Tommy & Jen Neitzel at Empoderate Brunch: The Power Within This weekend, I did something that scared me more than any business challenge ever has. I stood on a stage at the Empoderate Brunch in Dallas and told my story of domestic violence, publicly, and in detail for the very first time. I talked about the night I was violently pushed to the ground, the sound of my head hitting the pavement, and the friend who dragged me to safety while my abuser’s father went to comfort him. It was raw. It was uncomfortable. And it was real. Thankfully, I wasn’t alone in this. My husband was by my side the entire time, loving and supporting me through every nerve and every tear. Our closest friends were there too, anchoring me with their presence. Still, when I got home, I crawled straight into bed and stayed there until the next morning. It took everything out of me emotionally. Speaking those words out loud meant revisiting moments I’d rather forget, but I’ve realized that pretending they didn’t happen only keeps the wound open. I can’t heal what I won’t face, and I’m on a dogged mission to heal, once and for all. For years, I’ve coached people, especially notaries and entrepreneurs, to step out of their comfort zones to grow their businesses. This weekend, I had to practice what I preach. I wasn’t talking about marketing strategy or social media visibility. I was talking about one of the hardest things I’ve ever lived through, and the even harder thing: refusing to hide from it anymore. Doing Hard Things Is the Price of Growth Growth doesn’t come from what’s easy. It comes from what stretches you both personally and professionally. Whether it’s starting a business, learning marketing, or telling a story you’ve buried for decades, growth requires the same muscle: courage. I used to think success meant controlling the narrative, keeping everything looking polished and perfect. But the truth is, perfection is a cage. Authenticity is freedom. Speaking about my abuse was terrifying, but it also reminded me of something every business owner eventually learns: you can’t grow what you’re unwilling to face. The Patterns We Repeat I grew up in a home with narcissistic parents, so toxicity felt normal. Love, to me, looked like walking on eggshells and trying to earn peace. When I met my first husband, I mistook his narcissism for ambition. I thought I’d found someone driven, when really, I’d just found something familiar. It took me until I was 48 years old (and a lot of therapy) to truly understand that pattern; how my past shaped my choices and how often I confused manipulation for love. That realization was painful. But it was also the beginning of healing. And healing, just like marketing, is about showing up consistently, doing the uncomfortable work, and refusing to quit just because it’s hard. Growth Is a Practice, Not a Destination Speaking on that stage wasn’t just about sharing a story. It was about reclaiming my voice. It was about modeling what I teach that growth only happens when you move through fear, not around it. Even as someone who teaches marketing and visibility for a living, I’m still learning that vulnerability is the most powerful form of connection. The courage to tell your story, whether that’s your business journey or your personal one, is what builds trust, impact, and freedom. The Power Within I’m done pretending everything’s perfect. I’m done hiding behind success. I’m here to grow as a woman, a coach, and a human being. This weekend reminded me that stepping out of your comfort zone isn’t just a business move, it’s a life strategy. When you do the hard things, you make space for the powerful things. When you tell the truth, you give others permission to do the same. And when you stop running from what hurts, you finally start to heal. That’s the real Power Within , and it’s where every great story, and every great business, begins.

Why Estate Planning Awareness Month Matters October is Estate Planning Awareness Month , a time set aside to educate the public on why estate planning is essential for every household, not just the wealthy. According to the American Bar Association, over half of Americans don’t have a will or estate plan in place , leaving families vulnerable to confusion, disputes, and financial loss. This is where notaries, and especially Certified Notary Trust Delivery Agents (CNTDAs) , play a crucial role. By helping attorneys, fiduciaries, and families properly execute estate planning documents, you’re not only providing a valuable service but also becoming a trusted resource in your community. And October gives you the perfect reason to talk about it. A Step-by-Step Guide for Notaries Here’s a roadmap for using October to educate your community, market your services, and grow your estate planning expertise. Step 1: Educate Yourself First Review estate planning basics: wills, trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives. If you’re a CNTDA, highlight your certification showing that you’re trained specifically to deliver estate planning documents with confidence and accuracy. Collect a few credible statistics you can share (ABA, AARP, NAEPC). Example: “67% of Americans don’t have an estate plan” (AARP). Step 2: Plan Your Social Media Content Break October into four themed weeks so you’re not scrambling for content. 👉 Tip: Pre-schedule posts in Canva or Meta Business Suite so you stay consistent all month. Week 1: What is Estate Planning Awareness Month? Week 2: Why estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy. Week 3: The Great Wealth Transfer ($84+ trillion expected to change hands by 2045, according to Cerulli Associates). Week 4: How a notary/CNTDA supports families and attorneys in the process. Step 3: Use Ready-to-Post Educational Awareness Pieces Here’s a sample public-facing post you can copy, paste, and share: October is Estate Planning Awareness Month . Did you know that more than half of Americans don’t have a will or trust in place? Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy, it’s about protecting your loved ones, avoiding unnecessary stress, and ensuring your wishes are honored. As a notary, I’m here to help families and professionals properly execute these important documents. If you’d like resources to get started, message me. I can connect you with tools and trusted professionals. ✅ Protect your family. ✅ Ease the burden on loved ones. ✅ Take the first step this October. Step 4: Share Stories and Case Studies Without violating confidentiality, share general stories like: “A client was relieved when their trust was properly executed, knowing their children wouldn’t face probate battles.” “I’ve seen families who avoided hardship because they had power of attorney documents in place.” Step 5: Collaborate With Referral Partners Team up with estate planning attorneys to cross-promote content. Offer to give a short community presentation (libraries, chambers of commerce, senior centers). Share your CNTDA certification badge to build authority. Step 6: Call-to-Action for Your Business Growth Add a line in every post: “Need a trusted professional to notarize and deliver estate planning documents? Ask me about my CNTDA certification.” Encourage community members to DM or comment for resources. Collect emails from those interested in estate planning info, then nurture them with newsletters or invites to webinars. Educational Awareness Piece (Ready for Notaries to Share) Here’s a clean plug-and-play awareness article you can post directly to your blog, LinkedIn, or Facebook page for the public: October Is Estate Planning Awareness Month. Here ’s Why It Matters for Your Family Did you know that more than 50% of Americans don’t have an estate plan ? (Source: AARP) Estate planning isn’t about how much money you have, it’s about making sure: Your loved ones are protected. Your medical and financial wishes are honored. Your family avoids unnecessary stress, conflict, and court costs. Experts call this moment in history the Great Wealth Transfer ; an estimated $84 trillion will pass from older generations to heirs by 2045 (Cerulli Associates). Without a plan, much of that wealth could be lost to taxes, fees, or disputes. The good news? Estate planning is easier than you think. It often begins with simple documents like wills, powers of attorney, or a living trust. And notaries like me play an important role in making sure these documents are properly signed and executed. This October, take one small step: ✅ Start a conversation with your loved ones. ✅ Connect with an estate planning attorney. ✅ Schedule time to get your documents in place. Your family’s future will thank you. Wrap-Up for Notaries By combining education with marketing, October gives you the perfect platform to: Build your credibility. Grow your CNTDA business. Help families in your community take action on one of the most important topics of their lives. Remember: awareness creates opportunity for your business and for the families you serve.

Notary Cruise to Alaska, September 2025 This September, I’m still riding the wave of an unforgettable adventure: our Notary Cruise to Alaska! Nearly 40 of us, fellow notaries and their plus-ones, gathered for a week of breathtaking scenery, good food, belly laughs, and, yes, even a little professional development. Tommy and Jen Neitzel at Chihuly Gardens, Seattle, WA, September, 2025 From Seattle to the Notary Cruise We set sail from Seattle, but not before Tommy and I explored the Chihuly Gardens. As someone who has long admired Dale Chihuly’s work, wandering among his luminous glass creations was nothing short of magical. From there, we boarded our Celebrity Cruise ship, gleaming, glamorous, and staffed by the kindest crew. If you’re ever considering a cruise, I can’t recommend Celebrity highly enough. I ate every last bit and it was delicious! Alaksan King Crab in Ketchikan, Alaska Adventures in Alaska Ketchikan charmed us with its quaint streets and unforgettable Alaskan crab legs (truly the stuff of seafood dreams). Juneau gave us a chance to visit a mush camp, meet Alaskan sled dogs (and their irresistible puppies), and even join a mush team for a ride. These working dogs stole our hearts with their grit and energy. Cruising past Dawes Glacier , we marveled at its brilliant blue ice, like nothing you can capture in a photograph. In Skagway , we boarded the White Pass & Yukon Railway, winding our way up through the mountains on a historic steam train, soaking in views that took our breath away. Our final stop in Victoria, Canada ended with a group Korean BBQ feast so massive it felt like a food challenge. Delicious doesn’t even begin to describe it! Our Mush Team in Juneau, Alaska Onboard Fun When we weren’t out exploring, we made the ship our playground. The martini bar quickly became our “scene of the crime,” where laughter flowed as freely as the cocktails. ABBA night at the disco had us grooving (and maybe even dancing on sofas… no names mentioned). Every meal was a feast, every conversation a joy, and the bonds we built will last long after the cruise. We also carved out time for a branding workshop, proving that learning and fun can absolutely coexist. I was especially touched to sign a few copies of my new book for notaries who brought it along. That was a dream come true. Our first evening cocktail party on the Notary Cruise to Alaska More Than a Vacation This cruise wasn’t just about travel, it was about connection. Meeting spouses, children, and friends, finally hugging people I’ve only seen on Zoom for years, and sharing memories over dinner or dancing...these are the moments that matter. The weather was mild (despite me packing for a trek through the Arctic Circle), the laughs were loud, and the friendships we forged were real. My abs still ache from laughing so much, and my heart is full. This experience reminded me that our notary community is more than just professional connections. ..it ’s family. Forever partners, forever friends Don’t Miss What’s Next If this sounds like the kind of adventure you’d love to be part of, make sure you’re subscribed to Marketing4Notaries.com .
