Elise Levy, MBA - Legacy Wealth Planning

If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t want all my eggs in one basket,” this episode is for you.

In this episode, we’re talking about why diversifying your income is less about “doing more” and more about creating stability, flexibility, and options. Because relying on one paycheck — even a good one — can quietly create pressure.

Holly and I are sharing how to think about active, passive, and leveraged income in a practical way, how to start small without burning yourself out, and why building multiple streams is really about protecting your peace long-term.

This isn’t about hustle culture. It’s about strategy. Let’s build in a way that supports the life you actually want.

People assume because I’m a financial advisor, I follow a perfect budget and know every single charge on my credit card statement. WRONG.

I am just like everybody else, I HATE looking at my spending habits, it is the worst. But it is a necessary evil.

Last year I started the habit of looking at my reoccurring charges/subscriptions every quarter. That way it wasn’t too overwhelming and I could actually feel productive. Well today was the day!

And what a day, I canceled one already, and lowered two others just by calling and haggling 😂

Anyways, how often do you look at your subscription list? Or credit card statement? Or do you avoid it like the plague?

We’re continuing our Decades mini-series with one of the most emotionally complex chapters: the sandwich generation.

In our latest episode, we unpack the real financial realities of supporting kids and aging parents—planning for college, thinking about long-term care, setting boundaries without guilt, and making sure your own retirement doesn’t get sidelined.

This stage of life requires clarity, compassion, and a plan. If you’re juggling it all and wondering how to make it work, this episode is for you. You’re not alone—and you’re not doing it wrong.

In 2016, I was still finishing my Biology degree, ready to become an Ecologist, rocking a nose ring, and thinking rum & cokes were “sophisticated”.

I love that version of me just as much as the me I am now… the only thing I’d change? Make that hipster self invest in a Roth IRA every single month.

We’re rolling into the next chapter of our Decades mini-series and heading straight into your 20s—the era of “real life,” real paychecks, and really big money decisions. In this episode, we’re diving into what it looks like to build a financial foundation that actually supports the life you’re creating: budgeting without the burnout, tackling debt with strategy (not shame), and starting to invest even if you’re convinced you “don’t make enough yet.”

Your 20s are where confidence meets responsibility—but don’t worry, we’re keeping it fun, practical, and judgment-free. Whether you’re out on your own for the first time, navigating your career, or figuring out how to balance brunch, bills, and big goals, this episode gives you the clarity and tools to make money moves that matter.

Let’s make your 20s the decade where you stop guessing and start growing—financially, personally, and everything in between.

In this episode of our Career Series, we’re turning the spotlight on stay-at-home moms—the CEOs of their households and the unsung heroes of the economy.

⛳ Women are increasingly stepping onto the green—and into the world of financial empowerment.

As a lifelong golfer, I’ve loved watching more women embrace the sport. It also got me thinking about how golf and financial planning share a lot in common.

Since 2019, the number of female golfers has surged by 2.3 million—a 41% jump—reaching nearly 8 million. Women now make up 28% of on-course players, the highest share ever recorded (National Golf Foundation).

At the same time, about 57% of women in the U.S. work with a financial advisor, showing a growing commitment to building wealth and making informed money decisions (American Century Investments).

Just like a great caddie, a trusted financial advisor reads the course, helps you choose the right approach, and keeps you on track toward your goals. Whether you’re teeing off or growing your wealth, success comes from guidance, planning, and knowing your fairway.

In both golf and finances, it’s not just about the swing—it’s about the game plan.

Let’s go hit the range and talk through your current game—on the course and for your financial future.
