⸻

Q2: What is Legacy 360, and why did you start it?

A: Legacy 360 isn’t just a business—it’s a movement to help families create financial security, generational wealth, and a life of purpose.

I started it because I saw too many people struggling—moms worrying about money, families unsure how to prepare for the future, and Christians wanting to build wealth the right way but not knowing how. I wanted to change that by giving people simple, faith-based strategies to protect their families, grow their money, and step into God’s plan for them.

⸻

Q3: I don’t know much about life insurance, annuities, or wealth-building. Where do I start?

A: The best place to start is figuring out what’s most important to you right now.

• Want to protect your family? → Life insurance with Living Benefits

• Want to build wealth over time? → Whole Life or Indexed Universal Life (IUL)

• Want guaranteed retirement income? → Annuities

• Want to save for your child’s future? → Whole Life savings plans for kids

• Want to get your money in order? → Faith-driven financial coaching

Wherever you are, I’ll help you create a plan that works for your goals.

⸻

🟢 Life Insurance with Living Benefits

Q4: What are living benefits, and why do they matter?

A: Most people think life insurance is just for after you pass away, but Living Benefits let you access your policy while you’re still alive. If you get diagnosed with cancer, have a heart attack, have a stroke, or have another serious illness, you can use your life insurance money to cover expenses, pay medical bills, or replace lost income.

It’s like having a financial safety net that protects you and your family no matter what.

⸻

Q5: I’m young and healthy. Do I really need life insurance?

A: This is actually the best time to get it! The younger and healthier you are, the cheaper it is, and once you lock in your rate, it never goes up.

Also, if you choose a Whole Life policy, you’re not just getting protection—you’re building savings that grow over time. You can use that money later for anything—buying a home, investing, or retirement.

⸻

Q6: How much life insurance do I need?

A: That depends on a few things, like:

• Your income and how much your family depends on you

• Any debts, like a mortgage or student loans

• What you want to leave behind for your kids or spouse

A common rule is 10-12 times your annual income, but everyone’s situation is different. Let’s talk and figure out what makes the most sense for you.

⸻

🟢 Whole Life vs. Indexed Universal Life (IUL) and Cash Value Growth

Q7: What’s the difference between Whole Life and Indexed Universal Life (IUL)?

A: Both Whole Life and IUL build cash value, but they work differently:

• Whole Life → Guaranteed, steady growth. You know exactly how much your money will grow, and you can borrow against it anytime.

• IUL → Growth depends on the stock market (without the risk of losing money). It has more flexibility but can go up and down.

If you want something safe and predictable, Whole Life is usually the best choice. If you want higher growth potential, IUL might be better.

⸻

Q8: Can life insurance really help me build wealth?

A: Yes! Whole Life and IUL policies build tax-free cash value that grows over time. You can use this money for:

• Buying a home

• Funding a business

• Sending your kids to college

• Supplementing retirement

Unlike a 401(k) or Roth IRA, you’re not limited in how much you can contribute, and you can access your money without penalties.

⸻

🟢 Saving for Children’s Future

Q9: What’s the best way to save for my child’s future?

A: Most parents think 529 plans are the only option, but they have a big downside—you can only use the money for college.

A Whole Life policy for kids is a better option because:

✔ It builds cash value they can use for anything (not just school)

✔ The money grows tax-free

✔ They can use it for buying a house, starting a business, or making investments

✔ They’ll have life insurance protection for life

It’s the smartest way to set your child up for financial success.

⸻

🟢 Annuities & Retirement Planning

Q10: What is an annuity, and how does it work?

A: An annuity is like giving yourself a paycheck for life. You put money in, and later on, it pays you guaranteed income every month for the rest of your life—no matter how long you live.

Unlike a 401(k) or IRA, you never have to worry about running out of money.

⸻

Q11: Why should I consider an annuity instead of just a 401(k)?

A: The problem with a 401(k) is that it can run out. An annuity never runs out because it keeps paying you even if you live to 100. Plus, it’s safe from stock market crashes.

⸻

Q12: Can I roll my 401(k) into an annuity?

A: Yes! You can move your 401(k), IRA, or even cash savings into an annuity without paying taxes. This protects your money and guarantees lifetime income.

⸻

🟢 Faith-Driven Money Coaching

Q13: What does “wealth the Kingdom way” mean?

