Hello !
I'm glad you're here!
I’m Therese (my friends call me Terri).
Do you wonder, “Am I really doing what I’m meant to do?” I’ve worked in the financial industry my entire career, climbing the ladder and helping women build solid futures through financial planning. I enjoyed it, but when the pandemic hit and life flipped upside down, I started questioning everything.
A Tough Wake-Up
Lockdown stripped away my sense of control, and I felt raw, vulnerable, and honestly, broken. Running a business through that chaos was brutal—self-doubt crept in, and I wondered if my work even mattered. Life felt so fragile, like it could change in an instant (and it did!). Maybe you’ve felt that, too—the heaviness of uncertainty.
Finding My Way
Then I was invited into Jack Canfield’s Success Principles course, and it was like someone handed me a flashlight. Through those exercises, I dug deep—reflecting on what truly lights me up and realizing how little time I spend doing what fills my cup. My big “aha” moment? Joy isn’t tied to a paycheck. For years, I obsessed over the bottom line, but letting go of what didn’t serve me opened up space for what brings me "True Wealth" or put another way -joy, purpose, and balance.
Creating Breakthroughs - Transforming Lives
That journey of finding my purpose and what brings me joy and fulfillment was my breakthrough, and transformed my life. I got certified as a Success Principles coach to share these life-changing tools, revamping my business model to help women like you create your next chapter with “True Wealth”. I’ve seen women have breakthroughs that inspire me—find clarity, end burnout, and step into lives of joy and purpose.

Working with Therese was a joy! I met her through a mutual friend who worked directly with her and I quickly learned what a blessing that referral was. She is skilled at what she does, however her story is her underlying "why" that provides the passion to be such a huge advocate for her clients.

Working with Terri Nicklas as my Financial Coach is one of the BEST decisions I have made for myself this past year. I needed someone to coach me through decisions I was making that will affect my financial health long term. Terri coached me through a year of change and helped me feel confident about my money decisions. I hired her initial as a "sounding board" - but she has turned out to be SO much more. I recommend Terri with 5 Stars!

Not only is Therese an excellent financial planner but she honestly cares about her clients. She takes the time to listen to your concerns and goals, she gives above and beyond what is expected. I would describe her as a life coach as well as a financial planner. She has excellent ideas and a very positive outlook which is contagious. I can't say enough good things about her and highly recommend her.
