We understand that discussing funeral plans can feel morbid, but our host, Laura Johnson, invites us to see the hopeful side of pre-planning.

As the owner of Hummingbird Wealth Management, Laura brings decades of wisdom from watching families navigate the difficult process of saying goodbye to loved ones. Through her experience, she emphasizes how pre-planning offers comfort and clarity, giving families a way to cherish their memories and grieve without added stress. Often, people believe their families will intuitively know what to do, but in truth, pre-planning lifts a great weight from their shoulders during a time when they need to focus on love and healing. It allows you to express your wishes—whether it's choosing a special song, flowers, or prayers—so your loved ones can honor your memory exactly as you envision.

Your financial plan should support not only your life but also the peace of mind and love you wish to leave behind. Pre-planning a funeral is a meaningful act of care that ensures your legacy is one of love, hope, and compassion.

Join Laura Johnson, host and founder of Hummingbird Wealth Management, as she shares the importance of understanding your relationship with money. She emphasizes that money does not define your self-worth and that you can have a healthy relationship with it.

Everyone has a money backstory that shapes whether they trust money, feel they're good enough to handle it, feel secure with it, or feel judged. Having more money does not equal more success. She shares that one of the worst things we can do, especially during this season, is to compare ourselves to others' "success."

Healthy relationships don't happen by accident - not only with money, but with people as well! They happen through awareness, communication, boundaries, grace, and lots of hard work. She stresses that we should treat money like someone we care about, with honesty, curiosity, and consistency. She also says we should ask ourselves, "What is my money meant to do?" When we focus our money on purpose, our relationship with money feels more supportive.

Be sure to ask, "Is your money supporting the life you love, or a life you feel pressured to live?"

Join Hummingbird Wealth Management founder, Laura Johnson, as she cheerfully highlights the joy of setting intentions for resolutions that truly inspire positive change in your future. Many of us gear up for New Year's resolutions, only to find ourselves feeling a bit defeated by February because we set lofty goals or lengthy lists that might be too ambitious.

In this podcast, Laura kindly encourages us to reflect playfully, asking what brought us happiness over the past year, what gave us peace, and what caused a bit of financial or emotional stress. Resolutions are about becoming aware—seeing what lifted us up and what held us back—so we can happily adjust our goals as we go.

Laura invites us to set meaningful goals by asking, "What feeling am I chasing?" and to think about how these goals make us feel emotionally.

Join Laura on this warm, fun journey and start to feel more genuine and upbeat about your resolutions.
