Helping women achieve good financial health
By Katherine Michalets
Freeman Staff
CITY OF PEWAUKEE —
For Rhonda Noordyk, being
an entrepreneur means liv-
ing your passion and having
the flexibility to design your
life the way you want it.
In her case, that passion is
helping to alleviate the
financial vulnerability of
women, especially for those
who are single, divorced or
going through a divorce,
and widowed.
As the founder of the
Women’s Financial Well-
ness Center in the City of
Pewaukee, Noordyk con-
sults with women and con-
nects them with specialists
to help them in such areas
as creating a budget or
estate planning. At the Well-
ness Center, women can also
get financial coaching and
attend programs such as the
upcoming New Beginnings
workshop for recently
divorced women or women
going through divorce.
Noordyk defines financial
wellness as “the state of
being in good financial
health especially as a result
of deliberate effort.” She
said women achieve this
state of being at her center
by learning how to change
their mindset about money.
She strives to provide them
with knowledge and practi-
cal tools and empower them
to make solid financial deci-
sions with confidence.
Last year, Noordyk partic-
ipated in the Think Global
Institute, which helps
women by providing intense
business coaching and men-
toring. Based on what she
learned through that expe-
rience, Noordyk said she
took her idea for a financial
coaching business and
tweaked it to solidify the
brand and idea.
She opened her Roundy
Drive office in October and
the response to the business
has already exceeded her
expectations.
By creating an office with
neutral colors and feminine
touches, Noordyk said she
wanted to create a place
where clients would have a
good experience and she
could gain their trust.
A major component of the
Women’s Financial Well-
ness Center is workshops. A
popular program that meets
the third Thursday of every
month is “Wine, Women and
Wealth,” during which a
specialist is brought in to
discuss different topics.
The majority of the
clients at the Women’s
Financial Wellness Center
are ages 35 to 65, not mar-
ried and who want to get a
handle on their money, but
need guidance. Noordyk
said often women defer
financial responsibilities to
a spouse and need help if he
dies or the marriage ends.
“I saw them as being very
vulnerable and wanted to be
a trusted resource for
them,” Noordyk said of
divorced women.
Often married women
don’t want to “rock the
boat” by questioning the
husband’s handling of
finances, she said.
“They take comfort know-
ing someone else is taking
care of it,” Noordyk said.
Those women may be left
without the knowledge or
skills to properly handle
their finances when they
are again single.
By offering financial
coaching, Noordyk said, she
can help the client lay the
foundation to make long-
term decisions and changes.
Creating a budget and hav-
ing an advisor to hold the
woman accountable and to
offer guidance along the
way is important for many
of Noordyk’s clients. Her
budget program has been
very popular since it was
launched in February, she
said.
While many of the spe-
cialists and partners
Noordyk works with
through the Women’s
Financial Wellness Center
are women, men are also
involved, but they need to
have “the right heart to help
women,” she said.

PEWAUKEE — This week,
Good Harvest Market owner
Joe Nolan was busy search-
ing for old mismatched
chairs to put in the new café,
which will be opening along
with the grocery store in a
new location in only a few
weeks.
The last day the store will
be open in its current loca-
tion will be April 25, during
which remaining merchan-
dise will be placed on sale.
Soon, the new merchandise
will arrive at the larger
space, which is about a quar-
ter-mile west of the current
store on Silvernail Road.
Workers and managers
from Good Harvest Market go
to the new location to check
the progress before its open-
ing on April 29, and the com-
mon feedback is how great a
place it will be, Nolan said.
The café will offer healthy
options for breakfast, lunch
and dinner and will be locat-
ed on two floors. The store’s
seafood department is dou-
bling in size and a rooftop
garden will be built to over-
look the neighboring land
conservancy.

Helping women achieve good financial health By Katherine Michalets Freeman Staff CITY OF PEWAUKEE — For Rhonda Noordyk, being an entrepreneur means liv- ing your passion and having the flexibility to design your life the way you want it. In her case, that passion is helping to alleviate the financial vulnerability of women, especially for those who are single, divorced or going through a divorce, and widowed. As the founder of the Women’s Financial Well- ness Center in the City of Pewaukee, Noordyk con- sults with women and con- nects them with specialists to help them in such areas as creating a budget or estate planning. At the Well- ness Center, women can also get financial coaching and attend programs such as the upcoming New Beginnings workshop for recently divorced women or women going through divorce. Noordyk defines financial wellness as “the state of being in good financial health especially as a result of deliberate effort.” She said women achieve this state of being at her center by learning how to change their mindset about money. She strives to provide them with knowledge and practi- cal tools and empower them to make solid financial deci- sions with confidence. Last year, Noordyk partic- ipated in the Think Global Institute, which helps women by providing intense business coaching and men- toring. Based on what she learned through that expe- rience, Noordyk said she took her idea for a financial coaching business and tweaked it to solidify the brand and idea. She opened her Roundy Drive office in October and the response to the business has already exceeded her expectations. By creating an office with neutral colors and feminine touches, Noordyk said she wanted to create a place where clients would have a good experience and she could gain their trust. A major component of the Women’s Financial Well- ness Center is workshops. A popular program that meets the third Thursday of every month is “Wine, Women and Wealth,” during which a specialist is brought in to discuss different topics. The majority of the clients at the Women’s Financial Wellness Center are ages 35 to 65, not mar- ried and who want to get a handle on their money, but need guidance. Noordyk said often women defer financial responsibilities to a spouse and need help if he dies or the marriage ends. “I saw them as being very vulnerable and wanted to be a trusted resource for them,” Noordyk said of divorced women. Often married women don’t want to “rock the boat” by questioning the husband’s handling of finances, she said. “They take comfort know- ing someone else is taking care of it,” Noordyk said. Those women may be left without the knowledge or skills to properly handle their finances when they are again single. By offering financial coaching, Noordyk said, she can help the client lay the foundation to make long- term decisions and changes. Creating a budget and hav- ing an advisor to hold the woman accountable and to offer guidance along the way is important for many of Noordyk’s clients. Her budget program has been very popular since it was launched in February, she said. While many of the spe- cialists and partners Noordyk works with through the Women’s Financial Wellness Center are women, men are also involved, but they need to have “the right heart to help women,” she said. www.rhondanoordyk.com Email: kmichalets@conleynet.com Charles Auer/Freeman Staff Rhonda Noordyk in an area designed for stress-free discussions of financial matters at the Women’s Financial Wellness Center. Noordyk provides knowledge and practical tools for empowerment PEWAUKEE — This week, Good Harvest Market owner Joe Nolan was busy search- ing for old mismatched chairs to put in the new café, which will be opening along with the grocery store in a new location in only a few weeks. The last day the store will be open in its current loca- tion will be April 25, during which remaining merchan- dise will be placed on sale. Soon, the new merchandise will arrive at the larger space, which is about a quar- ter-mile west of the current store on Silvernail Road. Workers and managers from Good Harvest Market go to the new location to check the progress before its open- ing on April 29, and the com- mon feedback is how great a place it will be, Nolan said. The café will offer healthy options for breakfast, lunch and dinner and will be locat- ed on two floors. The store’s seafood department is dou- bling in size and a rooftop garden will be built to over- look the neighboring land conservancy. www.goodharvestmarket.com — Katherine Michalets, Freeman Staff Charles Auer/Freeman Staff The new Good Harvest Market takes shape on Friday.
