FOUNDER + CFP®
Rachael Burns
Before founding my own firm, I spent over a decade advising high-net-worth families at Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, and Ameriprise. During that time, I witnessed how often women experiencing divorce or widowhood were left feeling unseen, unheard, or unsupported by traditional financial advisors. The advice they received often didn't reflect the unique emotional and financial complexities they were facing. They needed more than just investment strategies - they needed a trusted partner who understood the weight of their situation and could walk alongside them with compassion and expertise. I knew there had to be a better way.
NAVIGATING LIFE'S CHALLENGES WITH YOU
While I am happily married today, I know firsthand how grief, trauma, and finances can collide. Shortly after learning I was expecting twins, my husband was diagnosed with an aggressive brain cancer. Overnight, every plan I had for our future disappeared.
As a financial professional and a natural planner, I found myself doing the unthinkable — preparing for the worst while trying to hold my family together. It was overwhelming and terrifying. But having the skills and confidence to manage our finances gave me a sense of stability when everything else felt out of control.
That experience shaped my calling: to help women facing major life transitions — like divorce or the death of a spouse — protect their financial futures when everything else feels uncertain. I want to take the burden of financial stress off your shoulders, so you can focus on what matters most: healing and rebuilding your life.
