A New Message from Heidi
Dear Friends, Last week was a harrowing week: mounting infection and death counts, a huge spike in our country’s unemployment rate, reports of local, national and international businesses struggling. Just turning on the news or scrolling social media has become an...
A Message From “Lockdown”
Friends, as a Rock Island girl, I’m writing this note from my home office while in “lockdown”. Our worlds have been turned upside-down. What we thought we knew even a week ago has been turned on its ear. Since we have no control over the pandemic, the...
A Message from Heidi
In these turbulent and uncertain times as we grapple locally, nationally and internationally with the COVID-19 threat, I want to send out my best wishes to all in our community, especially our small business friends. As a result on social distancing practices,...
Investing 101 – Stocks
I’m a big believer in education and meeting people exactly where they are in their financial journey. With about 20 years of experience as a financial planner, I’ve come across countless people who have so much fear and shame surrounding finances. So many people are...
Money Can’t Buy A Perfect Christmas Story
It was a cold, clear day in early December. I was bundled up against the chilly air with full-on long winter coat and toasty lined gloves. In front of the WQAD building in Moline, I stood with their news anchor, Katherine Bauer, and a uniformed marine to speak on...
Money Can’t Buy A Child’s Heartfelt Smile
I am a long-time, proud member of the Rock Island Kiwanis Club and my favorite service project of the year is one held every November that we fondly call “Coats for Kids”. For the past 12 years, I have spearheaded this special day in which our club reaches out...
Money Can’t Buy Friends Along The Journey
We never accomplish great things all on our own. There is so much power in the contributions of others to each of our stories. Since I began my journey as a freshly-minted entrepreneur over two and a half years ago, I've been the grateful recipient of advice,...
Money Can’t Buy Entrepreneurship
Myiah, my 10-year-old mentee, comes from a family of 11 children. She lives with three adults, but none of them work outside the home. In her world, women don’t have careers. I’m trying to change that worldview. I talk frequently to Myiah about not if she’ll go to...
Money Can’t Buy Community Connection
As raising up “at-risk” children is one of my driving passions, the related issue of hunger is also near to my heart. The Riverbend Food Bank, serving Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois, is attempting to feed the over 120,000 people in our service area who are...
Money Can’t Buy Equality
The YWCA of the Quad-Cities recently held its inaugural “Race Against Racism” in Rock Island. I’m a white woman of privilege. I grew up and then later raised my two children in a lovely neighborhood in Rock Island where there were always kids out riding their bikes...
Money Can’t Buy True Value
Lead(h)er, a women’s mentoring organization of which I am on the Board of Directors, is over 600 members strong in our Quad-Cities community and it is making a huge impact on lifting up women. I was privileged to sponsor and speak at our last quarterly membership...
Financial Advisor Talks About How Money Can’t Buy Bravery
When I was a young girl growing up in the ‘60s and ‘70s, the “popular” girls were cute and poised, fun and flirty. I was none of those things. I was the “nerd” with her head in a book, sitting in the front row of every classroom and always raising her...
