Gaea Dawn

Gaea grew up in the mountain town of Twain Harte, California, where she spent her childhood climbing trees, biking, skiing, and exploring the outdoors. After earning her degree in Digital Media from Sacramento State University, she embarked on a unique adventure working at sea. She built and led the video department for Princess Cruises, spending six years living and working on and off cruise ships before eventually returning to California to manage the program from shore.

In January 2010, Gaea took an unexpected leap into financial services with Edward Jones, opening her first office and quickly discovering a passion for helping people navigate their financial lives. She built her practice from the ground up through perseverance, meaningful relationships, and a deep commitment to the clients she served.

Nearly a decade later, in 2019, Gaea made the bold decision to become an independent Financial Advisor, partnering with LPL Financial and creating Legacy One Financial. Independence gave her the freedom to build a practice rooted in authenticity, transparency, personal connection, and her belief that true wealth extends far beyond the numbers.

With nearly 17 years of experience in financial services, Gaea works with individuals, families, and business owners across the country to create personalized financial plans and investment strategies aligned with their goals, values, and vision for life. Her approach brings together Mind, Body, Spirit, and Money, empowering her clients to think bigger about what wealth can make possible and pursue their own BIG, wild dreams.

In 2026, Gaea expanded that mission beyond her financial practice with the publication of her first book, Expanding Your Money Story. Through personal stories, financial guidance, mindset work, journal prompts, and practical exercises, she invites readers to explore their relationship with money and create greater intention and abundance in their financial lives.

Gaea was also featured in Inside Success TV’s Women in Power documentary, sharing her journey as a Financial Advisor, entrepreneur, business owner, and mother, along with her perspective on creating success and a life that feels aligned from the inside out.

Today, Gaea continues to nurture the long-standing relationships she has built throughout her career while continually expanding her knowledge in an ever-changing financial landscape. She is passionate about helping her clients feel supported, understood, and empowered as they build wealth and create lives that reflect what matters most to them.

Outside of work, Gaea’s greatest joy is being a mom to her daughter. An outdoor girl at heart, she still feels most at home in the mountains and loves skiing, hiking, paddleboarding, traveling, exploring nature, attending concerts, and finding new adventures. She is equally passionate about personal growth, gratitude, wellness, and giving back to her community… and believes some of life’s greatest wealth is found in the experiences we create, the people we love, and the way we choose to live each day.
