Life-Guided Financial Planning

Many financial literacy programs fall short because information alone isn’t enough—we learn best when lessons apply directly to our lives. Are you confident that your estate plan is up to date? That you’re gifting in the most tax-efficient way? That your portfolio aligns with both your short- and long-term needs? If you answered “I’m not sure” to any of these, this seminar is for you.

Join Certified Financial Planner™ professional Brenna Baucum for a life-guided approach to financial planning. Through real client case studies, Brenna will reveal how these seemingly separate questions are deeply connected—and how a comprehensive financial plan can give you confidence in every aspect of your financial life.
