🌴✨ Sending a little Florida sunshine your way! ✨🌴
While my Connecticut crew was bundling up, I traded in my winter coat for some warm weather and a little formal-night glam at the Barron’s Advisor Women Summit. 💃😉
I spent the week surrounded by 700 amazing women who collectively manage about $1 trillion (yes… trillion!) — but the best part was feeling inspired and grateful for all of YOU back home who make what I do so meaningful. ❤️
Can’t wait to bring home the good energy, fresh ideas (and hopefully some warmth).
See you soon, CT! ❄️➡️☀️

Last week, we had the joy of gathering with our amazing clients for our annual Mystic Client Appreciation Dinner — a chance to say thank you for the trust, relationships, and community we’ve built together.
This year, we wanted our celebration to extend beyond the room… so we partnered with The Shoreline Soup Kitchen & Pantries to collect food donations for local families in need. Thanks to the generosity of our clients, we filled our donation bins and our hearts. ❤️
We are truly grateful for a community that not only supports us, but also shows up to support others. Together, we can make a difference — one meal, one act of kindness, one evening at a time.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed. We look forward to continuing to serve you and our community in meaningful ways.
✨ With gratitude,
Donna, Adam, Stephen, and Lisa
