Butterflies, Bees, and Bubbles: Lessons and Gifts in Gratitude offers a comfortable and accessible collection of stories and wisdom that gently illuminates the path to adulthood. The book is a tribute to the three women whose advice is a gift that keeps on giving.

A 36-year career as Senior Vice President and Wealth Advisor at a global financial services firm was not the future Gwen Cohen envisioned as a child growing up in Barbour County, Alabama. Little did she know that the lessons learned and wisdom shared by her dynamic parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents would propel her to academic, athletic, and professional success.

After earning her MBA at Northwestern’s Kellogg School, she joined what would become Morgan Stanley, where she helped successful clients preserve the things they treasured. While in the early years, Gwen focused on helping clients manage and preserve their wealth, she discovered that many sought advice on navigating other aspects of their lives that they equally treasured.

That’s when she discovered that the financial literacy and critical thinking lessons that prepared her for adulthood were as invaluable to her clients and their families as they had been to adolescent Gwen. She is now asked to share this wisdom with large audiences throughout the country. That led to the publication of her first book.

Taught the importance of giving back, Gwen has served on numerous nonprofit boards, including the Chicago Foundation for Women, WTTW/WFMT Planned Giving Advisory Committee, and Kellogg Alumni Council. She has mentored dozens of children and young adults. Gwen has been a long-time Kellogg donor and member of the Kellogg Executive Women’s Network (KEWN). She has been a speaker in person and virtually at KEWN events. To demonstrate her gratitude for all she has been given, Gwen has committed a portion of the net proceeds of this publication to causes she cares about.
