Greetings!

February is a month that invites reflection, recognition, and planning for what matters most. In this issue, we’re highlighting stories of leadership and empowerment, sharing important guidance for navigating key financial decisions, and introducing a practical tool designed to support you and the people you care about most.


We’re beyond proud to celebrate our very own Marianna Goldenberg, the 2026 recipient of the Alexandra Armstrong Empowerment Award!!! See more about the award below and how it was presented at the Commonwealth National Women’s Conference! 


We’re also revisiting our recent conversation on Social Security for Divorcees and Widows, offering clear, accessible insights for those who were unable to attend the webinar - or who want a refresher on this important topic.


And finally, we’re introducing our Family Love Letter, a thoughtful resource created to help you organize essential information and communicate your wishes, providing clarity and peace of mind for your loved ones.


As always, our goal is to support you with guidance that’s both meaningful and practical - helping you move forward with confidence, today and into the future.
