Last week our virtual Toastmasters group Women of Influence Toastmasters Club had a little fun with our theme, ๐Ÿ‘‘ Queen For The Day ๐Ÿ‘‘.

As for that meeting, I was the one who got to pick the theme. In honor of #๐—ค๐˜‚๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—˜๐—น๐—ถ๐˜‡๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ต๐—œ๐—œ, I thought we could have a little fun and invited everyone to where their headpiece of choice.

(I don't own a tiara, but thanks to a quick Canva Zoom background creation, I "wore" a sparkly crown surrounded by royal purple!)

Our group is vibrant, engaging, kind and welcoming. If being a better speaker and leader is on your self-improvement goal list, I invite you to ๐Ÿ…’๐Ÿ…ž๐Ÿ…œ๐Ÿ…” ๐Ÿ…๐Ÿ…ข ๐Ÿ… ๐Ÿ…–๐Ÿ…ค๐Ÿ…”๐Ÿ…ข๐Ÿ…ฃ # to see what this is all about.

We meet every Wednesday at noon Pacific time.

I was recently interviewed by CFPยฎ and Business Growth Expert, Robyn Crane on her ๐—š๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—™๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—•๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€, ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ช๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ป'๐˜€ ๐—ช๐—ฎ๐˜† podcast.

It was a very (unexpectedly) emotional conversation. Some of the things we talked about really hit something deep inside. And yes, despite my stoic German heritage, there were tears.

Robyn's mission is to increase the footprint of women in the financial space by helping female financial advisors like me become so successful, they build the business they want (to support their life) and never leave the industry.

In my episode, โ€œ๐˜ฟ๐™š๐™จ๐™ž๐™œ๐™ฃ ๐™”๐™ค๐™ช๐™ง ๐™๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™˜๐™ž๐™–๐™ก ๐˜ฝ๐™ช๐™จ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™š๐™จ๐™จ ๐™๐™ค ๐™Ž๐™ช๐™ฅ๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™ง๐™ฉ ๐™”๐™ค๐™ช๐™ง ๐™‡๐™ž๐™›๐™šโ€, we discussed:
Living your ideal life
Being clear about what you want from your business
The power of perseverance

Robyn has made an impact on me and my business building confidence.

1๏ธโƒฃ The financial services industry historically has a reputation much like used car salespeople, (sorry salespeople). The CFPยฎ designation is an attempt to set industry standards based on education, examination, ethics and experience to grow into a respected profession like the medical or accounting professions. There are steps to enforce standards as well.

2๏ธโƒฃ Although there is some debate, I think the person giving you financial advice should be a fiduciary to reduce, remove or disclose conflicts. CFPยฎ pros commit to act in their clientโ€™s best interests, at all times.

3๏ธโƒฃ Knowing that your financial professional has already met rigorous standards and also commits to ongoing education ensures they will stay fresh and current in a fast-changing field.

Are you working with someone who is on your side?

Not letting perfect or procrastination get in the way of the possible?
Not letting time go by without challenging you to take a hard look at your life - Where do you want to be...and how do you get there?

Most importantly, who will help you do that?

Our Story

I help women earn more, keep more and grow their money so they can have the life they want. Have you reached some milestone in your life, for better or worse? I see it all the time, a recent death of a loved one, a divorce, or an impending change in your life like receiving sudden money, retirement or career change. These transitions can be the catalyst to wake us up and really take charge of our financial life. Does that sound like you? I can help.

Avea Financial Planning LLC is shaking up the status quo by offering investment management and financial advice to professional women or retirees, especially those associated with the Hanford Site, DOE National Lab PNNL and education. We also work with recently divorced or widowed women and help them organize and manage their finances through these transitions.

As a fee-only, fiduciary, and independent financial advisor, Angela Furubotten-LaRosee is never paid a commission and has a legal obligation to provide unbiased and trustworthy financial advice.

Avea is the SE Washington's first fee-only, fiduciary, female-owned firm offering financial planning for a flat fee.

โ€œFee-onlyโ€ indicates that no financial products are sold and the firm is compensated directly by the client. This contrasts with most advisors who earn fees either by selling commissioned products or charging a percentage fee based on the balance of an account.

Avea Financial Planning is a Registered Investment Advisory firm and Angie is a Certified Financial Plannerโ„ข professional, both indicators of the highest level of fiduciary care in the industry. Why should you care? It means that clientsโ€™ interests come first and advice is delivered with reduced conflicts of interest. Only about 20% of advisors are Certified Financial Plannerโ„ข professionals and within that population, only 23% are women.

โ€œWe hear about it all the time; Americans stress over financial matters and that leaves them feeling vulnerable and unprepared,โ€ said Angie Furubotten-LaRosee, Certified Financial Plannerโ„ข pro and founder. โ€œOur financial lives are becoming so complex and thatโ€™s where a relationship with a financial advisor who works in your best interest plays a key role. Our focus is about so much more than just retirement or investment management. Itโ€™s about thoughtfully coordinating all the parts of your financial life to help you live your richest life.โ€

Angela Furubotten-LaRosee is a Certified Financial Planner based in Richland, WA but works virtually with clients from around the country.
