Jodi L. Nastor – Leave Room for Life: Money Matters. But LIFE Matters More.

Jodi L. Nastor has spent more than two decades helping people navigate money, change, and the unexpected turns life can take. A Certified Financial Planner professional, she believes financial planning is about far more than investments–it’s about understanding what matters most to the person sitting across from you.

Leave Room for Life grew from stories, conversations and lessons Jodi has gathered along the way, along with a belief she comes back to again and again: Money matters. But LIFE matters more.

Jodi lives in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, where she is actively involved in her community and continues to walk alongside people through the many chapters of life.

Leave Room for Life: Money matters. But LIFE matters more.

“Am I going to be okay?”

It’s one of the most common questions I’ve heard throughout my career..

It may begin with money, but it’s rarely just about finances.

Because life isn’t always a straight line.

It’s about retirement, divorce, being widowed, relationships, illness, loss, starting over, family, purpose, and wondering what comes next.

As a Certified Financial Planner®, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people through some of life’s biggest moments. Together we’ve planned for retirement, developed tax-efficient strategies, coordinated estate and legacy planning, celebrated new beginnings, and navigated unexpected challenges. Along the way, I’ve learned that the best financial decisions are often the ones that reflect what matters most.

LIFE isn’t about having more. It’s about making thoughtful financial decisions that support the life you want to live.

Through personal stories, honest reflections, and lessons learned over a lifetime, you’ll discover that financial planning isn’t just about numbers. It’s about creating a life that aligns with your values, your priorities, and the people you love.

Throughout the book, you’ll also find thoughtful reflection pages designed to help you pause, consider where you are today, and explore what matters most. They’re not exercises to complete–they’re invitations to think more deeply about the life you’re creating and the decisions that will shape it.

Whether you’re planning for retirement, facing an unexpected life transition, starting over, or simply asking, “What’s next?” Leave Room for Life offers reassurance, perspective, and practical wisdom to help you move forward with confidence.

Because sometimes the greatest gift isn’t having all the answers.

It’s having someone remind you…

You’re going to be okay.

Money matters. But LIFE matters more.
