KNOW YOUR FULL WEALTH - week 3

Built for the Work the Okanagan Actually Does

Nurses. Hygienists. Millwrights flying out to camp. Framers, electricians, shop owners.

This one’s for you.
Risk doesn’t show up the same way for everyone.

Nurses & dental hygienists: years of long shifts, repetitive strain, and physical demands. The toll adds up quietly, long before any diagnosis does.

Out-of-town and camp workers (mining, forestry, oil & gas): weeks away from home mean your local support system such as family, friends, and your usual routine isn’t right there if something happens.
Recovery can mean travel, lost rotations, and family carrying more at home.

Trades & small business owners: no sick days, no HR department, no benefits package behind you. If you’re not working, the business often isn’t either.

Critical illness coverage doesn’t erase these risks. It just means a diagnosis doesn’t also have to mean a financial crisis on top of everything else.

✨ Flying high into Thanksgiving with a grateful heart! 🍂

One of my biggest takeaways from Pam’s Ladies Happy Hour? I couldn’t believe how many first-time ladies joined us! ❤️

I LOVE meeting new people. The fresh energy, meaningful conversations, different perspectives, new opportunities, connections, and friendships that begin when women gather in a room together. There is something so special about it.

And to our beautiful community, THANK YOU for the warm embrace you gave every new face. You made it feel easy to walk in as a stranger and leave feeling connected. 🥂

This Thanksgiving, I’m especially grateful for this movement of friendship, connection, and celebration. Here’s to welcoming more women, making more memories, and continuing to lift each other up!

That’s the magic of Pam’s Ladies Happy Hour. 💕

WEEK 2: The Gap Most People Don’t See

If you couldn’t work for six months starting tomorrow, what would actually happen to your income?

Here’s a gap that catches many hardworking Canadians off guard.

EI sickness benefits can provide up to 55% of your average insurable weekly earnings, to a maximum of $729 per week in 2026, for up to 26 weeks.

Long-term disability insurance can help replace a portion of your income, often around 60% to 70%. But here’s what many people overlook: your benefit may not cover your full income, and bonuses or commissions may be excluded from the calculation.

That means even with coverage through work, you could still have a significant gap between what you earn and what you receive.

What about self-employed Canadians and business owners?

If you’re self-employed, you generally aren’t covered by EI sickness benefits unless you’ve opted into the program and meet its eligibility requirements. And unless you’ve arranged private disability coverage, you may have no disability income protection in place at all.

This is where the right plan matters.

For some people, that means reviewing their existing long-term disability coverage and determining whether additional protection is needed to top up the gap. For others, especially business owners and the self-employed, it may mean putting income protection in place for the first time.

Your financial plan shouldn’t just account for the future you’re working toward. It should also account for the unexpected detours along the way.

Understanding your income protection gap is one step toward building a more resilient financial future.

There’s something so special about a family sharing their beloved recipes and inviting you into their home through food.
If you’re someone who gets a little rush watching friends and family enjoy something you’ve poured your heart into, you know exactly what I mean. ❤️
That’s the experience toriwesszer of Fraîche Living : Tori Wesszer created last night at the launch of Fraîche & Simple with Sandhill.
Four stations of Tori’s recipes paired with w**e, a beautiful gift bag, Toby Tannas wonderful inteToby Tannas’s mom and dad proudly mingling and a room full of best friends, moms and daughters sharing it all.
I learned Tori poured three years of her life into this cookbook. And her love of people was just as evident. She personally signed every book, giving each person her full attention;even as the line stretched out the door.
We didn’t just leave with a cookbook. We left with a little piece of Tori’s heart to bring into our own kitchens.
Congratulations, Tori. What a beautiful evening. 🤍
To my soul sister Debra Kozma Eamon thank yoDebra Kozma Eamons beautiful experience with me💕

KNOW YOUR FULL WEALTH - week 1 of the four part series

Critical illness insurance is the insurance for living.

It’s not about what happens if you don’t make it home it’s about protecting the life you’ve worked so hard to build if you do.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

1. You’re diagnosed with a covered condition. Comprehensive policies cover 25+ conditions, from cancer and heart attack to stroke and beyond.

2. You receive a lump sum tax-free, deposited directly to you, no strings attached.

3. That money gives you choice when it matters most: for your medical care, for protecting the lifestyle you’ve worked so hard to build, and for staying on top of the bills that don’t stop while you’re not earning.

