Shaping Change: A Guide to Navigating Life’s Transitions

Life doesn’t always go exactly as planned—and that’s okay. Some transitions are expected, while others take us by surprise. The key is learning to adapt and move forward with confidence. In our book, Shaping Change: How to Respond When Life Disrupts Your Retirement, we explore how to adapt to life’s unexpected shifts while maintaining financial stability and personal well-being.

At Dovetail Financial, we share this same Philosophy.

We believe that financial guidance should be human-first, helping individuals not only protect their wealth but also find clarity and peace of mind during times of change.
