SUMMARY:West County Chapter Meeting - The Power of Purpose: Unlocking Financial and Personal Wellness
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \nGUEST SPEAKER: Lisa Avenevoli\, CFP®\nTOPIC: The Power of Purpose: Unlocking Financial and Personal Wellness \nWHERE: ll Bel Lago – 11631 Olive Blvd. St. Louis\, MO 63141\nWHEN: Thursday\, April 17\, 2025 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST\nGrowing up\, Lisa’s parents made countless sacrifices to ensure she and her siblings experienced a life rich in love\, faith\, and adventure. Family vacations\, birthday celebrations\, extracurricular activities\, and our unwavering Saturday evening tradition of attending mass (no matter how hard they tried to dodge it!) were the cornerstones of her childhood. \nDespite the hardships they faced\, Lisa’s parents mastered the delicate balance of hard work\, living within their means\, and enjoying life. Yet\, Lisa was acutely aware of the toll that years of night shifts and relentless labor took on them. \nLife as Lisa and her family knew it changed forever a few months after her mom’s 60th birthday. With no prior health issues and plans to retire alongside her dad\, Lisa’s mom’s unexpected diagnosis of leukemia was life-shattering. Over a grueling 2.5-year battle\, medical bills mounted\, forcing Lisa’s dad to postpone his retirement. Lisa’s dad finally stepped away from work just three months before her mom passed. \nThese experiences profoundly shaped Lisa’s path. Leaning on her faith\, she realized that her upbringing and the lessons learned during those difficult times led her to establish ARK and use her years of experience as a financial planner in a more meaningful\, impactful way. Lisa’s parents instilled an undeniable work ethic\, the value of money management and taught her to cherish what truly matters in life. The stark reminder that life is fleeting drives Lisa’s commitment to helping others embrace each moment. \nAs a financial advisor and founder of ARK\, Lisa’s mission is clear: to help clients understand their financial landscapes so they can focus on what truly matters—nurturing their families\, pursuing meaningful careers\, and living fully in the present. Lisa’s goal is to empower clients to navigate their financial journeys with confidence\, knowing they can achieve more than they ever thought possible. \nLife will always be complicated\, but with the right guidance and planning\, we can find happiness in the here and now. After all\, it’s about creating a purpose-driven life—balancing the importance of saving for the future with the joy of living for today. \nThis interactive session will focus on understanding the connection between defining your purpose and values to attain financial (and overall) wellness. We’ll do exercises to help you understand your money mindset and how this affects your financial decisions and\, in turn\, your ability to reach goals (and why your mindset is likely VERY different than your spouse!). \nWe’ll discuss how to get out of your own way\, and the importance of “knowing what you don’t know” to make your money work best for you. \nFinally\, you’ll walk away with some actionable steps you can implement today to begin maximizing your money and turning your hard-earned dollars into a meaningful experience without feeling guilty\, and without going into debt! \nThe shame and guilt around money is real – even for those who seem to “have plenty of it”.

If you have workplace drama\, I’ll sift through it like a detective solving a juicy mystery novel. \nRecovering Attorney: In my past life\, I proudly bore the title of attorney\, battling it out in courtrooms and boardrooms. But I’ve seen the light! I’ve transitioned to a new\, exciting phase in my life. Now\, I help others navigate the legal landscape\, steering them clear of the pitfalls and landmines I once braved. Consider me your legal guide through the treacherous terrain\, having survived the trenches and emerged wiser and\, dare I say\, with a slightly more humorous outlook on life. \nMom of Four: But wait\, there’s more! In my superhero cape (or\, more accurately\, my “Mom jeans”)\, I wrangle not one\, not two\, but four mini-humans who insist on calling me “Mom”. They’ve taught me more about negotiation and diplomacy than any law school ever could. Globetrotting Foodie: When I’m not arguing cases or parenting\, I’m jet-setting around the globe in search of the world’s most delectable delicacies. My passport might as well be a food journal with stamps\, and my heart belongs to every street food vendor\, Michelin-starred restaurant\, and hole-in-the-wall eatery. \nProudly Neurodivergent: Beneath it all\, I’m a neurodivergent warrior. My brain works in wonderfully unique ways\, and I embrace it with open arms. Think of me as the Picasso of thinking\, with a canvas of brilliant ideas that might zigzag\, swirl\, or loop-de-loop – but always with a dash of brilliance. So basically\, in my multifaceted world\, I’m a legal luminary turned legal guide\, an HR sorcerer\, a mom to a formidable quartet\, a global epicurean explorer\, a neurodivergent pioneer\, and a \nrecovering attorney with tales to tell and wisdom to share![/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nContact this Speaker Directly:\nA Leslie Tolliver: Human Resources Consultant at The Phoenix Group STL\nEmail: thephoenixgroupstl@outlook.com \nPhone Number: 13145563747[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nAll chapter meetings are FREE for anyone to attend.  YES!  You read that right. \n\n(We just ask that if a chapter meeting is at a restaurant location\, that you purchase a meal to support the location that is so graciously hosting our event.
