From Unaware to Unstoppable: Why I Help You Align, Plan & Retire Smart

Hi, I’m Tennille Alonzo—Author, Licensed Insurance Representative, and Financial Wellness Educator, and the creator behind Your Goals Your Plans™. My work is rooted in one mission: to help professionals like you gain clarity, create structure, and build a future that feels free—not just financially, but personally.

My Story

Years ago, I walked into a training session at Guardian Life feeling unsure and unqualified—but I walked out with a vision. At that time, I was like many of the people I serve today: working hard, trying to be responsible, but unclear about what it really takes to be financially free—especially in retirement.

That session sparked something in me. Not just a career path, but a calling. I realized that the very thing I didn’t know—money, insurance, planning—was the very thing I needed to master… not only for myself, but to help others do the same.

Since then, I’ve become a licensed representative in life, health, general insurance, and annuities. But more than that, I’ve embraced my role as a financial wellness educator—helping clients cut through confusion and take intentional steps toward a more secure, aligned future. Additionally, I provide guidance for people navigating the maze of financial decisions, career demands, family responsibilities, and future dreams.

What I do Today

I educate, equip, and empower through:

  • My book, Aligned for Freedom
  • My flagship digital tools like the Freedom Forecast™
  • My podcast, Retire Smart: The Uninitiated Guide
  • Speaking engagements and workshops for organizations and communities
  • One-on-one strategy sessions focused on real retirement planning

Who I Help

I support professionals, leaders, and entrepreneurs who are ready to take their financial future seriously—whether they’re building, pivoting, or preparing to retire.

This includes:

  • Anyone who’s tired of guesswork and wants a clear, practical plan to feel secure and free—financially and personally
  • Individuals in their 30s to 60s who want to align their income with their bigger life goals
  • Business owners and self-employed professionals navigating inconsistent income or unclear retirement strategies
  • Women and men balancing career, caregiving, and the pressure to “have it all figured out”
  • Anyone who’s tired of guesswork and wants a clear, practical plan to feel secure and free—financially and personally

What I Believe

  • You don’t need more theory—you need tools and structure.
  • You don’t need to be rich—you need to be intentional.
  • You don’t need to figure this out alone—you need someone who’s been where you are.
