Are you looking for a financial professional who gets what you’re going through?

In the past 10+ years I’ve changed careers, moved across the country, lost a parent, gotten divorced, and started a business twice! And that doesn’t even include the mental and physical changes brought on by middle age.

I originally started Inspiration Financial Planning in Illinois in 2015 (as Nannette Kamien) - with no experience, as a career-changer, with two little kids at home. I had no credentials either (I was half-way through the CFP® coursework). But I knew that it was what I was meant to do.

I’m not your typical financial advisor or financial planner. You’ll never see me in a suit, and I don’t own a fancy desk. I came to this career later in life because I was sick of the corporate hamster wheel.

I have always done work that allows me to combine my love of numbers, technology, and people. Owning my financial planning firm is truly a dream come true for me!

I LOVE what I do. I thrive with the opportunity to dive into the numbers while also discussing your fears and concerns. I don’t come from money - my parents got divorced when I was 7 and my mom went back to school to become a teacher.

My past experiences allow me to approach each client relationship with empathy and curiosity. Everyone has their own unique financial story and background that has brought them to where they are today. The past does not define them, but it does inform our work together. We can work together to create the present and future of your dreams.
