Hi! I’m Kelly Sturmthal, attorney, Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA), entrepreneur, and proud military wife and mom. After more than 25 years helping families and business owners plan for what’s next, I had a lightbulb moment: life doesn’t come with a handbook.

So, I decided to create Kelly's Briefing Room.

Family First

• Business & Financial Clarity • Alignment and Communication

• Protect • Prosper • Plan

• Peace of Mind.

The Three Pillars of the Briefing Room

Everything we do comes back to three simple, powerful pillars:

Protect

Protect what you've built, your family, your marriage, your home, and your benefits.  Put the right legal and financial safeguards in place so you can move forward with confidence.

Review your legal documents, wills, powers of attorney, and medical directives and refine your asset protection strategies. Prepare for both the unexpected and the future you want.

Plan

Plan for the next 1, 3, and 5 years so you’re prepared for what’s coming, not scrambling to react. Together, we’ll map out realistic timelines for both your family and your business.

Strengthen your family’s future with conversations about values, alignment, and natural strengths. We’ll walk through prep and checklists, and build family plans that work today and beyond.

Prosper

Because surviving isn't the goal, thriving is. Build stability and long-term growth, personally and financially.

Learn practical financial tools and planning strategies for both military and non-military income. We cover benefits optimization, smart money management, and even entrepreneurial growth.

Why the Briefing Room Exists

If you’ve ever juggled first time jobs, first home, moves, careers, kids, and finances while wondering “Am I doing this right?” — you’re not alone.

That’s why I created Kelly’s Briefing Room—a simple, supportive space to get clear, practical guidance.

Choose a one-time Brief or a membership for ongoing legal, financial, personal, and planning support with a strong family focus.

It’s where your real questions get real answers — without legal jargon, billable hours, or overwhelm.

What You’ll Find Inside

In Kelly's Mastery Class, we gather every month for Zoom briefings covering the real-life topics that matter most—practical financial tools for individuals or couples, 1 or 2 income family tips, alignment and natural skills assessments, communication tools, estate planning basics, civilian and military benefits, business basics if you own or want to own a business, structure and growth steps plus so much more.

In Kelly's Mastery Class you will also get:

Office Hours: Join me for live Q&A and one-on-one personal guidance plus Action Kits & Checklists. In other words, we get to plan together for you and your family. My office hours include practical tools to help you actually get things done.

Replay Library: Catch up anytime, because life doesn’t always follow your calendar.

Community: Connect with others who understand the challenges and celebrate the wins with you.

NEXT MASTERY CLASS starts MARCH 11, 2026.

Additionally, every month Kelly's Briefs are available covering many different topics in the areas of finance, business, legal and non military and military life. Each Brief is a one time class, seminar, download or practical implementation tool to keep you and your family moving forward, regardless of your season of life, from $57 to $197 per Brief.

A Note From Me

I built Kelly's Briefing Room for families like mine, a place that feels safe, steady, and smart. A place where you can plan confidently, instead of figuring everything out alone.

Over the years, I’ve built and grown multiple businesses, each teaching me lessons I now bring to The Briefing Room, so you can navigate life with clarity, confidence, and support.

If you’re ready to trade stress for strategy, join us. Let’s protect what you’ve built, prosper and plan what’s next.
