We had the good fortune of connecting with Desza Chabrelle T. and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Desza, what inspires you?
The inspiration for my growth comes from my daughter and siblings. I aspire to motivate them to reach their full potential as I continue on my own path. Leading by example is key, as we may never realize our true potential until we are exposed to new opportunities.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
As a Holistic Financial Planner, I work in a range of financial services, providing comprehensive support and resources in various areas. I specialize in annuities, life insurance strategies, estate planning, college funding, retirement planning, and much more, helping individuals and families to assess their financial needs and goals, and develop customized plans to achieve them. One area of particular interest to me is working with student-athletes. Being able to have a deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities that come with being a student-athlete, and I am passionate about helping these young people to develop, prepare, and secure a long-term financial path in the athletic industry. Being able to work with student-athletes, I want to provide guidance and support in a variety of areas, including financial planning for college, managing athletic scholarships and stipends, developing retirement plans, and more. I understand that each athlete’s situation is unique, and I take a personalized approach to ensure that each individual gets the support they need to achieve their financial goals. Ultimately, my goal is to help my clients achieve financial security and peace of mind and to empower them to make informed decisions about their financial future. I believe everyone should have access to the resources and support they need to achieve their goals, and I am committed to providing that support to all my clients, including student-athletes.

One of my most significant achievements lately has been learning to meditate on my successes. Acknowledging these moments and taking time to reflect on them has been crucial in helping me to stay motivated and focused. By continuing to meditate on my successes, I feel confident that more positive moments will come my way. I am also excited to announce a Finance & Fitness Two-Day Symposium, which will take place at The College Basketball Experience in Kansas City, MO this upcoming July. The F2 Symposium is an exceptional opportunity for sports professionals, including athletes, trainers, and coaches, to gain valuable knowledge and insights that can help them succeed in the sports industry. As the organizer of this event, I am confident that the F2 Symposium will be an incredible learning experience, bringing together some of the brightest minds to share their expertise. I am thrilled to offer this unique opportunity and look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on the attendees, registration will open very shortly!

Maintaining faith and focus is not always an easy task. It’s common for us to question ourselves, wondering “Why am I doing this?” or “Why am I here?” when we don’t see the expected outcome. Nevertheless, it’s crucial to remember that success takes time and patience. All we need is to have faith in ourselves and our abilities, and the determination to stay focused on our objectives. With these qualities, we can overcome obstacles and achieve our goals.

I have learned one of the most important lessons in life – that sometimes, no matter how badly we may want something, we must be patient and trust in a higher power’s timing. I am a firm believer that knowledge is power, and I am addicted to learning because I know that the right information has the potential to transform lives. My confidence in my abilities and my determination to succeed drive me to continually seek out new knowledge, which I use to enhance my life and the lives of those around me.

Proper financial planning is crucial, yet often overlooked in conversations about finances. While many discussions focus on ways to acquire money, it is equally important to know how to manage and grow it. As a financial planner, I am here to help you diversify your finances and create a comprehensive plan to secure and grow your wealth.

Athletes have a significant influence on society, and we can use their platform to initiate important conversations about financial literacy. By prioritizing our understanding of finances, we can alter the narrative and set a new standard for our lives. While our parents may have focused on providing us with a life they never had, we can take control of our financial future and pave the way for a more secure and stable tomorrow.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend visited for a week, I would plan out the events in advance. On the first day, we would settle in and find a quick spot to grab some food. My lovely connection with Edgar and the updates going on at Toyota Center, the Houston Millennials has been a great resource for networking and unwinding. During the weekdays, we would engage in light activities such as visiting a plant store, taking a pottery class, or attending weekday happy hours. And for the weekend, we would enjoy Houston’s nightlife by planning events with local businesses.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to take a moment to express my appreciation for my daughter. Her spirit, mindset, and energy are nothing short of inspiring. Rayven’s infectious personality has a way of motivating others to take action and get things done. Her words carry a powerful message that can inspire change and encourage growth. I am grateful for her presence in my life and the positive impact she has on me and those around her.