A: It means building financial security without fear, greed, or stress—and using money as a tool to honor God and bless your family. Instead of chasing wealth, you learn how to:

• Steward money wisely so it grows

• Give generously without fear

• Break free from financial struggles so you can focus on your calling

It’s about creating wealth with wisdom, faith, and purpose.

Q14: What makes Whole Life insurance different from other types of life insurance?

A: Whole Life insurance does two things: it protects your family for life and grows cash value you can use while you’re alive. Unlike Term Life insurance, which expires after a set number of years, Whole Life insurance never expires as long as you keep paying. Plus, the cash value grows at a guaranteed rate, so you always know your money is growing.

⸻

Q15: How does the cash value in Whole Life work?

A: Think of it as a savings account inside your life insurance. Every time you make a payment, a portion of it builds cash value. Over time, that money grows, and you can borrow against it tax-free for things like buying a home, funding a business, or supplementing retirement.

⸻

Q16: What if I want life insurance but don’t want to commit to Whole Life?

A: If you’re looking for affordable coverage but don’t need cash value, Term Life might be better for you. Some people start with Term and later convert to Whole Life once their finances grow. The good news? You don’t have to choose alone—I can help you figure out what makes sense for you.

⸻

🟢 Term Life Insurance & Affordable Protection

Q17: Who should consider Term Life insurance?

A: If you want a low-cost way to protect your family for a specific time, Term Life is a great option. It’s perfect for:

• Parents with young kids who want coverage until their children are grown

• Homeowners who want coverage while paying off a mortgage

• Anyone looking for temporary coverage at the lowest cost

⸻

Q18: What happens if I outlive my Term Life policy?

A: Your coverage will end, but some policies let you convert to Whole Life without another health exam. That means you can keep coverage and start building cash value without reapplying.

⸻

Q19: Should I get Term Life or Whole Life?

A: It depends on your goals:

• If you just want temporary coverage at a lower cost, Term Life is a good choice.

• If you want lifelong coverage and tax-free savings, Whole Life is better.

Not sure? We can chat and figure out what works best for you.

⸻

🟢 Living Benefits – Protecting You While You’re Alive

Q20: What are Living Benefits, and how do they work?

A: Living Benefits let you use your life insurance money if you get seriously ill. If you have a heart attack, stroke, cancer, or another major illness, you can access part of your policy while you’re alive to cover medical bills, lost income, or anything else you need.

⸻

Q21: Are living Benefits something extra I have to pay for?

A: Not always! Some policies include it automatically, while others offer it as an add-on. Many people don’t realize they already have access to Living Benefits in their policy. If you’re not sure, I can review your current coverage and help you find out.

⸻

Q22: What types of illnesses qualify for Living Benefits?

A: Every policy is different, but most cover:

• Heart attacks and strokes

• Cancer diagnosis

• Organ failure or severe chronic illness

• Critical injuries, like major burns or paralysis

If you’re ever in a situation where you can’t work or need extra financial help, Living Benefits give you a lifeline without having to go into debt.

⸻

🟢 Saving for Children’s Future

Q23: What’s the best way to save for my child’s future?

A: A lot of people think of 529 plans, but those can only be used for college. A Whole Life policy for kids is a more flexible way to save because:

• The money can be used for anything—college, a first home, or a business

• It grows tax-free and can be borrowed against anytime

• It also locks in low life insurance rates for them while they’re young

This gives your child a financial head start in life, no matter what path they choose.

⸻

Q24: Can my child access their Whole Life savings before they turn 18?

A: Yes! You, as the parent, control the policy until they reach adulthood. If you need funds for your child’s education, a business idea, or even to help them buy their first car, you can borrow against the cash value at any time.

⸻

🟢 Annuities & Retirement Planning

Q25: What is an annuity, and how does it work?

A: An annuity is a way to guarantee you’ll never run out of money in retirement. You put money in now, and later, it pays you a steady income for the rest of your life—like creating your own pension.

⸻

Q26: How does an annuity compare to a 401(k)?

A: The difference is in guaranteed income:

• A 401(k) can run out if the market drops or if you withdraw too much

• An annuity never runs out—it keeps paying you no matter how long you live

It’s a great way to ensure you have a consistent income stream in retirement.

⸻

Q27: Can I roll over my 401(k) into an annuity?

