I got my start investing right in the middle of the 2008 crisis - watching client portfolios drop and learning fast what really matters. Those experiences taught me to focus on disciplined research, real risk, and income that holds up over time.

Do Money Better with OWM
The Proven Equation for Wealth
By uncovering your unique variables
we create a customized plan
Our formula incorporates a deep dive into personal history, from childhood experiences to marital milestones, to uncover unique financial patterns and values. By integrating these personal narratives with financial data, we create highly personalized plans that truly optimize wealth and well-being.
The Do Money Better Formula explained:
Step 1: Understand Your Money Story:
- This is the diagnostic and emotional foundation for all future work. We explore your financial history to identify patterns you may be repeating unconsciously and clarify what's driving your decisions. Without this level of clarity, planning will either miss the target or collapse under unspoken tension.
Step 2: Design Your Unique Plan:
- Based on your complete story, values, and true goals, we create strategies that work for your actual life. These aren't generic templates - they're built specifically for your situation and what you're really trying to achieve.
Step 3: Implement and Adjust:
- Ongoing support with regular reviews and coordination with other professionals. We adapt as your life changes and ensure your plan stays aligned with your evolving needs and circumstances.

Today, Jennifer confidently manages her own diversified portfolio with a clear 10-year plan and says:
"I went from feeling like a victim of my divorce to feeling like the architect of my future."
