At Better Pockets Financial, we celebrate the professionals dedicated to enhancing the wellbeing of others — our revered ‘Superheroes’ or ‘Do-Gooders.’ These remarkable individuals span a broad spectrum of professions, from social workers and educators to healthcare providers and nonprofit leaders. While in a variety of different roles, each one shares a common trait: a profound commitment to improving lives and fostering the optimal wellbeing of those they serve.

Despite the essential and impactful nature of their work, many of these professionals face unique financial challenges. While many enter their respective fields driven by passion and altruism, a majority tend to find themselves grappling with inadequate financial compensation and the emotional toll of secondary trauma. My own transition from business administration to social work, and then back again, was a real eye-opener to these challenges.


Our Mission: We’re Here to Help YOU


That’s why, when we started Better Pockets Financial, we set out on a mission to recognize the invaluable work of these dedicated individuals and help ensure they receive the financial planning support necessary to sustain their efforts and thrive personally. I believe that recognizing and addressing these obstacles is crucial for securing not just a sustainable future but also for enhancing your ability to serve effectively.


How Better Pockets Financial Can Help You:


1. Balanced Capacity Planning: It's vital for Do-Gooders to maintain a healthy balance between professional duties and personal needs. Through the lens of an 'Energy Bucket' mentality, together we endeavor to assist in refocusing effective energy and stress management. By identifying and addressing areas where you might be overextending — such as neglecting personal health, interests, or financial planning — we offer strategies that can replenish your energy. This proactive approach helps prevent burnout and ensures you can continue your impactful work without sacrificing personal wellbeing.


2. Tailored Financial Wellness Programs: We provide three specialized planning packages, each designed to meet the unique financial situations of Do-Gooders. These packages are flexible, with no investment minimums, making our financial advice accessible to everyone. Our fee-only model ensures that our guidance is unbiased and solely in your best interests. Whether you're just starting out or seeking to refine your financial strategy, we're here to support you every step of the way.


3. Ongoing Support and Adaptive Strategies: Financial planning is a dynamic process that must evolve with your life changes. We are committed to being a constant, supportive presence in your financial journey, adapting our strategies as your personal and professional circumstances change. By providing ongoing guidance and support, we help you navigate through life's transitions smoothly, keeping your financial goals aligned with your evolving needs.


A Warm Invitation to Let Us Do Good For You


My team and I are eager to assist in rewriting the narrative around financial wellness for Do-Gooders by helping you embrace financial planning as a powerful tool that supports and enhances your ability to do good effectively. We invite all dedicated professionals to reach out — let's start a conversation on how we can support your journey toward a secure and fulfilling financial future.


Together, we can help ensure that your passion for changing the community is matched by a strong commitment to your own financial health and well-being.