Not all critical illness contracts are built the same. When you’re comparing coverage, make sure yours includes conditions like Acquired Brain Injury and Loss of Independent Existence ; not every policy does, and those are exactly the kind of gaps that matter most.

It’s not health insurance, and it doesn’t touch your hospital bill. It’s there for everything else protecting the income, the home, and the life you’ve spent years building, while your health care is handled elsewhere.

Critical illness insurance is one of the best ways to build real confidence into your financial plan. Think of it as the seat belt you never knew you’d be so glad to have until the day you needed it.

Know your full wealth, now and in the future.

Creating Space to Listen

Last week, Dress for Success Okanagan gathered for a facilitated conversation with Denise Young of Tiger’s Eye Advisory to learn more about the steps we can take toward Truth and Reconciliation.

We sat. We listened. We asked questions. We had open conversations about what it means to move forward, one step at a time.

Creating this space and time to talk with intention brought forward areas where we can take meaningful steps toward reconciliation.

I am grateful to our Board for committing the time and to Denise for creating the space for us to listen, learn and ask questions. Now, we get to see what unfolds from the thoughts at the table to the steps we take forward together.

Written by Westbank First Nation Reconciliation is about building and maintaining respectful relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. Bringing closure to the legacy of Indian Residential Schools lies at the heart of reconciliation between Indigenous Peoples who attended these schools, their families and communities, and all Canadians.

This day we made space to listen with the intent to understand and take steps forward.

Here are four ways today to take a step toward understanding today:

• March with the Ki-Low-Na Friendship Society
Paint the town orange
• Visit the Kelowna Museums and un’learn the self-guided learning stations
• Read the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action

Thank you to Kekuli Cafe Coffee for providing the meal with the conversation.

🌕 The Mid-Autumn Festival is about coming together.

I had the privilege of attending the OCCA Mid-Autumn Festival, and I left with an even deeper appreciation for what this celebration represents.

Traditionally, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for family, reunion, gratitude and connection. The full moon represents completeness and togetherness, reminding us that even when we are separated, we are still connected under the same moon.

And I couldn’t help but see that same spirit reflected in what the OCCA does for our community.

Fei Liu and her incredible team have a remarkable gift for bringing people together. They create opportunities for our community to gather, learn, celebrate and experience cultures and traditions that may be different from our own.

They also are intentional in how they recognize and honour the leaders and community members who give so generously of their time, energy and hearts to make a difference. Something I can learn from.

And their impact goes far beyond celebration. The OCCA has demonstrated what community looks like in action, including raising more than $100,000 to support families affected by wildfires.

That is what community looks like.

It is welcoming.
It is generous.
It is curious.
It is inclusive.
It is learning from one another and making space for one another.

OCCA, you have created something really special here.

You bring people together. You celebrate our differences. You honour those who serve. And you remind us that when we come together, we become stronger and more whole.

Thank you for sharing your traditions with our community and giving all of us the opportunity to experience, learn and celebrate alongside you.

🌕 Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

May we all remember to look up at the same moon, wherever we are, and remember that we are connected.

Visiting Chilliwack? 🇬🇧🫖

You HAVE to stop by Dickens Sweets 🫖🥮🍬

My sweet Bonus Dad took me and my beautiful Bonus Mom here for her birthday, and what a wonderful afternoon it was.

My Bonus Dad was born in England, and I could see what this place means to him. For him and for so many British families, it feels a little bit like coming home.

British sweets. Groceries. Tea. Baking. Meat pies. Scones true to the original recipes. And so many of those familiar tastes and treasures that take you right back.

And then there’s the museum. It’s truly a walk down memory lane, filled with British memorabilia, vintage displays, the Royal Family, an old-fashioned English kitchen, a toy shop, a replica British pub, and the titanic room.

And of course… tea. 🫖

There’s something about sitting down over a pot of tea, sharing something delicious, and taking the time to simply talk.

Maybe that’s what I loved most about the afternoon with Mom and Dad.

Tea is more than a drink. It’s a pause in the day. A tradition that invites you to slow down, enjoy traditional food, and most importantly, enjoy the people sitting across the table from you.

Happy birthday to my beautiful Bonus Mom. Laurie Dutt❤️

You are such a gift to our family. Your love, your nurturing heart, your generosity, and the way you make people feel cared for are gifts I never take for granted.

Today was about celebrating you.

But honestly, I think I was the lucky one. ❤️

Traditions have a way of connecting us to where we came from while creating memories for where we’re going.

They remind us that some of the most meaningful things in life are the simple things we choose to keep doing together. ❤️
