SUMMARY:Preparing for the Unexpected: A Conversation with the Pros about Life Planning
DESCRIPTION:Adulting\, like real adulting\, is no joke. Beyond paying the bills and showing\nup for work\, there’s planning for the future — and it’s not all intuitive.\nThat’s why we’ve invited several professionals together to help us get started\non some of the trickier parts of planning for the years ahead.

Our goal is to have you\nleave with more insight and resources to help you make big decisions and set\nyou and your family up for success.   \nThe pros on our panel will include:\nAbigail Berlin\, LMSW: Psychotherapist & Hospital Social Worker\, Berlin Therapy\nPLLC \nCarly Pickel\, CFP\, CPFA\, CSRIC: Vice President\, Wealth Management Advisor \nMichelle A.
