Signature Moves – From Taking Care of Everyone Else to Making Room for Yourself

3 minutes

The moments that shape our lives often shape the kind of financial guidance we need beside us. And while clients may be facing those moments for the first time, our experienced advisors have helped many others through similar situations before – developing their own distinct way of guiding people through uncertainty, important decisions, and what comes next.

Signature Moves highlights those approaches, so people can more easily recognize the advisor they’ll want beside them when life happens.

Meet Kimberly O’Brien, CFP®, Wealth Advisor at Hightower Signature Wealth in Downers Grove, IL.


Kim’s Signature Move

Helping independent women create a future that reflects their priorities, supports the people they love, and still leaves room for themselves.

Who This is For

You’ve built a full life – and somewhere along the way, your personal goals may have taken a quieter role. Whatever brought you here, you’re entering a chapter that gives you an opportunity to think differently about what comes next.

  • You’re making important decisions on your own and value having a trusted community to learn from, lean on, and talk things through with
  • You’re balancing what matters to you with the many demands competing for your time and attention
  • You want your financial life to reflect more than the responsibilities you’re carrying 

You’re ready to make space for what you want – not instead of everything else, but alongside it.  

Where You Are Today

You’ve spent so much time focusing on everyone else. You’re finally starting to think about what you want next.

What You’re Going Through

For years, your attention may have been focused on work, family, or the people who have counted on you. Now you’re beginning to more intentionally consider how you want to spend your time, energy, and resources moving forward.

  • You’re starting to consider possibilities that may not have felt realistic – or necessary – in earlier chapters of life
  • You may feel pulled between supporting the people you love and investing in your own goals
  • It can be difficult to prioritize yourself after years of putting others first

The challenge isn’t choosing yourself over others. It’s making sure your future includes both.

Kim’s 3-Step Approach

  1. Give yourself permission to imagine what you want next – take time to think about what you want this chapter of life to become, and what deserves your attention
  2. Clarify your priorities – identify the people, experiences, goals, and values you want your future to reflect
  3. Build a roadmap to the future you envision – one that aligns your financial decisions with the life you’re working toward

Signature Perspective

“You don’t have to choose between supporting the people you love and creating a life you love.” – Kim O’Brien

What You’ll Experience

  • A trusted thinking partner who makes it safe to not have all the answers
  • Space to think purposefully about what you want moving forward
  • A financial plan that incorporates both your priorities and the people who matter most to you

Where You’ll Be Tomorrow

You move from wondering what’s possible to identifying what you want next – and taking meaningful steps toward it.
