Women, Wealth, and Wellness

Thursday, March 19 | 11:00 AM PT

Women often spend years prioritizing careers, families, and responsibilities, while their own health quietly takes a back seat. Yet as women increasingly lead households, steward wealth, and shape their financial futures, protecting personal health and well-being becomes even more essential as part of thoughtful wealth planning. Join us for a meaningful and practical conversation exploring the connection among health, longevity, and long-term financial confidence.

In this virtual Beacon Pointe Women’s Advisory Institute event, Partner and Managing Director Vanessa Burnett, CFP®, will be joined by Functional Diagnostic Nutritional® Practitioner and Hormone Health Coach, Leah Brueggemann, FDN-P, NLP, host of the Balancing Hormones Naturally podcast, and founder of the Hormone Reset Program®. Together, they will discuss how women can support lasting energy, hormonal balance, and overall vitality while planning intentionally for longevity and future healthcare needs.

This conversation will highlight how proactive health decisions, stress management, and healthcare cost planning are integrated into holistic, comprehensive wealth planning solutions at Beacon Pointe—allowing us to help women align their well-being with their long-term financial goals and build a foundation for a well-lived, well-planned life.
