Welcome to my Blog! This is my first post and to be quite honest, before recently publishing my first book, Now That He’s Gone, a Financial Therapist’s Guide to Life After Loss, I didn’t even know what a blog was! To those of you who just stumbled on this post, a brief introduction of myself. I am a registered securities principal and managing partner of JBT Financial LLC, a financial services firm in Bloomfield Hills, MI. I frequently speak on women’s investment issues. Over the years in my work as a financial planner, hundreds of women from 35 to 80 have come to me as an advisor. But as I quickly learned they needed me for more than financial advice. They needed me to listen to their stories, to understand the challenges they faced. That’s how I earned my honorary title, Financial Therapist. I also founded an organization called “just our girls”. Our group gathers together as sisters who have experienced a spousal loss through divorce, death or other life trauma. We emotionally support and encourage each other while learning skills for our new single life.

So, my goal for this Blog is to share stories about myself and the amazing women I meet. My hope is that every woman who suffers a life-altering loss will find comfort and support here. Hope to see you again soon!