A: Yes! You can transfer your 401(k), IRA, or savings into a tax-free annuity so your money is protected and you have a guaranteed income for life.

⸻

🟢 Faith-Driven Money Coaching & Business Growth

Q28: What does it mean to build wealth the Kingdom way?

A: It means managing money with faith, wisdom, and purpose—not stress or fear. Instead of chasing wealth, we focus on:

✔ Stewarding money wisely so it grows

✔ Giving generously without worrying about lack

✔ Creating financial peace so you can focus on your God-given calling

Wealth isn’t about how much you have—it’s about how you manage it and who you impact.

⸻

Q29: I want to start a business but don’t know where to begin. Can you help?

A: Absolutely! I work with moms and families to build businesses that align with their calling. Whether you want to:

• Start a coaching business

• Sell products or services online

• Turn your passion into a side hustle

I help you create a strategy that works for your lifestyle and goals.

⸻

Q30: How can I turn my passion into income?

A: The first step is identifying what you love doing and how to monetize it. Some ways include:

• Teaching others → Start coaching or a course

• Selling physical or digital products → Online store or printables

• Working from home → A flexible business model that fits your family

I help faith-driven moms and families turn their God-given gifts into financial success.

Q31: What does it mean to manage money the “Kingdom way”?

A: Managing money the Kingdom way means handling your finances with faith, wisdom, and purpose—not fear or stress. It’s about:

✔ Being a good steward of what God has given you

✔ Building wealth with integrity instead of chasing quick fixes

✔ Creating financial peace so you can focus on your true calling

✔ Giving generously and trusting that God will provide

Wealth is a tool, and when managed wisely, it allows you to bless your family, impact others, and leave a legacy that honors God.

⸻

Q32: What are some common money mistakes Christians make?

A: Some of the biggest mistakes I see are:

• Thinking wealth is bad instead of seeing it as a tool for good

• Not having a clear plan and just hoping things work out

• Relying on prayer alone but not taking action (faith + works = results!)

• Overspending and not budgeting wisely

• Avoiding financial education because it feels overwhelming

God calls us to be wise stewards, and that means learning, planning, and making financial decisions with intention.

⸻

Q33: How can I break free from a “scarcity mindset” when it comes to money?

A: A scarcity mindset makes you feel like there’s never enough, but that’s not how God works. To shift into an abundance mindset, start by:

✔ Shifting your language—Instead of saying, “I can’t afford this,” ask, “How can I create the money for this?”

✔ Practicing generosity—The more you give, the more you activate abundance

✔ Learning financial wisdom—When you understand how money works, fear disappears

✔ Surrounding yourself with people who think bigger—Your mindset is shaped by who you listen to

When you trust that God is your provider and you take intentional financial steps, you’ll see more opportunities open up.

⸻

🟢 Business Growth & Entrepreneurial Success

Q34: I want to start a business, but I have no idea where to begin. Can you help?

A: Absolutely! Starting a business is about finding what you love and turning it into a way to serve others. Here’s where to start:

✔ Identify your passion—What are you naturally good at?

✔ Find a problem you can solve—People pay for solutions

✔ Choose a business model—Coaching? Selling products? A service-based business?

✔ Start small and take action—You don’t need everything figured out to begin

I help faith-driven entrepreneurs create businesses that align with their calling and bring financial freedom without sacrificing family or faith.

⸻

Q35: How can I make money online without sacrificing my family time?

A: The key is building a business that works for you, not one that runs your life. Some great ways to generate income online while keeping a balance include:

✔ Selling digital products (courses, e-books, templates)

✔ Offering coaching or consulting (work fewer hours, earn more impact)

✔ Building a community or membership model (helping others on a larger scale)

✔ Creating automated systems so you’re not glued to your phone

The goal is to create a sustainable, profitable business that allows you to serve while still having time for what matters most.

⸻

Q36: I have a business, but I’m struggling to get clients. What should I do?

A: The biggest mistake business owners make is focusing too much on what they sell instead of who they help. To attract more clients:

✔ Speak directly to your audience’s pain points—What problem are they facing?

✔ Offer free value first—A guide, a webinar, or helpful content builds trust

✔ Use social media intentionally—Be where your audience is, and engage with them

✔ Follow up consistently—Most people need to hear from you multiple times before they buy

When you shift your focus to serving instead of selling, you’ll naturally attract more people.

