StrongHER Money®

The moment your financial life changes, you deserve a plan that keeps up.

Maybe you're newly divorced. Maybe you've lost a spouse and your role has shifted overnight. Maybe an inheritance arrived along with the grief. Whatever brought you here, you're at a threshold, and the questions about money are inseparable from questions about who you are now. You don't need someone to tell you what to do. You need a partner who helps decisions feel like yours. If this season feels like a lot, you don't have to figure it out alone. Let's talk.

The Program

StrongHer Money® is an educational platform designed to help women build financial confidence and take an active role in their financial decisions, built on real conversations, not assumptions about what you already know. It's led by our Ambassadors: Chris Wedell, CFP®, CDFA®; Laura Hinton, ChFC®; and Dany Martin, MBA.

Chris Wedell, CFP®, CDFA®

Partner & Wealth Advisor · StrongHer Money® Ambassador

I became a financial advisor because I grew up in a household where money was a source of pain and tension, and I vowed to build something different: both for my own family, and for the women I work with today. As a Certified Financial Planner™, I help clients create powerful plans and make confident choices at every stage of life, from just starting out, to building wealth, to retirement and beyond. Co-founding StrongHer Money® let me turn that early experience into something useful, an educational platform built so no woman has to sit across from an advisor feeling unheard or unseen. I'm also a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®, and I specialize in helping women and their attorneys work toward settlements that are actually equitable, not just quick. I'm the mother of two active boys, Ronnie and Danny, and I call Creve Coeur, Missouri home.

Wealth Advisor · StrongHer Money® Ambassador

I became a financial advisor because my parents struggled to provide for my sister and me, and that experience pushed me toward a career built on educating others about money instead of leaving them to figure it out alone. For over 30 years, I've helped clients assess, plan for, and work toward their financial goals, with a focus on fee-based planning for executives, business owners, entrepreneurs, and other professionals. I partner with clients to clarify what they're actually working toward, then build personalized strategies for accumulating, preserving, and sustaining their wealth over the long term. Being a StrongHer Money® Ambassador matters to me because I know what it's like to grow up watching money create stress instead of security, and I want every woman I work with to feel steady, not anxious, about her own finances. Outside the office, I'm grateful for the chance to help women build that same security for the people they love.

Partner & Wealth Advisor · StrongHer Money® Ambassador

I grew up in south Louisiana, and Shreveport has felt like home ever since. When Chase, Steve, and I took over ownership of the firm in 2018, we agreed on one thing without hesitation: the relationship comes first, and it stays first. That's still the standard I hold myself to in every client relationship, one built to last, not just to close. It's part of why StrongHer Money® matters so much to me. Women deserve financial conversations that start with them, not around them, and every woman who sits down with our team should walk away knowing more than she did coming in.

How We Help

Three places we start

Financial Clarity & Confidence

A clear picture of everything you have, what each account is for, and what it would take to draw on it, explained in plain language and at your pace.

Income & Lifestyle Planning

What your money supports now and what it can support next, from the house and the career to the travel and the giving you care about.

Family & Future Coordination

Coordinating the pieces that touch the people you love, including children, aging parents, and the estate documents that make your wishes clear.

A Brighter Future

Imagine the moment you realize you have this. Not just the money. The understanding.

The plan is yours. You can explain it to your sister. You know what every account is for and what it would take to draw on it. The decisions ahead, about your home, your career, your children, your travel, your generosity, feel like decisions, not gambles. You walk into every conversation with your advisor as an equal, because the advisor you chose treats you that way. You are not "starting over." You are continuing, with clearer eyes and a steadier hand on the wheel. The next chapter is yours to write, and the financial foundation under it is one you understand and trust.

Common Questions

What we hear most often

You deserve a real answer, not reassurance. We start by building a clear picture of what you have, then walk through what it means for the life ahead, in plain language and at your pace.

You start with a conversation, not a spreadsheet. We walk through what you have today in plain language and build from there, so the pieces you didn't handle before make sense in your own words.

There's no need to decide everything at once. We help you take the right first steps to protect what's arrived, while you take the time a decision like this deserves.

That's the standard we hold ourselves to. We explain every recommendation in plain terms and welcome every question, because a plan only works if it's yours, not just ours.

We build both sides of that equation together: a plan for the people you're providing for, and a plan that keeps your own independence and goals fully in view.

That's exactly the question honest math answers. We show you what's realistic based on where you stand today, so you're making that call with clarity instead of guessing.

Let's have a real conversation about the season you're in.
