I wanted to take a moment to share a recent personal experience that truly highlighted the importance of what I do every day and why we all need a financial safety net for our loved ones.
A few weeks ago, I underwent a successful surgery for the removal of a lung tumour. Thankfully, the tumour was benign, and I’m recovering well. But receiving the news initially was, understandably, quite shocking. Moments like these tend to make us pause and take stock of what matters most.
In my latest video, I share my story in more detail, reflect on lessons learned, and discuss how this experience reaffirmed the work I do every day: supporting professionals like you with the financial protection and tools you need to secure your future.
Thank you for being a part of my journey and for following my blogs and videos. I hope this message resonates with you and provides value in some way.
Warm regards
