. 😭

And apparently… we’re just getting started.

Our leadership retreat in Destin reminded me how grateful I am for this unexpected chapter of my life.

In just nine months, our agency celebrated hitting **$1 MILLION in target premium**. 🥂

Personally, I’ve earned **two promotions** since entering the industry, stepped into leadership as a **Marketing Director**, and I’m now building toward opening my own agency.

But the numbers and titles aren’t even my favorite part.

It’s the PEOPLE.

The families we get to educate and serve.
The leaders we get to develop.
The community we’re building.
And the opportunity to create something that can actually scale.

I’ve spent most of my life helping children build confidence through education, creativity, and the arts. Now I get to help families build **economic confidence**, too.

And the beautiful part is, I don’t have to choose one purpose over the other.

I can build a scalable financial business that gives me the resources, flexibility, and reach to continue pouring into children and families in even bigger ways.

So yes, I’m building an agency.

And as I build, I’m paying attention to the leaders around me. The educators. The 9-5 professionals, The entrepreneurs. The people who know they’re capable of more impact and are simply looking for the right vehicle, mentorship, community, and room to grow.

Maybe that’s why you’ve been watching my journey. 👀.

Just consider this your invitation to ask me what I’m building.

Comment “Build” and let’s have a coffee chat.

We’re in the FINAL days of Life Insurance Awareness Month, and prayerfully, by now, when you think LIFE INSURANCE… you think of me.

But I also hope you think of me when you think about financial education, protecting your income, building wealth, planning for retirement, or simply getting your financial house in order.

I’m currently on a mission to help 100 families in 90 days, and I would be honored for your family to be one of them.

Maybe you need life insurance.
Maybe you already have a policy but have no idea what it actually does.

Maybe you need a second set of eyes on your finances.
Or maybe you just need someone to help you figure out where to start.

That’s what I’m here for.

If you’re seeing this and you need a complimentary personal financial review or life insurance policy review, comment **HELP** below.

No shame. No judgment. Just education, strategy, and a plan.

Let’s get your financial house in order. 🤎 by @sparkwealthalignment

Parents, this is one of those conversations I wish more families were having earlier.

Your child’s financial future can be part of the legacy conversation from the beginning.

He thought I was about to inspect his room. I inspect policies too. 😂🦖

And some of y’all make the SAME face when I start asking questions about your life insurance. 😂

“Do you have coverage?”
Yes.

“How much?”
👀

“What kind?”
👀👀

“Does it have living benefits?”
🦖 backs away slowly

September is Life Insurance Awareness Month, so consider this your friendly reminder to actually know what you have.

Already insured? Let’s review it.
Not insured? Let’s talk about your options.
Only have coverage through work? Let’s take a second look at that too.

FUN FACT: This T-Rex costume cost me $14.99 at Ross. 🦖

That’s $5 MORE than I pay each month for his $9.99 life insurance policy.

So please don’t automatically convince yourself that life insurance is “too expensive” before you’ve even explored your options. Cost varies based on age, health, coverage and policy type, but you may be surprised by what’s available.

Protecting the people you love is serious business... even when your spokesperson is a T-Rex. 😂🦖💚
