It is my sincere hope that you are not attempting to do financial planning without gaining the full context of your clients.

Our guest on this next episode of Top Advisor Podcast, Abbey Henderson, has coined the phrase, “Authentic Wealth.”

In a nutshell, Authentic Wealth is bigger than just financial accumulation and management. It recognizes the interconnectedness of all aspects of life. It is created when your five key resources (Finances, Mindset, Relationships, Health, and Time) are aligned with your values and your vision. These resources are used to achieve the impact you want to have on yourself, your family, your community and the world.

Everyone – advisors and their clients – should consider embracing and using this concept of Authentic Wealth.

In this episode, Referral Coach Bill Cates interviews Abbey Henderson, CFP®, CEO, Wealth Advisor & Coach, Abaris Financial Group. Abbey explains her holistic approach to financial planning that integrates life coaching.

Discover the success behind Abbey’s “Five Lever Friday” newsletter, offering weekly insights into improving various aspects of life. They also explore the role of podcasting in building authentic connections with Abbey’s audience, serving as a powerful referral tool.

Bill and Abbey discuss:

Abbey’s model of Authentic Wealth
How Abbey’s holistic approach has made her more referable and helped her accelerate the growth of her business.
Her decision to become a Certified Life Planner and Certified Life Coach and how it has added results-producing depth to her financial planning.
Common limiting beliefs and mistaken assumptions around money and how she helps clients overcome their ability to sabotage results.
Her decision to start a podcast, the initial hesitations, and the role of ProudMouth in helping her launch the podcast.
How podcasting serves as a tool to create more referrals, while helping build trust and credibility with clients/prospects – even before the first meeting.
…And more!
