I’ve been working on something big behind the scenes at Sound View Financial Advisors, and I’m excited to finally share it.

As of April 1, I acquired Waypoint Financial Planning following Alan Dossett’s retirement, and I’m incredibly grateful he chose to partner with me and trusted me with his clients. That kind of trust means a lot.

It also matters to you.

When you choose a financial advisor, you want to know the person guiding you is building something steady, thoughtful, and built to last. You want continuity. You want personal service. You want to know your family is working with a firm that’s growing in the right way.

That’s exactly what I’m building at Sound View, and I’m excited about what’s ahead.

If you’ve been looking for financial guidance for yourself or your family, this is a good time to get to know us.

You’re teaching your kids something about money every day.

It starts with your language. If you only talk about money when it’s stressful, kids learn that managing finances is a little scary.

Try saying “That’s not a priority right now,” instead of “No! We’re broke!”

Language like that demonstrates creating space between wanting something and buying it.

The lesson isn’t only for kids. Partners, aging parents, and your own inner dialogue improve when you change your language.

Constructive conversations begin when you stop making everything about how little you have and start talking about how priorities, timing, values, and tradeoffs decide your spending.

You help the next generation by making money less taboo. Talk about work. Talk about how decisions get made. Talk about what something costs and whether it is worth it.

05/27/2026

Your kids are learning about money long before you sit them down for a big money talk.

They hear how you react at the store. They notice the tone in your voice when bills come up. They notice if money feels like a shameful topic or a normal part of life.

Instead of saying, “We can’t afford that,” try saying, “That’s not a priority right now.”

That teaches your kids discernment instead of fear.

It also helps you. The way you talk to your kids about money usually sounds a lot like the way you talk to yourself. When your language gets calmer and clearer, confidence grows in the whole household.

I make videos for the internet every Tuesday to get you thinking about how you handle money. They’re no substitute for working with a financial advisor, but they're a place to start.

The way you handle money affects how much you can count on each other.

This episode of my web series Heartbroke follows Shanelle and Brian, a couple with real goals, real savings, and one big problem: they’re not treating that money the same way.

She’s focused on school, a house, and long-term stability. He sees extra room and spends more freely.

That makes it hard to relate, even when you both want the same future.

Start with being honest about your habits and whether your actions line up with the life you say you want.

If you’ve ever felt like you and your partner agree on the dream but not the day-to-day choices, this one will hit home.

Even when you change your relationship with money, you can still feel like the “old version” of yourself.

- Maybe you used to avoid looking at your account balances.
- Maybe you did overspend.
- Maybe you made decisions you regret.

Patterns change when you stop using old behavior as proof of who you are now.

- You can be someone who checks the account each week.
- You can be someone who asks the question without fear of looking stupid.
- You can be someone who pays attention before things turn into a mess.

And if you need help, get help. A financial advisor helps you learn, make better decisions, and stop treating old habits like your identity.

05/20/2026

You start trusting yourself with money by doing what you said you’d do.

You say you’re going to save more, stop overspending, or finally sit down and look at your numbers.

Then you put it off, and your brain notices.

After a while, that turns into a story.
- “See? I don’t do this.”
- “I’m not good at money.”

Every time you avoid something you told yourself you’d handle, you self-sabotage because your brain only believes what you keep doing, not what you say you’ll do.

That’s why small follow-through matters. So do your future self a favor.

Move a little money to savings.

Look at your IRA account.

Spend twenty minutes today dealing with the thing you’ve been avoiding.

Your future self will thank you!

You can get money advice anywhere. What’s harder to find is guidance that actually fits your life.

When you’re making decisions about saving, investing, career changes, family support, or what comes next, the issue usually isn’t a lack of info. It’s knowing what applies to you, what matters most right now, and what to do first.

That’s exactly why I wrote Demystifying Money.

I wanted to create something that helps you think more clearly about your habits, your choices, and the stories you’ve been telling yourself about money, so you can stop second-guessing every move and start building confidence step by step.

If you’re tired of generic advice, start here. It’s an easy read: https://zurl.co/SW3PF

You can lose a lot of time and money waiting to feel ready.

- The investment account can wait until you have “extra cash.”
- The retirement review can wait until you’re “older.”
- The insurance update can wait because you’re “healthy.”

You don’t have to figure everything out alone. Working with a financial advisor helps you build confidence as you ask questions, learn, and make decisions with more understanding. And when you do ask for help, make sure you’re looking for someone who’s a fiduciary.

That’s part of why I became a CFP® professional and a fiduciary. A CFP means I went through a rigorous certification process, passed the exam, met experience requirements, and agreed to ethical standards. Being a fiduciary means I’m required to put my clients’ interests first.

At Sound View, that also means we’re fee-only, so we don’t accept commissions, quotas, trails, or referral fees.
It costs nothing to make the appointment. A conversation with Sound View Financial Advisors can help you figure out what matters now and what can wait.

If you only make decisions when you’re certain it will all turn out all right, you’ll never make a good financial decision.

Waiting feels responsible; often, it’s just fear dressed up as research. You tell yourself you need one more article, one more opinion, one more month, one more sign.

Meanwhile, nothing changes.

So, go ahead and open the savings account, set that boundary, ask the question, raise your prices, and make the appointment.

You build confidence by making small decisions, seeing what happens, and learning you can handle the next one too.

I make these videos to share what I’ve learned as the owner of SoundView Financial Advisors with anyone who wants to learn more about how money works. It’s no substitute for personal guidance from a professional advisor, but I hope it helps.

Taking care of your health deserves the same attention as taking care of your finances, because illness is expensive.

With National Women’s Health Week starting next week, this episode of Demystifying Money is a timely listen. Holistic health coach Julie Hudson joins me to talk about why your food budget can be one of the smartest places to invest now, before bigger medical bills show up later. They also get into how all-or-nothing thinking keeps people stuck, and why small changes in sleep, movement, stress, and meal planning can make a real difference over time.

This episode is a good one to listen to now.
