Apricity Financial Planning

Hi friends 💛
With so many new faces here and lots happening behind the scenes, it feels like the right moment to (re)introduce Apricity Financial Planning.

When I launched Apricity in July 2023, my vision was to serve Ohio’s educators. That work is still very close to my heart (I get you!), and about half of my clients are current or former educators.

At the same time, both Apricity and I have grown since then.

What I’ve come to understand is that my real specialty isn’t just knowing pension systems or financial rules (though those matter). It’s working with women who’ve been told, or who have told themselves, that they’re “not good with money,” and helping them rebuild confidence by seeing what they’ve already done well and how their money can better support the life they are building.

From a client perspective, not much is changing. I still offer holistic financial planning paired with investment management. What has shifted is clarity around who I serve best: women who are ready to take an honest look at their finances and want more confidence, alignment, and ease around money.

A newly revamped website that reflects this vision is coming very soon (hopefully next week!). But for now, I’m just really glad you’re here.

Reaching out to a financial planner can feel vulnerable, so let's get to know one another first.

➡️ If you haven’t already, follow the Apricity page

✨ The first step to financial clarity is knowing where you are today. ✨

💰🧘🏻‍♀️Day #1 of the Mindful Money Challenge!

✍️ This is a journal challenge ✍️

How it works:

Each day we will draw 2 cards from my Girls Gone Happy money deck. The intention behind these cards is to inspire thought- deep thought.

To participate in the challenge, set aside some time for yourself to journey through what was ignited in you when you read these cards.

Please note:

There is no right or wrong way to journal. Find a notebook or piece of paper and let your mind, heart, and soul flow into the paper.

Here are some ideas for setting up your space before you begin (again, all optional, there is no right or wrong way to journal):

🕯️ Light a candle, turn on a diffuser, or find any way to fill the space with a beautiful aroma
🎶 Turn on some music or sounds that allow you to focus (not usually the same ones that make you want to dance)
💡 Dim the lights or use only sunlight or a lamp instead of LEDs or bright white lights
🌳 All of these things can often be accomplished simultaneously (along with many other benefits) if you are able to journal outside.

TODAY’S CHALLENGE: Day #1

Topic: Giving

Question: What are the biggest differences between where you are right now, and where you want to be? What cause of these differences lies within you? What cause lies outside of yourself? What can you do with these insights?

✍️ If you feel led to share anything that came up for you, I would love for you to share in the comments. When you give your thoughts voice, you give them power, so share thoughtfully and intentionally.

A reminder from Patrice C. Washington: The original definition of wealth isn’t about money or material things, it’s about well-being and happiness. 💛
