The meetups will be varied in style and include connecting in breakout groups, partner and member presentations, self-care offerings, and opportunities to practice your doula approach.
About this month’s meetup:
A life-limiting diagnosis often sets off alarm bells for financial and legal professionals. There are documents to update, decisions to make, and plans to revisit. But while advisors are trained to move quickly, their clients may still be processing fear, grief, uncertainty, and change. Join Janine Cuthbertson, INELDA Membership with guest Rose Zealand, INELDA-trained End-of-Life Doula and Certified Financial Planner™, for an insider’s look at the financial planning profession’s experience of mortality and the vital role doulas play in helping clients bridge the gap between emotional readiness and practical action. The discussion will also include opportunities for collaboration and self-reflection around our own relationship with money and financial advice.
Rose Zealand is a certified financial planner, certified financial transitionist, and end-of-life doula who has built a unique practice at the intersection of money, mortality, and meaning. She serves clients throughout Colorado.
Through Golden Thread Collaborative, she supports individuals and families navigating serious illness, caregiving, aging, grief, end-of-life planning, and the many financial, logistical, emotional, and existential challenges that accompany these experiences. Her work is grounded in a simple observation: When mortality enters the conversation, every other conversation changes.
Each meetup will be held for 1 hour via Zoom and led by an INELDA team member. We will meet on the 3rd Thursday of each month.
Our hour together will include a welcome ritual, interactive activities in break-out rooms to share, and collective reflection, so come ready to engage.
