“Human connection is the purest thing that life has to offer.”

This is how Astrid summarizes the way in which a particular element of the Flourish Family Wealth brand foundation resonates with her. That element? Healthy wealth is a team sport, which for Astrid supports the notion that no one person has all the answers. It is collaboration with others that allows us to achieve balanced and sustainable results.
Healthy wealth is a team sport emphasizes that true prosperity goes beyond financial matters. In recent years, as her three daughters have grown into their 20s, Astrid has paid better attention to her physical health – eating properly, going to the gym regularly, kicking some unproductive habits. She also had a health scare that helped her along the way. But she didn’t make change all by herself.

“I think it takes a village,” she says.

“We need the advisor, the doctor, the friend. It is not just about having money or being super fit. There are a lot of moving parts that connect and flow: if you have one, you can achieve another one, and so on.”

Nowhere has this phenomenon been more present than in Astrid’s relationships – with people and money both. She acknowledges that she didn’t always have great relationships in her life, but that once she worked on and found them, other forms of success – including financial – came to be.

Astrid is a superfan of the New England Patriots and tries to attend a few games every year. She eats a lot – because she is working out more. She is not only healthier, but also wiser, and still likes tequila, which should be slightly chilled and very, very smooth.
