I'm Marie Thomasson, CFP®, and I built Mothered to offer financial planning for women so that money supports your human experience instead of dictating it. My clients carry a lot of labels: wife, divorcee, widow, mother, daughter, or single. At Mothered, you’re more than any of them. Whether you’re planning for the next three generations or “just” yourself, we support your needs and desires fully, without judgment, and with the care you deserve. You’ve carried the weight financially and emotionally, whether you’re in the midst of figuring out the moving parts or in a place to stop and get organized. Let Mothered share the load by caring for your finances like a mother would. Mothered keeps a small client load to give each person depth of care and attention. My job is to collaborate with you to build a framework that nurtures your financial empowerment so that your will outshines the pull of fear. My clients often bring me problems that aren’t financial, and I organize a financial gameplan to dispel the fear at the root of the issue. Mothered’s services transmute your emotional responses to money so you can use it as the tool for the life you want: a life of art and culture, hotels with robes, travel, and care for your loved ones and community. Money gets to be a resource for connection and expression as well as freedom from want and security from fear. Wild, worldly matriarchs and childless cat ladies, please apply.
