About Me
Hi, I'm Lauren Williams. As a devoted mother, and the co-founder of ProsperPlan Wealth, I bring intention and compassion to everything I do. I enjoy working with most types of people, but I find it especially rewarding to work with women and with people who have experienced significant life changes, including divorce or the loss of a partner.
Resilient people are often natural caretakers. They tend to make great planning partners. They become nurses, moms, coaches, volunteers, managers, educators, leaders, doctors, and business owners. It’s no surprise that we tend to connect with people who have similar life experiences to our own.
Whether we have parallel histories, or our primary commonality is that we have your best interests at heart, and we want to see you reach your financial goals, as your advisor, I promise that I will be committed to helping you build and protect your wealth through careful planning, steadfast organization, compassion, and unwavering moral support.
Following a Family Legacy
I realized early on in life that money and finance are complex (and often emotional) subjects, and that not everyone possesses the same level of comfort navigating these topics. My journey into financial planning, and teaching financial planning courses to other advisors, was motivated by a desire to possess, and to share, the kind of knowledge and expertise that empowers people.
Like a good doctor, be it physical health, or financial health, a good financial advisor should possess empathy and the ability to clearly explain and educate you about how you are going to improve your situation. With over a decade of hands-on advisory experience, I have dedicated myself to providing specialized financial guidance to individuals, families, and the incredible team members from Kaiser Permanente.
Advising is my chosen profession, and I love it. And I make it my mission to build strong connections rooted in trust and understanding. (My #1 source of new clients is referrals from other happy clients.)
Life Outside of Work
Beyond my role as a financial advisor, my life is enriched by my passion for travel and my loving family. I have a daughter, Stella, and a husband, Ian. I derive joy from having a positive impact on my community, exploring new cultures, and empowering people around the world through personal finance. Our shared adventures are not just about discovery but also about making a positive impact.
I actively support organizations like Together Women Rise, which aims to create lasting change in vulnerable communities worldwide.
