Disclosures, Compliance, and Legal for Awaken Financial Designs:

Awaken Financial Designs LLC is a Registered Investment Adviser with the North Carolina Securities Division (CRD #339725). Registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training. Nothing on this website constitutes individualized investment, legal, tax, or insurance advice. All information provided is for general educational and informational purposes only and should not be interpreted as a recommendation that any specific security, strategy, or planning approach is suitable for any individual. Investment advisory services are provided only pursuant to a written client agreement and after delivery of required disclosures, including Form ADV Parts 2A and 2B. Services are offered only to clients in jurisdictions where Awaken Financial Designs is properly registered or exempt from registration. All investments involve risk, including the potential loss of principal. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Investment Advisory & Insurance Capacity Disclosure

When providing investment advisory services, Awaken Financial Designs acts as a fiduciary in accordance with applicable law. Awaken Financial Designs and its principal, David Lundberg, are also licensed insurance agents. When acting in the capacity of an insurance agent, compensation is received in the form of commissions paid by the issuing insurance company. This creates a financial incentive to recommend insurance products. Clients are not required to purchase insurance products through Awaken Financial Designs and are free to obtain insurance coverage through any provider of their choosing. Insurance services are separate and distinct from investment advisory services.

Fixed Insurance & Annuity Disclosure

References to life insurance or fixed annuity products refer solely to insurance products and not securities or advisory investments. Guarantees associated with insurance products are backed solely by the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. Insurance products are not FDIC-insured, not bank guaranteed, and not insured by any government agency. Fixed annuity products may include surrender charges, liquidity limitations, caps, participation rates, and other contractual features that vary by product and insurer. All product terms and costs will be disclosed prior to purchase. Recommendations of insurance products are made based on suitability standards and the client’s stated objectives and financial circumstances.

Educational Content & Testimonials

Workshops, webinars, blog posts, videos, social media content, and other educational materials are provided for informational purposes only and do not create an advisory or insurance relationship. Testimonials and client experiences presented on this website reflect individual experiences and are not representative of all clients. No guarantee is made that any client will achieve similar results. Statements regarding retirement timing or financial outcomes are illustrative only. No compensation was provided for testimonials unless explicitly disclosed.

Holistic & Wellness Integration

References to mindfulness, meditation, breathwork, or holistic wellness practices are optional lifestyle considerations intended to support thoughtful decision-making and personal well-being. These practices do not constitute investment, medical, or therapeutic advice and are not required to engage in financial planning services.

Jurisdiction & Privacy

Awaken Financial Designs offers services only in jurisdictions where it is properly registered or exempt from registration. Insurance and advisory registrations vary by state. The firm maintains physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards designed to protect client information in accordance with applicable privacy regulations.
