Holistic Financial Management

Wendy McLaughlin

People who lead a holistic lifestyle often tend to neglect their financial matters—out of fear, aversion, or simply because of lack of knowledge. Yet managing and planning one’s finances for the present and the future is essential to create balance in life. If your financial life is out of order, your inner life typically tends to follow.

This two-part workshop is designed for the independent contractor, artist, yoga teacher, or anyone who feels uncomfortable with their lack of knowledge about insurance, investments, income taxes, and retirement planning. The first two-hour session, “Cash Management and Risk Management,” will explore setting realistic financial goals, making a budget, and understanding the role insurance plays in a financial plan. The second session, “Investment Planning,” will cover different types of investment risk, asset allocation, and diversification within a portfolio.

Wendy L. McLaughlin is licensed in the areas of insurance, mutual funds, and annuities. She has taken courses at the American College and has received a CLU (Chartered Life Underwriter) and ChFC (Chartered Financial Consultant), both insurance and investment-related degrees. For several years, Wendy has taught her workshop Holistic Financial Management at various companies, schools, and community centers.
