15+ Years
Certified Financial Planner® Specializing in Life Transitions
Designing bespoke wealth strategies to guide you through life’s defining moments.
When Life Changes,
Your Financial Plan Should Too
It’s not a matter of if you will experience a significant life change - it’s when.
Retirement. The loss of a loved one. Divorce. The sale of a business. These transitions are emotional, complex and deeply personal.
During these seasons, you deserve more than someone who simply moves your money around. You need a partner who listens and walks beside you. Someone who helps you process emotions and evaluate options to create a plan that's best for you..
Purposeful Wealth Partners uses science-backed frameworks to guide you through life’s biggest transitions with clarity, confidence and compassion.
Services Suite For Every Life Phase
Financial
Transitions
Navigate divorce, retirement, or loss with our specialized science-backed transitional methodology. It addresses the emotional and financial complexity of major life changes so you can move forward with confidence.
Investment
Management
Purpose-built investment portfolios with active risk management and rebalancing strategies that respond to major life events like retirement, inheritance or business sales.
Financial
Planning
Comprehensive financial blueprints covering cash flow, savings goals, insurance needs, and retirement projections - updated regularly as your income and life situations change.
Tax
Planning
Strategic tax optimization that goes beyond annual filing - protecting more of your wealth through transition periods when tax implications can be most costly.
Estate
Planning
Legacy protection strategies designed to reflect your values and transfer your assets to the next generation while reducing family conflict and tax burden.
Legacy Vault
Every client receives access to their own secure Legacy Vault - a private, digital “fire safe” where you can safely store essential documents like passports, birth and marriage certificates, wills and financial records. Think of it as your “just in case” resource for your loved ones, ensuring they know exactly where to find what matters most.
Behind the scenes, I also work directly with your attorneys and CPAs to keep everything organized and seamless. If needed, I can even grant your accountant direct access to tax documents - saving you the hassle of coordinating it all yourself.

The Purposeful Wealth Partners Difference
"The one you always reach out to when you need sound, truthful advice"
“I wanted someone that will listen to me as well as educate me along the way. I also believe that men and women handle financial security and planning differently and for that reason, I knew I wanted to work with a female. Our first meeting was like talking with an old friend. You know the one you always reach out to when you need sound, truthful advice.”

"I would confidently recommend her"
"Preparing for retirement brings many important choices, and it's easy to feel uncertain. MaeLauren provides clear guidance, thoughtful direction and the reassurance that nothing is overlooked. She helps me stay focused on my long-term goals rather than getting lost in the details. I would confidently recommend her to anyone navigating a major transition."
