Janet Barrett, Wealth Advisor, CHFC, CDFA

Janet Barrett, Wealth Advisor, CHFC, CDFA Investment advisory services offered through CWM, LLC, an SEC Registered Investment Advisor. Today’s women are busier than ever.

I am a Chartered Financial Consultant and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst with over 30 years of extensive experience in the financial services industry specializing in empowering women to manage their finances and wealth. Carson Partners, a division of CWM, LLC, is a nationwide partnership of advisors. I have a deep passion to help women pursue their financial goals through engagement and educ

ation in a comfortable setting. My goal is to save you time and empower you to be more intentional and organized with your money and investments. I’ll show you a clearer picture of your financial path and give you sound advice and guidance that will help enable you to make informed decisions with your money.

🔹 Why I do it: I’ve witnessed countless times where women have created their own risk by NOT getting involved with their money. MOST women will be solely responsible for their financial affairs at some point in their lives. Yet the majority of women either leave the financial/investment decisions to their spouse, are busy juggling responsibilities that they unintentionally neglect their financial priorities; or avoid their finances because they are intimidated by investments/financial jargon. These actions can put women and their families at risk of falling behind, or worse if they are suddenly left alone due to death or divorce. Having a trusted partner can help prevent the devastating effects these situations may create.

🔹 How I do it: After meeting with you to understand your objectives, values and resources, I will customize a comprehensive financial plan that will show where you are now, where you’re headed and any risk you might be facing. You will receive a plan of action to help you stay focused on your goals and better understand what it takes to work toward them. As life changes, so does your plan, we’ll meet on an agreed schedule to review and modify as needed, helping to ensure that your financial plan stays current and dynamic keeping you on track to pursue your goals.

The first half of 2026 brought an oil spike, geopolitical conflict, persistent inflation, and sharp market swings.

Even so, earnings expectations climbed, AI investment accelerated, and the S&P 500 finished the first six months up 10.2%.

Losing a spouse changes far more than your tax filing status.

Many women may also face higher tax rates, added Medicare costs, and greater responsibility for managing the family’s finances.

Planning for that possibility earlier can help you understand what may change and what decisions could be waiting ahead.

See why tax planning can become especially important after the loss of a spouse: https://bit.ly/4vnkUe5

AI is showing up in more corners of the market than many investors may realize.

Companies tied to AI drove more than half of the Russell 2000’s first-half return, even though they made up roughly a quarter of the index.

See why looking only at sector, size, or style may miss part of the AI story: https://bit.ly/44YweCD

College has a way of feeling far away until the calendar starts moving faster.

Then it’s campus visits, tuition numbers, housing costs, and real conversations about how much your family plans to cover.

Passing wealth to the next generation can sound simple.

But deciding when to do it is where things get more complicated.

Giving during your lifetime may affect control, taxes, and how ready your heirs are to manage what they receive.

Before deciding whether to give now or later, it helps to understand the tradeoffs. https://bit.ly/3HkamoE

Life insurance is not something you set once and forget.

A home, a family, a new job, or a business can all change what your coverage needs to protect.

If your life looks different than it did when you first bought a policy, it may be time to think through whether that coverage still fits. https://bit.ly/4dzHWYi

The first half of the year brought plenty of worries.

Oil prices. The Fed. The Middle East. Inflation.

Even with those concerns, stocks finished the first half in solid shape.

Now the question is what the second half could look like as consumers keep spending and inflation remains part of the picture. https://bit.ly/4y6TFa9