⸻

🟢 Generational Wealth & Smart Savings Strategies

Q37: What’s the best way to build generational wealth?

A: Generational wealth is about more than just money—it’s about creating a financial foundation that lasts beyond you. The best ways to do this include:

✔ Building assets—Owning things that grow in value over time

✔ Teaching financial wisdom to your kids so they don’t start from zero

✔ Having a clear plan for wealth transfer so your family is set up for success

✔ Using tax-advantaged savings strategies to grow money without losing it to unnecessary taxes

When you create a plan that goes beyond just your lifetime, you’re ensuring that your children and future generations will have financial stability and freedom.

⸻

Q38: How can I teach my kids about money from a young age?

A: Teaching kids financial wisdom early helps them build strong money habits for life. Some great ways to start:

✔ Use the “Save, Give, Spend” method—Teach them to divide their money into savings, generosity, and spending

✔ Give them opportunities to earn money—Through chores, selling things, or small entrepreneurial projects

✔ Talk openly about finances—Make money conversations normal, not stressful

✔ Teach them about long-term savings—Help them understand why it’s important to think beyond today

When kids learn how to handle money wisely early on, they make smarter financial choices as adults.

⸻

🟢 Smart Financial Planning & Freedom from Debt

Q39: I feel overwhelmed by debt. Where do I start?

A: The key is a simple, step-by-step plan:

1️⃣ Stop adding more debt—Pause unnecessary spending

2️⃣ Organize what you owe—List all your debts from smallest to largest

3️⃣ Focus on eliminating high-interest debt first—Credit cards usually have the highest rates

4️⃣ Look for ways to increase income—A side hustle, freelance work, or selling items

5️⃣ Create a long-term plan to build financial stability so you never have to go back into debt

Being debt-free isn’t just about paying off what you owe—it’s about building financial peace for your future.

⸻

Q40: What’s the smartest way to grow my savings?

A: The best way to grow your savings is to have a strategy that protects your money while allowing it to grow. Some key steps include:

✔ Setting aside a percentage of income automatically—Make saving a habit

✔ Using tax-advantaged savings tools to maximize your growth

✔ Diversifying where your money is stored—So all your wealth isn’t in one place

✔ Finding ways to grow your money without high risk

The key is to be intentional, think long-term, and use strategies that align with your financial goals.

⸻

Q41: How do I start building financial security if I’m just getting started?

A: The most important step is taking action. You don’t have to know everything to begin, but you do need a plan. Here’s where to start:

✔ Understand your current financial situation—Know where your money is going

✔ Create a budget that aligns with your goals—So you’re in control, not just reacting

✔ Start saving regularly, even if it’s small—Consistency is more important than amount

✔ Learn financial principles that help you grow and protect your wealth

Building financial security is about small, consistent steps over time—not overnight success. When you have a clear plan and make wise choices, you’ll see growth.

Q42: I feel like I was created for more, but I don’t know what my purpose is. Where do I start?

A: Your purpose isn’t something you randomly stumble upon—it’s something God placed inside you from the beginning. To start discovering it:

✔ Look at what comes naturally to you—What do people ask for your advice on?

✔ Think about what excites you—What could you talk about for hours?

✔ Pay attention to what breaks your heart—Oftentimes, our purpose is connected to what we feel called to change

✔ Seek God in prayer—Ask Him to reveal His plan for you

Your purpose is already inside you—it’s just waiting to be uncovered.

⸻

Q43: How do I know if something is part of my calling or just a random idea?

A: A true calling has three key signs:

1️⃣ It aligns with your God-given gifts—You don’t have to force it; it flows naturally

2️⃣ It serves others—Your purpose is never just about you; it impacts others

3️⃣ It brings peace, even when it’s hard. Even in challenges, you feel a deep sense that this is what you were meant to do

If an idea excites you but doesn’t align with these, it might just be a passing interest. If it keeps coming back, impacting people, and growing inside you, it’s likely part of your purpose.

⸻

Q44: Can I have more than one calling?

A: Yes! God often calls us to different assignments in different seasons. Your core purpose stays the same, but how you live it out can change. You might be called to:

• Teach and mentor people in one season

• Start a business in another season

• Raise a strong, faith-filled family while doing both

Don’t feel pressured to fit into one box. Your calling is a journey, not a single destination.

