Our team has always been passionate about helping people, and we’re excited to introduce a new way that we will be trying to do that. We’ve always defined wellness in broad terms — not just considering physical health, but a person’s entire experience, including emotional wellbeing and relational health. But recently, we’ve recognized one component that often goes ignored, which has a huge impact on every person’s happiness & health — finances.

This is a massive and deeply complex problem, so we don’t take it on lightly. But we are excited to use what we know, to help.

Today, we’d like to introduce you to Northbound! Northbound is our new initiative to provide information, education, and inspiration for those seeking direction and support for achieving personal success. Northbound will provide simple, honest, and meaningful advice that will help people build the foundation they need (establishing “financial health”) so they can live the life they desire (“financial wealth” + happiness = being well).

If this sounds like something you could use, we invite you to join us. Leave your email, HERE, and we’ll keep ya posted!

Just to give you a quick understanding of what we mean, here’s a brief excerpt from our first Northbound post, Your Guide in Transition:

Just switched jobs and still adjusting? Worried that you picked the wrong major in college? Unsure of your next move? If any of that resonates, then this post is for you.

Transitions are hard. There is no handbook for how to make it in this world. If there were, we’d all be sitting pretty in a cozy corner office and spending our winters in Bali– But the truth is, we’re all just trying to find our way. Trying to figure out what we want to do, who we want to be, and how to live a life free of stress, worry, and crippling debt. But so far, for our generation, this journey has been anything but easy.

We’re dreamers, risk takers, and game changers. We’re constantly on-the-go, shuffling priorities, and chasing success, and we won’t stop until we get there. We’ve got education and technology on our side, yet we’re a growing generation of clinically depressed, stressed out, and unsatisfied. What gives?

We’d love for you to join us, on any of your profiles that could use a little bit of honesty, simplicity, and meaning!
