In the midst of profound widow fog, I reached out to other financial professionals in search of guidance. Instead, I found myself on video calls with strangers, answering deeply personal questions while being pushed toward products I didn’t need and decisions I wasn’t ready to make. It left me feeling overwhelmed and even more alone than before.

Even well-meaning friends and family didn’t know how to support me. I felt unrecognizable—to myself and to them. What I needed was space to breathe, empathy, and guidance that honored the deeper work I was facing: figuring out who I was becoming and what I wanted my life to be after such a profound loss.

As I healed and reimagined my life, I connected with other women navigating loss, divorce, career change, and other major transitions. While our stories were different, the need was the same—we weren’t just rebuilding finances; we were redefining ourselves and our futures. That realization led me to create Next Chapter Financial—a life-first, money-second approach to planning that supports women through major life changes with clarity and compassion.