⸻

Q45: I feel stuck in life and don’t know what I’m supposed to do. What should I do?

A: Feeling stuck often means you’re waiting for clarity before taking action. But the truth is, clarity comes from movement, not sitting still.

✔ Take a step, even if it’s small—Start learning, serving, or creating

✔ Surround yourself with purpose-driven people—Your environment shapes your growth

✔ Spend time with God in stillness—Sometimes, we’re too busy to hear what He’s been saying all along

You don’t have to have the full picture to start. Just take the next right step, and the path will unfold.

⸻

🟢 Overcoming Fear & Doubt on the Journey to Purpose

Q46: What if I’m afraid to step into my calling?

A: Fear is a sign that what you’re about to do matters. Every great leader in the Bible—Moses, Esther, Joshua—felt fear before stepping into their calling.

✔ Fear is normal, but obedience is key—You don’t have to feel ready; you just have to be willing

✔ Take action despite fear—Confidence grows through doing

✔ Trust God’s process—If He called you, He will equip you

The enemy attacks what is valuable. If you feel fear, it means your calling is powerful. Walk in faith anyway.

⸻

Q47: What if I fail? What if I step into something and realize it’s not for me?

A: Failure isn’t the opposite of success—it’s part of the journey. Every great leader, entrepreneur, and speaker has failed multiple times before succeeding.

✔ Failure teaches you what works and what doesn’t

✔ You won’t know unless you try—If you stay in fear, you’ll never move forward

✔ God can redirect you—If something isn’t right, He will shift your steps

You’re not supposed to have it all figured out before you start. Just start, and trust that God will guide you as you go.

⸻

🟢 Public Speaking & Helping Others Through My Message

Q48: How can public speaking help me grow in my calling?

A: Speaking is one of the most powerful ways to teach, inspire, and lead people into their purpose. When you speak:

✔ You share what God has placed in you—Your testimony has impact

✔ You connect with others on a deeper level—People remember stories, not just information

✔ You multiply your reach—One message can change hundreds or even thousands of lives

If you feel called to share your message, don’t let fear hold you back—your voice is needed.

⸻

Q49: How can I become a better speaker and communicator?

A: Whether you’re speaking on a stage, in a small group, or online, here’s how to grow:

✔ Practice telling stories—People connect with real-life experiences

✔ Speak from the heart, not just the head—People feel authenticity

✔ Learn from great speakers—Watch people like Myles Munroe, Priscilla Shirer, or other powerful communicators

✔ Start small and grow—Begin in Bible studies, social media, or community events

The best speakers don’t start perfect—they start willing.

⸻

Q50: What if I feel like I don’t have the confidence to speak in front of people?

A: Confidence isn’t something you wait for—it’s something you build.

✔ Start where you are—Even small conversations prepare you for bigger moments

✔ Shift the focus—It’s not about you, it’s about helping others

✔ Know that nerves are normal—Even seasoned speakers feel nervous

The more you step out, the more natural it will become.

⸻

Q51: What message do I have that people need to hear?

A: Everyone has a message—it’s just a matter of recognizing it. Ask yourself:

✔ What struggles have I overcome?

✔ What wisdom has God placed in me?

✔ What lessons would I share with my younger self?

Your message doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to be authentic. The things you’ve been through weren’t just for you; they’re meant to help someone else.

⸻

🟢 How I Help Others Step Into Their Purpose

Q52: How can you help me find my purpose and step into my calling?

A: I guide people through the exact process I walked through myself—from confusion to clarity, from fear to confidence. Here’s how I help:

✔ Helping you discover your unique gifts and talents

✔ Teaching you practical ways to step into your purpose

✔ Helping you build a faith-driven business if that’s part of your calling

✔ Encouraging and mentoring you through the mindset shifts needed to grow

You don’t have to figure it out alone. I’m here to help you move from where you are to where God is calling you to be.

⸻

Q53: What kind of people do you help?

A: I work with people who know they are called to more but feel stuck or unsure of their next steps.

✔ Women who want to live with greater purpose

✔ Moms who want to raise strong, faith-filled children while also growing in their own calling

✔ Entrepreneurs who want to align their business with faith and impact

✔ Anyone who feels like they are meant for bigger things but don’t know where to start

If you’ve ever felt like there’s more inside you waiting to come out, I help you uncover it and take action.
