Financial Wellness for:

Alternative Living

The Regenerative Community

What is financial wellness?

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed or confused about your financial situation, you’re not alone. Many of us were never taught how to engage with our finances in a way that is true to us. Instead we were taught that our net- worth is our value, and that we should have the right degree, career, home and possessions in order to have financial wellness.

But here’s the truth: Financial Wellness is deeply personal and has more to do with our perception of our lives than the square feet in our home or dollars in our bank account.

That’s why Laura Lynch, CFP®, offers the free Financial Wellness Calculator through Savology — a simple yet powerful tool designed to change the way you see your finances, so you can take confident steps toward your intentional life.

My Financial Wellness story

I grew up at the foot of the mountains in rural Virginia. My intuitive belief was that the oak trees talked to each other. Like so many, I left my home-land “in search of more”. I learned financial lessons through my own mistakes but never felt financially safe no matter how hard I worked. I found that a big salary and hoarding of resources doesn’t create financial wellness.

In 2024 after 3 decades of financial anxiety and misalignment, while striving for the American Dream, my husband and I downsized from our 2300 to our 300 square foot tiny home and moved debt-free to our land in Northern NM. I suddenly felt the breathing room needed to explore my life’s purpose.

While driving 2000 miles West to our new rural life, intentionally designed to be closer to the earth and our values, I binged the Regeneration Rising podcast and began to listen to my call back to the land. I deeply understood that the practices of those working with nature to improve soil, land, food and our rural communities are critical to our survival and our humanity. I wanted in. So we bought 40 acres of land in the San Luis Valley to practice land stewardship and contribution to community.

I now see my financial wellness as foundational to my mental and psychological freedom to serve with my fully integrated self. I had to leave The American Dream behind with it’s mandate of corporate achievement, more at all costs, and self-abandonment and return to my deep truth. By being in nature, taking care of self and others, caring for animals and the earth, and bringing all our skills, passions and rhythms to our work we can regenerate ourselves and our ecosystem.

If you want to make small changes, change the way you do things. If you want to make major changes, change the way you see things.
