Sometimes you have to risk your financial security to propel your life forward.

This week I ask the question—when should you interrupt financial stability for something more important?

For the new subscribers—those who know me only as a financial planner running her business from a rural village on Lake Ontario—it was not always this way. And for those of you who have been with me since the beginning—a reminder of how things came to be.

In 2020 I said yes to the adventure of a lifetime. Ditching my bougie Coronado lifestyle and moving to the rural village I now call home.

I exchanged boss babe for wife, Nordstroms for Carhartt, Hotel Del for backyard bonfires, and sunny and 75 for harsh winters. It was the best decision I ever made and changed the course of my life. I know now, God has called me here for a purpose—not only in my own life but for the lives around me.

But it is not so easy as that. I risked a lot financially to get here. I sold my home, paid for a hugely expensive move across country and most scary, I had to trust that my idea of an online financial planning business would appeal to enough of my current and new clients to keep the lights on.

It ultimately propelled my entire life, not just my business, to places I would not have attained standing still in Coronado. Plus, now that I’ve done it, I can confidently encourage my clients and others who want to move or drastically change their life—that they can too.

Remember, while prosperity is what we are all working for, sometimes you have to interrupt the prosperity to resituate your life so you are fulfilled.

This ice fishing trip on Lake Ontario somehow captures the joy and adventure I had no idea existed until I decided to let go and trust that God has a plan for us all—even in the most unexpected places.
